Lifestyle

Poem;

Being totally settled is good for becoming transcendental. When the mind & body are tranquil and at rest then the Soul can ascend. Physical existence should always be secondary and only come after deep meditation and adequate exercise. I believe strongly in physical fitness mainly to support practice. People should meditate from 3am to 9am, then exercise outside and then have breakfast at 11am, then go to work at 12. The typical corporate employee only actually works like two hours anyways. It is probably better to have them start later and be completely mindful. It would be like having employees that are totally enlightened. In actual practice most companies are like insane asylums. Sawan Singh recommended a part-time job and just reduce your material needs instead. Totally enlightened employees are very nice and have psychic powers they can read other people minds just for the purpose of being even more nice to them. One of my early poems describes how a mystic’s day actually ends at nine. Because real life is actually lived on the higher planes. At least by nine you can be certain of being satisfied. You also have greatly reduced karma which is helpful. If you have to work more it is probably because you are narcissistic and hope to buy girls. This is further encouraged by the girls who look at men and only see money. This creates a lot of racket. So just don’t get on the treadmill. With a hedge fund you use your intellect to get an edge so then you can get ahead. But most arbitrages just lead to karma and end up useless instead. I am sorry if I sound like the Pope. Most people don’t get ahead until after they are dead and get a tombstone instead. At 5pm you can calm down a bit and watch the Sun turn red. Then you can return to short meditation to readjust your head. Long commutes are disturbing to the prana and damage your brain so don’t do them and damage the environment. It is better to walk home and then meditate again before eating. Hatha yoga is acceptable in the evening only because it is beneficial next morning. It is all a matter of timing and Lifestyle. DS Poem November 4, 2018 Silence is all we dread. There’s ransom in a voice - but silence is infinity. Himself not a face. poem 1251 by Emily Dickinson 1873 Longing is the seed that wrestles in the ground, Believing if it intercede It shall at length be found. The hour, and the clime- each circumference is unknown, what constancy must be achieved before it see the sun! Poem 1255 by Emily Dickinson 1873 But when I cleared the clouds away, I found myself up and awake, while my inner spring refreshed my eyes, and from my drunken poverty I recovered, grew rich in my second separation, union like oneness to me. So fight on! Witness in you, from you, a silence beyond description when peace is found. For after I fought, I witnessed that he who made me see, my guide to me, was me Me, my own example.
