Poem:

True Knowledge is to get your PH.D. In transformation mechanics: you can learn the basics like how to get up and sit still like a dead tree stump. You don’t have to think much because the air is already full of chatter. Drinking cosmic nectar does not make you fatter. You can open up your inner ear and listen to the hum of the Universe. You can do it while others sleep. In the dead of Winter you can become a hardcore mystic. I read a lot of books especially biographies. It is like I have lived a lot of lives. The reason people aren’t successful is because they have a lot of rumble, that is why it takes three to six hours. To think you can do it in less is egotistical. My brainscan will prove I am a new Man. Somewhere between the beginner and the Master there should be someone to sit with the young ones. DS Poem January 22, 2019
