Poem:

To go up into inner space to see what a Big Star the Master is, you have to shrink. You have to squeeze yourself though a narrow tunnel. It may help if you stop eating. It doesn’t help if you have a big head. If you have the right timing you can do the necessary mining. Your Will can be like a drill. You can attempt it very frequently in secret. If you do it becomes automatic. You can adapt Simran as a basic function sort of like breathing. Stillness and Silence are like a forgotten Appliance. Enlightenment is like an extreme reduction in baggage. You can reduce yourself down to just two keys in your head that barely move. The Transcendental Sublime is something you can access all the time. Super consciousness is like hitting a Gold Mine. A Poem of David Smith January 27, 2019 Every ha’ib person in a state of hayba (awe) is a gha’ib (absent, dissppeared) page 108 Early Islamic Mysticism
