Poem:

After about ten hours it is time to reengage trikuti and go up your susumna. Ten is about the length of your staying power. After about ten hours the ordinary man (OrdMan) wants to go to a bar or eat or watch TV that is about the time that the enlightened man ( EMan) goes back into meditation and recollects his head. At about seven I feel a bit dissipated and have to re-concentrate before it gets too late. Twice a day properly conditions the body. A return to Samadhi in the evening is a helpful measure. When the Sun goes down it is as if your attention went with it. Diffusive forces can be reined in. The brain can be trained if you put before God a petition and sit in a reoccurring position. The remaining time you have is limited. An Enlightened person has a tendency not to even make a purchase and is only interested in a dusty old manuscript. A Poem of David Smith February 17, 2019
