Poem:

You can put yourself up on the cross

Like Jesus just by sitting in contemplation.


Your third eye and mouth could be the downward cross with the two eyes going sideways.  Hallaj says your Love should go beyond simple remembrance.  The penetration of the brain can be the same as breaking a blockade.  You can get your doctorate in just being the first one up in the sky.  The third eye can be your playground where you contemplate the “body as the body” by leaving it down below.  Instead of being a buddhist that is empty you can be more full. Can just tennis, a vegan cook, a sexy wife, reading, playing the piano and meditation be enough? You can delve into scripture and then read history.  On the piano there is a lot in just Bach Beethoven and Chopin.  You can get the “Roots of Yoga” and “Buddhist Scriptures” just from Penguin Classics. You can play five sets of tennis in just three hours. When evening falls it is a good time to enter the inner sky.  24 preludes and fugues of Bach is a lot and so is Beethoven’s 32 Sonatas.  You can play all of Chopin’s Nocturnes. Instead of always being alone you can be conscious that you are just whitewashed bones. You can be full of the “new wine” that the early Christian were mocked over.

Entertainment is very similar to arraignment and being stuck in prison.  You can survive on just meditation and Beethoven provided you have a Guru.  You are lucky if you have something more than prayer and go into union.  To show respect one should sit up straight and pay attention. You can have the five charged names line up like willing slaves. Instead of always getting everything wrong - you can recompose your head.  Once you get a Doctorate then you can try and figure out what is supremely conscious.

You can leave what is leftover just for the bookish.  To be unhappy is to be unhappy with God and is shameful.  You can eat so little that you can remember it.  If you get your Doctorate it can be on disassembling. This poem is not an entertainment center - satisfy your own mind.  Not to go into a state of Union is the same as dissatisfaction.  The five charged words can act as a catch basin and be the end all and the beginning.  You can get a cabin in the North Woods and still be close to town.  You can rejoin your semen to the sun and just call it yoga. You can hold a religious service just in your head by getting out of bed.  You do not have to be a quisling. A condition for not being considered dead is to be well-read. You can use Simran to cure any dissipated condition. You will find that you will escape like Peter.

“The bodies of those who are sincere in love and contentment- The sincerity of their love (wadad) becomes evident through their leanness.”


Abu Nuraim Hilya IX p 387
