Mysticism light

We are not doing mysticism lite!

This is not a casual affair!  The journey begins now!  67 to 70 is the culmination of the training. You can force your way through the tunnel. You could be at the completion stage of your practice and enter into the great dome of the rock.  In Hebron you can see the tomb of Abraham. If a Muslim sees Jesus is it more credible than a Christian? Ascension into heaven can be your primary direction you do not have to be excessively cluttered and mired in material. You can be a minimalist in every direction. Your accumulation can just be very old fashion like phonograph records. You could even pick up more John Denver.  You could play the piano when it rains and take Beethoven as your mentor.  If you need mentees they can just be your podcast listeners. It can be considered arcane to watch TV.  One is a minimum while 3 is like a standard while five is like extra effort that being miles walking. You do not have to be dog tailed by being stupid. Practice is how you get into the hereafter.  To be enlightened is almost the same thing as not to eat and have sex.  A fool could just be someone who has gone to medical school.  To become young again you have to stimulate your stem cells.  If you forgot to play ping-pong you could just put the paddles in the car.  The final mission could just be submission.  You could fall in line with the sant mat tradition.  Meditation is more than something to do in retirement it is life’s bread itself!  You can nurture your brain with just Simran if you have no other solution.  Your communication with God doesn’t have to be documented with 10,000 poems.  Though God seems to like worship.  You can study yoga until you just stop thinking.  If you worry about the opinion of others - you will always be wrong.  Paying a preacher creates the illusion of a solution.  You could be indwelling instead of just swelling up.  If you don’t eat packaged food you will not be surprised by imbedded sugar.  Being enlightened may be a tall order.  The God channel works better if you are minimal.  You can go to the divine plane in the same way some people go to work the morning shift.  The Deppen man leaves at ten after five every morning to go to the factory.  He probably has to pay for his big truck.  Instead of waiting until tomorrow you can just go to Kilimanjaro.  With just cash you can move every three months.  You can still just write in a diary if you are still a bone head.  If you have not risen to the Universal you are not really following any Religion.  Since I am doomed by illusion anyway I guess I should just plow ahead now while I can.  65 to 70 has become the new prime.  There is no way to hedge away all the risk.  Only a fast, a long jog and a freezing shower can help. To become a minimalist you could shrink everything down and then just leave it in the cloud. You could try a minimalist apartment in Kyoto.  In the holy land you could visit the Dome of Abraham just in Hebron. If you study Ibn Arabi it is like reading “Christianized Sufism”.  That is the powerful influence of Spain.  Just by fasting, prayer and a cold shower you can become a Santo.  Though you should also meditate.  Simplification is hard to achieve if you keep buying and then leaving. An extremely profound doctrine is just the sound current.  You can just be alone in your achievement.  Maya is not just physical matter it is just having attachment to it.  You can push yourself through the porthole as if it were another sport.  Just the windscape seemed like a good escape.  By just going north you can escape most of the air conditioners.  You can release yourself from a tie-down by just not buying. You can become a wandering Saint by just not getting up late.
