One man decided that a good name for the antithesis of
The Mystical Way
would be
What's The Point –

then after additional time on The Mystical Way he concluded that the two were not that far apart
(especially regarding the name he'd given the latter).

When one man reached his own understanding, he said,
"Outside the mind there is no enlightenment, and inside the mind there is none.
God I love it when things work out so neat!"

There is ultimately no such thing as slight distraction --
an acceptable degree of you listening to you think about it.

There's this one problem that can't be cured,
but if you look dead at it, it can!...for as long as you hold the look.
After that, look out! -- it's back again.

It requires a touch of magic
to separate sound from the hearer,
to strip the sight from the seer,
and such be the art
of the unruffled mind.

One man was pleased to note that he'd progressed to not being bothered
That he could use conflicting enlightening ideas.
...Ahhhhh! -- an unruffled, uninterrupted mind. Ahhhhh.
