Daniel 12:11 · World English Bible
From the time that the continual burnt offering is taken away, and the abomination that makes desolate set up, there will be one thousand two hundred ninety days.
When the practice of sacrificing thoughts falls away, the creative right hemisphere is left barren, and that emptiness is the abomination that makes desolate: seeing at last that one's own mind has gone spiritually dry. The daily sacrifice is the steady offering of thought in meditation, each stray movement laid down so the inner ground stays alive.

ESOTERIC
When the practice of sacrificing thoughts falls away, the creative right hemisphere is left barren, and that emptiness is the abomination that makes desolate: seeing at last that one's own mind has gone spiritually dry. The daily sacrifice is the steady offering of thought in meditation, each stray movement laid down so the inner ground stays alive.
Take that away and the true garden withers. The number 1290 measures the length of that barrenness, the counted stretch a person passes through once the discipline stops. What ends is the daily quieting of the mind that kept the creative side fruitful.
Daily sacrifice: the steady offering of thoughts laid down in meditation to keep the mind alive Abomination that maketh desolate: the creative right brain gone barren, the mind seen as spiritually dry 1290 days: the measured span of that inner desolation once the discipline of meditation stops
Esoteric lens
What small daily thing have I let slip, and how dry has it left me?
Sitting every day is the whole of it. Skip the practice and the ground you were tending slowly goes dry, with nothing dramatic to mark the loss.
Stillness holds only through long, steady practice without breaks. The gaps are what let the old restlessness grow back.
Do not stop the daily work even if you will not see it finished. The steady small offering is what keeps the whole thing alive.
