Meditation simply means to think about one thing continuously. We have all done it many times. However, that is the most basic definition. This science and art has been practiced for thousands of years but until the past century was not very well known. Meditation is not a religion though some religions also practice it.

Are you sick of partisanship? Have you felt powerless to do anything about it? Let’s change that! I believe, collectively, we can make a difference. We can come together as Americans to solve or at least constructively engage in the enormous difficulties we face globally and as a nation. I have a simple idea. It’s not new, but it may not have been used precisely in this way before. Practically all religious denominations talk about it in one way or another; it is the power of the intentional pra …

This, along with an investigation of Consciousness, and transmission of Being, catalyzes a quantum shift in identity. We find that we are no longer exclusively identified with our finite human self, but have shifted …
