Meditation Forward
Dear friend,
The world is changing. There is a current. There is a direction. We all feel this dance. It is the path pulling us. But where? I believe to spirit. I believe to self. But the road is long and it is filled with lessons. Sometimes the lessons bite and we suffer. But in that we grow. On the way we meet forgotten friends. We learn to see each other again. They teach us. We teach them. We walk together and then go our separate ways, trusting when the time is right all paths will again surely cross. Eventually we learn to trust the path, despite its pits and its thorns. Through our cuts and bruises we learn to understand. To understand is to love, sit with this and the current will slow. Stillness is now your teacher and silence is your lesson. Take a breath to remember what it is you are. Now, where to go from here?
Kindly, Eben

Meditation to a modern mind, accustomed to an unprecedented level of pleasure and desire, is not a literal death but a mental death of life's modern existential reason; to feel good and be entertained.
Mass adoption depends on two factors, the value of the discovery and the ease with which it can be learned or manufactured. When a discovery has little value or is valuable but too difficult to create or understand, it's less likely to be adopted. Ultimately it's too costly.
"The extent to which my inner unknown self guides my conscious mind came as a great surprise. An even greater surprise was the realization of how lost I would be without it."
