The wise Neo-Confucian Zhu Hsi (1130-1200) would recommend half a day reading and the other half quietly sitting.

A psychic whom I greatly respect informs me that I have three spirit guides who were highly respected healers whom I knew when alive: a physician, a psychiatrist, and an osteopath.

I feel honored that they have chosen me to continue their work here on earth.  And as I

A psychic medium told me he asked the Spirit World how best to communicate with it. The reply: “Come as to your mother.” I would just add the obvious, “Come as to your mother of love.”

I believe that if there is a reason for me to meditate, it is to become Aware, hopefully one day Ever Aware, of the linkage to the Spirit World and beyond to the Force Divine, The Great Spirit, the Determiner of All.
