the only time i can successfully meditate is if there's some purpose, as art put it, intent. today i listened to cd "science of peace" part 1 and david described our personal "dream landscape," where we can confront our own personal issues. cool idea! i never had thought of that.

well, heck with all the nature places. i sat down, closed my eyes, and visualized myself on a pretty white-sanded beach, made it cool with the surf sounds, cool breezes, etc, then walked down the well-groomed path and came to a stargate. i commanded it to send me to my dream landscape and walked through.

of all the crazy things, i wound up in a grid-lined holodeck. from star trek, i know how to command holodecks, so i simply commanded it to send me an issue. boy, i got a good one!

now i have two results, a successful meditation and... homework.

btw. for this meditation, i broke all the rules. no deep breaths, no chants, i even crossed my legs. i wasn't even relaxed. the idea was so cool, i decided to just go there and see what i would find. what i learned today is that a great destination makes for a great meditation.
