Meditation: More Than You Think
May 27, 2024
I don't know a single person who doesn't want to change things about themselves and their lives, from the ordinary every day, to the profound in every way.
This article is not about all the shit that hits the fan when we don't cultivate our greatest human asset: our Energy of Mind.
I wrote about that extensively in the "Origin of All Disease and Suffering."
This article is also not about the minor but awesome advantages "meditation" affords: less stress, more poise, better composure, improved focus, improved immunity, and so on.
Those bennies are all well and good, but here in this piece, I want to talk about the superpower lying dormant in the belly of your being - your capacity to create the life you value and choose, to Consciously Evolve.
I don't mention this capacity lightly, and I'm as allergic to the New Age as you are, which I wrote about that in "This is what is Bullshit about the Law of Attraction."
But it would also be dishonest not to celebrate the fact that we have been endowed with the keys to the kingdom through the potency that might be unleashed should we choose to walk through the doorway of an open heart and elevated mind.
As wonderful as all the well-known perks of a consistent meditation practice are, they are the tip of the iceberg when one considers our capacity to enter deep into the bowels of consciousness in order to make improvements in the motherboard that can effect radical, positive changes in both our inner chemistry and outer experience of a life well loved.
Don't get me wrong, this depth of ability is not even commonly known, let alone coinciding with know-how. Plus, it is even more rare that those who do know, excel at the skill of creative consciousness. 

But living a life without knowing this is possible, and giving it our best shot, seems to me a drab and dreary existence much like the monotonous, stress-filled, overwhelming same-old, same-old counterfeit version most people are mistaking for really living.
Anyway, anyone who knows me knows that I have my struggles and am not perfected in the art and science or creative change, and while I might write with a touch of arrogance I am more realistically humbled by how much I have stumbled on this path. But, wow, the possibilities I have tasted and witnessed in doing The Future Now Mastermind work with others.
As the mysteries unfold and my psycho-spiritual muscles grow under the tension of real effort, I am ever more impressed not only by what I don't know, but also that what lies waiting in the Unknown is of such grand and beautiful design that I yearn to know it more and more, to express it with my greatest virtues and to celebrate the life we are all capable of living… even if, aside from, and especially because bad stuff happens.
Love to ALL,
Together we thrive,
Mike
