Still waters run deep.  A shallow river babbles continuously, creating sounds that gently lull us to sleep.  A deep river has a surface that appears to be still, yet has currents far beneath - not easily seen, and yet powerful. Daring to …

This group is for couples in long-term relationships who would like to share the process of their relationship and learn from the experience of others.

This group is not for relationships in c …

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. It is a spiritual practice - returning to the soul or spirit of the individual and enabling a person to become centered and balanced and thereby more effective in all aspects of …

The ultimate freedom is to have a completely clear and free mind. The human mind is always changing and is always trying to add more desirable experiences. There is no end to this addition. The way to find peace and clarity is to know the real world, the True world, by subtracting the past that has been recorded and stored within the body and mind as pictures. There is nothing more valuable than one's mind. It shapes the entire world that one knows. Through subtracting in Maum Meditation the Un …
