Patrick Rooney, Founder of Old School™, explains in a simple fashion how meditation actually works--that there is a REASON for each component, and how essential it is that we find a counterbalance to the mind-control techniques of mass media that pull us further and further away from the center of our common sense.

It’s easier to just stop sending money to the cable companies. And the money stays with you instead of funding the people that want you dead.

What many people today call ‘meditation’ used to simply be called ‘Prayer’

Brother Lawrence, the 17th Century friar, called it ‘Practicing the Presence of God’:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Practice_of_the_Presence_of_God

There used to be a very small, short website offered by an individual who had taken the ideas of Brother Lawrence seriously, and had very interesting experiences as a result. I haven’t been able to find that site recently - I guess it’s been taken down. But I think I printed it out years ago. I’ll look for it, and post it if I can find it.
