12. Different Methods
Meditation
“When we speak of meditation, it is
important for you to know that this is not
some weird cryptic activity, as our popular
culture might have it. It does not involve
becoming some kind of zombie, vegetable,
self-absorbed narcissist, navel gazer,
“space cadet,” cultist, devotee, mystic, or
Eastern philosopher. Meditation is simply
about being yourself and knowing
something about who that is.”

practice... The question is now what?
It could be a time to invite some folks to speak out
or speak up.” - Dean Johnson
