We had a lecture at WNY CFI on meditation a few weeks ago. I missed it due to other commitments. I learned to meditate why serving in Saigon at one of the Churches of the Corner Bar there. It has come in useful from tome to time. Basically. IMO. it is very similar to what I was taught as a kid. "Stop what you are doing, take a deep breath, and think again. I don't think lack of "meditation is a CFI problem, but a societal one, everyone is now expected "multi-task."
I see this
Church of the Corner Bar thing recurring in your posts Gary...
I'd like to pick your brain about it.
Don't know if I can or will, but I'd like to.
Our High Priestess is Saduri, the first known barmaid from the Epic of Gilgamesh. Their are many congregations, most likely several in your neighborhood. They are places where people get together, network, and support each other. Yes, we do have many disputes and "theological" differences. But in general we support each other. We don't prey, we toast.
