So informative and really lays it out clearly. I love the bit about being persuaded (understatement) by our culture to be on RED ALERT (thanks GWB and Dept of Homeland Security) and essentially fear-based. Of course, industry and corporations make a profit off our dis-ease by selling us relief in the form of anti-anxiety medications, cigarettes, junk food, and everything else. Alternatives -- using meditation as you suggest and moderate, healthy amounts of exercise, for instance -- are the way of the future but it will take, well, persuasion. The good news is, people who consistently feel they're being "chased by the lion," or some variation thereof, have enormous potential to harnass and redirect their energy/Qi into deep meditative states, creative endeavors, meaningful service and other activities which help themselves and help the public good. Thanks again for the post. Sending sunshine from NY :) L Great post, David! So informative and really lays it out clearly.
