Come meditate on Election Day, Brooklyn!
The city has been rocked by Hurricane Sandy, and there is a lot of anxiety and stress in our atmosphere. What better time, to slow down, take a pause, and come together collectively to meditate!
We will still be meeting for meditation on Election Day night and our usual location, the Brooklyn Commons, 388 Atlantic Ave. between Bond and Hoyt Tuesday, November 6th at our ususal time of 7pm. Thanks to Regine Romain for reminding me of the insight mediation theme song by Funkadelic, "Good Thoughts, Bad Thoughts."
"Listen to the inner voice
A higher wisdom is at work for you
Conqering the stumbling blocks come easier
When the conqueror is in tune with the infinite
Every ending is a new beginning
Life is an endless unfoldment
Change your mind, and you change your relation to time...
You gravitate to that which you secretly love most
You meet in life the exact reproduction of your own thoughts
There is no chance, coincidence or accident
In a world ruled by law and divine order
You rise as high as your dominant aspiration
You descend to the level of your lowest concept of your self
Free your mind and your ass will follow
The infinite intelligence within you knows the answers
Its nature is to respond to your thoughts
Be careful of the thought-seeds you plant in the garden of your mind
For seeds grow after their kind"
