Intermediate Meditation
“Meditation is concentration in the beginning. It’s a focus. Then, in the intermediate stage, it’s an opening, a deepening of one’s awareness but with a focus towards the planes of light.

”Our subject tonight is transcendentalism — the awareness of eternity in the present… As I’m sitting talking to you, I’m watching a squirrel.

Magic (Lake Tahoe)
