I don't really follow meditation hype. but my impression is that poor studies are cited as "proof" of meditation's benefits, findings that apply to advanced meditators are sometimes touted as accruing to beginners, and, occasionally, some benefits are simply imagined. this may be most true in the business world, where many companies are bringing in teachers who are a bit loose in their use of research as evidence for the usefulness of the method.

More From Daniel Goleman

When you live in a poor neighborhood, you are living in an area where you have poor schools. when you have poor schools, you have poor teachers. when you have poor teachers, you get a poor education. when you get a poor education, you can only work in a poor-paying job. and that poor-paying job enables you to live again in a poor neighborhood. so, it's a very vicious cycle.

I definitely consider myself a method actor, because of my training. i might dispute what people consider a method actor to be. for my money, a method actor is an actor who has a technique. that has a method. and not one method, but whatever might be required. so a method actor is always learning.

I can say with confidence that i never bought into the hype, and i made sure that the people around me didn't buy into the hype, and i did not surround myself with people who fed me the hype. and i'm glad of that as well.

There are a host of surprises among longer-term meditators, like a boost in the immune system from a day of practice, which is not seen in beginners, and a rapid recovery from stress or pain. at the "olympic level" we find there is no anticipatory anxiety when the stress of pain is certain to come, and no lingering aftereffects - unlike the stress reactions in ordinary folk.

I'm even stunned at some of the majors you can get in college these days. like you can major in the mating habits of the australian rabbit bat, major in leisure studies... okay, get a journalism major. okay, education major, journalism major. right. philosophy major, right. archeology major. i don't know, whatever it is. major in ballroom dance, of course. it doesn't replace work. how about a major in film studies? how about a major in black studies? how about a major in women studies? how about a major in home ec? oops, sorry! no such thing.

O lord, may i never want to look good. o jesus, may i always read it all: out loud and the very way it should be. may i never look at the other findings until i have come to my own true conclusions: may i care for the least of the young: and become aware of the one poem that each may have written; may i be aware of what each thing is, delighted with form, and wary of the false comparison; may i never use the word "brilliant."

Jesus said that i am the only way. so it is illogical to say all religions are true, but it is not illogical to say all religions are false. all religion could be false but they can't all be true because there are direct logical contradictions.

You can tell if people are following jesus, because they are fedding the poor, sharing their wealth, and trying to get everyone medical insurance.

Father god, thank you for having no condemnation for those who are in christ jesus, because through christ jesus the law of the spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death. for what the law was powerless to do in that it was weakened by the sinful nature, you did by sending your own son in the likeness of sinful man to be a sin offering. (rom. 8:1-3) help me to understand that the loving chastisement that might come to me after i have rebelled against you is only in the purest father's love and is never to be confused with condemnation. (heb. 12:6)

In order to find jesus, every one of us needs direction. god gives it. the story of the wise men shows us how. the star sign was enough to lead the magi to jerusalem. but it took scripture to lead them to jesus.
