Making people and ideas findable
I love my age
I am 75, going on 17. Ex-cancer, ex-cardiac arrest, ex-amnesia, ex-alcoholic. Meditation helped me emerge from the dungeons of morbidity. A professional writer, I had stopped dabbling in any imaginative work.
My experience shows that few people try to stabilize a self-tormented person. There is no option to soul-searching, genuine introspection, not self-pity.
It took me about four years, but here I am, bouncing back as a flippant clown, flirting withall. Above all, I am back on the job, writing; this time a novel, meant to be an explosive tale of international terrorism, political chicamery, deceit and religious bigotism.

It's simple, once one gets the hang of it. Concentration is the key. And go for it.
Focus on the tip of your nose and think of a single entity -- God, son, daughter, spouse, or just ONE.
--Then keep concentrating until ...you see a light which grows around you and envelops you in a soothing embrace. Everything falls in place.
The adage "Where there is a will..." is outdated. I am talking of when there is NO will. Then, you DEMAND divine intervention.
Believe me, it takes time, but it can happen;
