Geography

The problem with God for many people is geography.  They are looking for a god out there in the cosmos who is supposed to be fixing all the world problems, but is not, in their opinion.  They are not looking for the God within themself.  They have no meditative life and often their prayer life is fox-hole type prayers after some mess, often of their own making.  But they often blame the out there god for the mess.  Anyhow, I try to make meditation a daily part of my life.  It helps me.  And I am less likely to blame anyone for the mess around me.  Meditation helps me to ask what I can do to make the world around me a better place.  Being of service is not natural to me, but it is spiritual.  So I try to be spiritual-centered early in the day.
