New Page 1 Meditation has been a part of our lives since before the beginning of recorded history. It is mentioned in all our earliest human records. The Oriental cultures have used meditation for centuries to understand themselves, and experience the true meaning of their lives. The American Indians called meditation their Vision Quest, or Perceiving Quest.
Meditation is like coming home.
We meditate to recover something of ourselves that we sense is missing. It is a peace that lies within us. Many wise men, shamans, prophets, and even physicians like the late Austrian Psychiatrist Dr. Carl Jung, have refereed to a universal consciousness, to which we all belong. Jesus called this consciousness God. The Indians called this The Great White Spirit.
