By translating their inner turmoil or understanding into art, artists challenge the accepted notions of reality and create new ones.

As strange as it sounds, meditation may reveal that we are happier than we thought we were. We may discover that ancient conditioning rather than present circumstances is causing our dissatisfaction , and that this moment is quite sufficient or even wonderful, and we simply hadn't noticed.

What's the matter? What's the antimatter? Does it antimatter?

After a few years of meditation practice we can even learn how to occasionally ignore ourselves. And what relief that can be!

If you don't like the news go out and make some of your own.
