The purpose here is steadfast pursuit of pure truths. Researching, examining, viewing videos, considering, and receiving wise counsel is what goes on here. We've learned that it isn't wise to just accept what we've long been taught and what we've long believed. We NOW KNOW to dig to PROVE.

Truths appear in drips, streams, flows and pours. Drinking from the fountains of truth holds pleasures and benefits galore. Yep, truths poured in and truths poured out -- to constructively share. Truths sure can favorably do our lives well.
Initially, truths don’t always please our thirsty appetites. Often, though, when we allow them to rest in soak formation, to marinate and then to sink in thoroughly, our thirsts are satisfyingly quenched. Acceptance of truths adds to successful accomplishments of our action plans -- with relish.
Certainly, digesting truth proves good for our systems.

Teaching Meditation in Prison
I REALLY enjoyed watching this. The subject video has more than one topic. At about the 52:08 mark, it shared about how teaching inmates meditation had some remarkable results. They began the teaching at one of the most dangerous prisons in the U.S.A. -- W. E. Donaldson Correctional Facility in Alabama.
After the selected inmates graduated, one correctional officer said about the participants:
- more relaxed
- easier to get along with
- don't cause as many problems
One of the administrator's said:
- better able to conduct themselves
- less angry
- more mindful
- increased emotional intelligence
The program has been expanded . . .
Again, the story about the successful meditation program in the facility begins at about the 52:08 mark on the subject video.
