Meditation is the progressive silencing of the thought process

till you get to the source of thought.

The self of the individual, which is also the self of the universe.

You're planting stuff in my mind.

Shut up!

Hi, guys.

Thank you for joining us as we discuss meditation.

This is a podlet, which means it is in addition to our regular show.

Our regular shows are going to drop on Thursdays, but we're going to do this little three-part series to see if we can put something out to help people in these troubled times. We are all experiencing brothers and sisters. And I want to thank Studio Mike at the network studio for helping us get this little podlet up, and he can do the same thing for you. If you have a podcast, you can't get to your guest, you can use Studio Mike's Studio as a hub, and he can make your show happen for you as well. Just reach out to thenetworkstudios.com. Tell Studio Mike I sent you.

Now, we got an email from a friend of ours named Charles, who said he was very encouraged.

He began meditating himself and loved the conversation I had with Edie Falco about meditation.

And that made me feel good because the show's reaching people and you guys are reaching back to us.

So the show's kind of serving a purpose.

And I also like calling Charles a friend of ours.

A friend of us. He's a friend of ours. It's a friend of yours is a friend of mine. Yeah. But it's like, I remember when I was a kid, I don't want to put too fine a point on it, but there was a group of people. Hey. They don't say nothing to nobody, all right? You knew, you know, you knew the agenda of said group.

And if you, and if you were a friend right? And you knew, you know, you knew the agenda of said group.

And if you were a friend of them, they say, he's all right. He's a friend of ours. Yeah, he's in. So that's why I like to call the listeners. He's a friend of ours. Like, Phil, you're a friend of mine. Yes. I'm going to go out on a limb and say these friends names ends with a vowel. Yeah.

Okay.

Are you responsible for the friends you introduce?

Oh, yeah.

Mr. Panano, this is my friend, Donny Brasco. That didn't end well. And there's got to be an introduction, by the way. Yeah, he just can't wander up. A vetting. Yeah, you just can't wander up. Yes. I like your shoes, Really? You want one of them in your ass? Move along.

So I want to thank Charles for reaching out.
