I have been interested for many years in finding alternative ways of living. It began with learning about meditation which helps to connect ourselves to a deep feeling of calmness.

My brain travels at 100 mph for most of the day and  meditation is a respite from the incessant internal trivial chatter. When practiced on a regular basis the effect of meditation is amazing and as a bonus is free.

I then became interested in philosophy notably Krishnamurti who was one of the wisest people on the planet. His main teaching was about living in the now. Not focusing on the past or worrying about the future but just being in the moment that is.

How beneficial would it be to teach these methods to children. To enable them from a young age to free themselves from conditioning of others. To allow them to think freely without external impositions.

My proposal for a better world is just that. Introduce meditation to the school curriculum and a little of Krishnamurtis teachings. Let their spirits soar. One of Krishnamurtis books was 'The Awakening of Intelligence'

If a future generation could be given this gift the world might just be a very different place.
