And that's what this Meetup.com group is about - Networking with others and seeing how we can help each other out. Key Concept Networking is simply that... a Business Networking …

This is a group where the focus is actually on DOING the work as opposed to critiquing already finished works. I found s …

In Zen, this realization of one’s True Nature, or Ultimate Reality, is called kensho or satori (“seeing into one’s True Nature,” or discovering Big Mind and Big Heart). It often takes five years or more of extremely difficult practice (I know, I’ve done it) in order for a profound satori to occur. With the Big Mind Process, a genuine ke …
