The ultimate freedom is to have a completely clear and free mind. The human mind is always changing and is always trying to add more desirable experiences. There is no end to this addition. The way to find peace and clarity is to know the real world, the True world, by subtracting the past that has been recorded and stored within the body and mind as pictures. There is nothing more valuable than one's mind. It shapes the entire world that one knows. Through subtracting in Maum Meditation the Uni …

We are a group of mamas who are tired of the catty, gossipy, drama-filled pettiness that is found in so many groups of women. We decided to create our own group, with the hopes that it would result in genuine, close friendships between mamas who might be different on the outside but are the same on the inside: human beings with feelings and a need for girly companionship. With this ultimate goal in mind we changed our group at the end of 2011 to focus on MNOs (hence, "The MNO Edition"). We learn …
To properly describe the Grove of the Ancient Willow, imagine the Druids sailing from Europe in exploration or to get away from the execution of the Romans and they find North America by chance or by divination and prophecy. The druids meet the native American Tribes and not just befriend them but learn and grow along with them. Here the druids build new monuments as they move around north America and make themselves a new sanctuary alongside new friends. As part of the Grove we follow exactly t …
