It's not the same anymore but its not different. We have to make the steps to bring meditation into the modern society. Somewhere between new and old we combine our constantly random TV induced brains to slow, to center, to find. Between the multi-cultural, multi-religious, and multi-political try to find ourselves, bring the light and the middle road into the relm of extremist. The road is there, the mission is possible, and is there a cause?
