A Meditation for Toledo

                Before we may actually be successful at an operation, it is vitally important to focus on the intent and explore the intricacies of that intent and predict the outcomes of the intent’s inception in all possible worlds.  Next, it is absolutely necessary to both know and understand what meditation is and how it works.  “Meditation,” as we come to know and understand it in English, is derived from the Indo-European root med- meaning: To take appropriate measures.  It ultimately becomes the derivative of the Latin term meditari- meaning: To think about or consider; reflect.  In Sanskrit, the term Dhyana is often referred to as “meditation,” however, “Dhyana” is more than mere contemplation, it requires the full attention of consciousness focused on the thing itself being meditated upon in addition to the understanding and knowledge of the thing itself being meditated on.  Take Toledo, Ohio for example, and contemplate its entirety; then, become one with the city itself and see all of existence from Toledo’s perspective.  Let us begin here…

                First, an exploration of Toledo’s history, interests, industries and points that mark its definition must be explored.  The trick is to acquire and in-depth study of what Toledo, Ohio is about and what makes it different from other cities.  Once this information is considered and become comprehensive, the next thing in store is to visualize all of it together and dynamic—imagine a “working” Toledo that carries out its various day-to-day functions including its hang-ups, corruptions and stops.  Continue to imagine as many intricacies as your imagination will allow ad infinitum—in essence, become the city of Toledo yourself…
