How To Do Nothing Well: A Guide To Meditating Actively was the fruit of years long study to try to understand the answer to a central question: Why do people suffer and not heal if there are so many spiritual traditions around that seem to point at miraculous abilities for people to recover?
The book is unique in that it outlines a meditation discipline that does not take a stance concerning whether you are Hindu, Hebrew, or Buddhist. Each of these paths are pointed out as potential destinations or stops that your meditation discipline might take you. The idea is to become conversant in the inner spiritual world, and allow yourself to understand what it is you actually believe versus what it is that we often say we believe. The discrepancy between the two points is often a large, gaping chasm that we hope to convince ourselves is not there if we repeat what we want to be true often enough. This, it turns out, is a major roadblock to receiving the kinds of miracles and healings that we often hear occurring.
Because no specific position is taken with what spiritual tradition a person "ought" to be aiming toward, the reader is free to see whatever it is that is within their own "temple" or body. Who is the God over that temple? Do you not owe it to yourself to find out?
