Just what is PIR and how does it work. Read my first meeting experience and some of the thoughts, feelings, and concerns that went through my head during the initial meeting of a fellowship I am now deeply committed to.
I haven’t heard it put more consumable and succinct as the idea of the unified layer described by David Lynch. This is god, the spirit, all that is, us, whatever you want to call it it’s the point at which all things are created and destroyed and where we return after death. Below watch David Lynch break down and explain this Unified layer and how it interacts with our 3D world. More importantly how you can reach it through Transcendental Meditation. David Lynch is an American Filmmaker, artist and writer born in the early 1940’s.

After missing several days of work and feelings of shame, guilt, and depression were setting in, my friend Will came and picked me up. He took me to my first AA meeting and talked to me about why I was doing what I was doing. I was ready for help and I knew I needed it. I was 30 at the time. I went to AA for a few months, never got a sponsor, didn’t read a page of the book but still liked that I was taking some sort of action. Unfortunately, that was not enough and ultimately, I was not ready. Will didn’t beg, plead, or try to convince…
