Peter Russell is author of many books including The TM Technique, The Brain Book, The Global Brain, The Global Brain Awakens, From Science to God, Waking Up in Time, The White Hole in Time, and Letting Go of Nothing. He has been teaching meditation for a half-century.

Here he presents his synthesis of the different spiritual approaches he has studied and practiced over many years.The common essence, he finds, is the concept of “letting go”. He points out that, when we try hard to push unwelcome thoughts out of our minds, the result can be an increase in tension rather than the deep relaxation that is achievable through meditation. He describes how his own meditation practice has evolved over the decades.

New Thinking Allowed host, Jeffrey Mishlove, PhD, is author of The Roots of Consciousness, Psi Development Systems, and The PK Man. Between 1986 and 2002 he hosted and co-produced the original Thinking Allowed public television series. He is the recipient of the only doctoral diploma in “parapsychology” ever awarded by an accredited university (University of California, Berkeley, 1980).
