Seeking the Truth

Seeking the truth, especially in a world saturated by a divisive media, can be tricky. Seeking the truth about what's going, even with a keen intellect, will only carry one so far.

Puran Bair, chancellor of IAM-University and iamHeart co-founder, speaks aptly about seeking the truth in this speech given as a commencement address to the IAM-U class of 2016:

"It 's difficult for us to get a sense of what 's really going on because it 's fed to us through something called a media - which means something in between us and what 's going on, right? A medium. So we 're actually reacting to the presentation rather than through reality of the events."

The solution he offers lies within the techniques of heart-rhythm meditation and specifically in a practice called "Contemplation", where you learn to connect with the hearts of others in a way that the intellect can't reach. The hidden potential in others and in ourselves does not need a medium. You experience that person or situation direction. By opening our heart, connecting to the hearts of others, we reconnect to something much more universal. Something is revealed that wasn't evident before.
