When the Real Shut Down Takes Place

It's been over a week now of the government shutdown, and the America Meditating Blog Talk Radio Show, which is broadcast live from the Meditation Museum in downtown Silver Spring, has been dedicating the show to end the shutdown. Sister Jenna of the Meditation Museum shared a profound thought on the situation, "It is the pain of attachment that is responsible for this shutdown." She continued, "If I am attached to being a republican or a democrat and my decisions come from that identity alone, I have already internally shut down. If however the love of our country and intention to best benefit the nation is our priority, then the decision to shut down would never arise.” Sister Jenna calls upon all members of the Hill to end the attachments to your political identity and instead draw upon your love for the nation, communicate with each other and move beyond the problem toward a solution. 

“Love everyone the same and there will be no room for attachment.”

Love,
