Lay down. Get comfortable. Play this 40-minute audio book (watching the video is not needed and headphones are not needed).
If I were teaching an intermediate-level pass-fail course called: Conscious Awareness: Meditation versus Mindfulness versus Prayer this would be a foundational class. I would play the audio book in a classroom with everyone laying on a yoga mat (doors locked, lights off, phones put away) and then ask everyone to discuss. Students would be given a week to submit an essay detailing their perspectives. Just like many foundational classes, passing this class would be mandatory to enroll in more advanced classes.
Intermediate-level because there are some prerequisites. One needs to already know about consciousness, brain chemistry, physiology, religious philosophy, and meditation. Also, it is important to understand that the author adds quotes from the christian bible (as do other important philosophers) and why it is extremely valuable information none-the-less. In fact, it is crucially important to discuss the various biblical quotes in a non-religious context (e.g. the reason Goddard uses the term 'prayer' instead of the more appropriate term: 'meditation').
