Don Arney, the man who invented it, is our guest today.
Don is a resident of British Columbia, Canada, and is just the 14th Canadian to be inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame, in Washington, DC

Entrepreneur, inventor, helicopter pilot, and a noted philanthropist, Don has practised meditation for 5 decades to develop his mental potential and creativity.
Don describes how diving deep in meditation has allowed him to find the infinite value in solutions and see that each part of the solution contains the entirety. He adds that everyone has the opportunity to do the same.
Meditation has revealed to Don the interconnectedness of our active world, and he says, “The beauty of mind-stuff is the lack of boundaries.”
Don describes how “Being happy for no reason,” is one of the greatest gifts of his expanded vision.
The profundity of solutions is in their simplicity, says Don, as he relates how solving engineering problems is ultimately a journey of self-discovery.

Simplest State
Sir Arthur Eddington, the British physicist, said, “The stuff of the world is mind-stuff.”
The Yoga Vasistha of the ancient Vedic literature states, “Even as from the waking state there is no materiality in the objects seen in a dream, this world appears to be material, yet in reality it is pure consciousness.”
We are not in the world; the world is within us, and the Simplest State of human awareness is that state where consciousness is open to itself--a field of all possibilities.
The development of higher states of consciousness has been a theme of all cultures throughout time. Each in their own way, our guests have searched for something more, and we will hear how their experiences have impacted their lives as they describe the pursuit, development, and expression of consciousness and creativity in their lives.
Unique guests, fascinating stories, wonderful revelations, and spiritual epiphanies, all brought to light in an entertaining and informative fashion on Simplest State.
