Forgiving the Unforgivable: The True Story of How Survivors of the Mumbai Terrorist Attack Answered Hatred with Compassion

by Master Charles Cannon

In November, 2008, Pakistani Muslim terrorists attacked Mumbai. The 5 Star Oberoi Hotel was one of their targets. The Oberoi was also where M.C. Cannon, leader of the Synchronicity Foundation for Modern Spirituality in Virginia, and 24 of his associates were staying. Four in the group were wounded and two were killed.

by Scott Edmund Miller

Every human being is born with an extraordinary set of inner resources, including intelligence, attention, imagination, willpower, love, and emotion. Strangely, most people pass through young-adulthood and years of schooling without formally learning about these innate capacities.  As a result, the vast majority of people spend their days harnessing only a small fraction of the great potential that is freely available within them.
