Democracy and Stress Management The document discusses democracy and how individual spirituality and connection to one's true self through practices like meditation can help policymakers make more universally benevolent decisions that benefit the people. It states that democracy is healthiest when it is focused on the sublime aspirations of the people, not their petty greed. Dark forces that empower selfish interests can be countered through transforming individual pettiness into a perspective of universal welfare, and regular meditation or remembrance of God's name is presented as a means to work toward a healthy global democracy.
