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 rooted in the sublime aspirations of the people, not their petty greed.

At present, chanting names of God appears to be a means of evolving a healthy global democracy.
