After learning about meditation from Sam's presentation I got very interested in the whole meditation bringing inner peace. Inner peace within an individual can solve or help many problems that the person maybe facing or troubled with. I was wondering, since meditation is when a person goes into deep thought, will it be best in that state of mind (deep meditation) to create a utopia?
I have two video's that I attached one with interviews with a meditation instructor and a monk, and another one that demonstrates and teaches you how to meditate properly. I wanted to put these up since I know that finals can be a stressful time and I thought it would be interesting if a few people tried it from and tested the claims that meditation users claim.

Welcome to Imagining Utopia. At a time when so many are calling for a reimagining of the systems that we depend upon for our everyday existence, from energy generation and political participation to city planning and economic distribution, now is the time to rethink and critically investigate what that new world might look like. This is a blog for that purpose.

I think you have an interesting point about creating a utopia within your meditated state. However it brings up another question. Do you need more than one person to have a utopia? Can a utopia be a single thought, idea or image that puts someone at peace. Can one person's inner peace be considered a viable utopia?
