Many say that the Constitution is the most significant document in America. But do you fully understand what this valuable document means to you? Tune in as Sister Jenna welcomes Legal Expert and Educator, Kim Wehle to the America Meditating Radio Show as she spells out what is in the Constitution and what it means.  Kim describes how the Constitution’s protections are eroding - not only in express terms but by virtue of the many legal and social norms that no longer shore up its legitimacy—and why every American needs to heed to this “red flag” moment in our democracy. Kim Wehle is a law professor at the University of Baltimore and author of the new book, How to Read the Constitution - and Why. She is also a Legal Analyst for CBS News and the BBC, a former Assistant U.S. Attorney, and a former Associate Independent Counsel in the Whitewater Investigation. Visit https://www.kimwehle.com.

While in college, Jeff Cox was guided to the teachings of Paul Brunton. In the early 70s, he and many other students studied with Anthony Damiani who was a close student of Paul Brunton’s.

After nearly thirty years, he retired as president and co-owner in 2012. Since then Jeff became a board member of the Paul Brunton Philosophic Foundation, which is the principle guardian of Paul Brunton’s literary legacy.
