Richard Jewell

  

Richard Jewell has been meditating for about sixty years. He has followed the Hindu meditations of Sri Aurobindo and his companion, The Mother, for over fifty of those years while also experimenting with other religions' methods.

He has graduate degrees from San Francisco Theological Seminary and St. Cloud State University in theology, ministry, and English studies. His undergraduate degree is in philosophy. He was a professor of English composition and multi-disciplinary research writing–and of literature, the humanities, and religious studies–for over thirty-five years in Minnesota. In retirement, he meditates, writes, and teaches meditation. He also leads the annual Minnesota Writing and English Conference (www.MnWE.org), which he co-founded with Donald Ross of the University of Minnesota in 2007.

Richard is the author of four other online works. They are available online as free texts for meditators; for college and university students of introductory and advanced composition, creative writing, and literature; for college and advanced high school students studying  the humanities; and for general readers:

MeditationDictionary.org, a comprehensive resource for meditators

5thGospel.org, a novel about the untold story of Jesus of Nazareth, traveler and mystic

------
