Subject: The Word/non-family etc. Author: Shirley [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 15:16:07 01/31/04 Sat Rick and Merv, your points are well taken and I agree with you wholeheartedly. I do believe that we need balance because as humans we tend to swing from one extreme to another because it is our human tendency. I admit that I meditate little the last several years but at one point in my life, I lived and breathed R.M. I remember years ago that Roy said if you depend on him, you will become worse and that you can actually reach a point where you don't need to meditate. I think it is a good thing to do however, because especially for me, it makes me realize when my mind has lost the discipline it once had. But why do I need this discipline? My answer is so that I can know God and serve him without distraction. If that is our goal then I think it is genuine, but the "Word" is our guide once we have the "presence of mind".
