Subject: Sunny-meditation Author: Shirley [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 20:06:52 01/31/04 Sat Hi Sunny, no I do not think I misunderstood him. When I was meditating frequently I remembered so many things Roy said. Having said this, I want to clarify what I think he meant by that. I do not think there ever comes a time when we should not be "aware". I think that is the ultimate goal, to be so aware that we are not vulnerable and get sucked into the world's reality. Jesus told the disciples to "watch and pray". We constantly need to "watch" or "be alert". Meditation is a means of knowing what that frame of mind is. Once we have been there enough times, we can consciously keep ourselves there more and more without meditating. Does that make any sense? I am in no way discounting meditation, just making the point that it is a vehicle to find that place of peace, where we can hear God. I hope that I answered your question. I do not think you are at all being rude, I, like you, only desire the truth. I believe God intended for us to share our questions and concerns. There is only one pre-requisite and that is that we must agree that everything line up with scripture. It does not mean that we can only read the Bible but that we have to have a "reference point" otherwise there is no basis for discussion.
