Here’s a personal story I’ve long wanted to write for my FRiends on Free Republic. Consider it a break from politics.
Would love to hear comments from mediators and others who have had interesting religious or transcendental experiences.
I’m a Christian Bro. Christ is the answer for every need in our lives.
Zen is now.
The Dali Lama says it’s always good to meditate on
compassion.
Oh, and it’s good to have a bell.
Thank you, I will read carefully tonight and reply.
Truth is not only seen by people with certain labels or particular beliefs.
Truth exists deep in the heart of everyone.
Norfolk, VA is the largest Naval Port in the world.
I’ve been offshore in a small sailboat in a full gale and wishing I was a farmer in Kansas. Talk about enlightenment!
Thank you for sharing your experience.
Balboa Park is a magical place. I used to live in a bungalow pretty close to it and it was a wonderful time in my life. Certain place seem to induce peaceful states.
When I was little, it was easy for me to enter such states. Elementary school was what ruined it for me, no daydreaming allowed, kind of like prison for children.
Long walks in nature work best for me now.
The closest to Zen was when the Karate Kid was seen.
“Don’t forget to breathe, very important.”
Politics: to break from this for a few hours is healthy for anyone. Why don’t doctors suggest this at times? Politics not only destroys nations, it destroys human beings just as badly. (not to suggest anything is ever destroyed ‘goodly’
“Would love to hear comments from mediators and others who have had interesting religious or transcendental experiences.”
I don’t know, or want to know, what a “mediator” is, but my “interesting religious ... experience” is accepting Christ as my Savior in 1956. True peace comes from Christ. Chanting, mantras, and similar “vain repetitions” are not from Above.
