Quote me one passage in the Bible where it says meditation is Satanic
Seriously? That’s as bad as when liberals say that conservatives are “against immigration” and conveniently leave out the word “illegal”.

The Bible is not against all forms of meditation, but it very much is against transcendental meditation, an invention of Hindu guru Maharishi Mahesh Yogi (the Beatles’ guru) that consists of what Jesus condemned as “vain repetitions, as the heathen do” in Matthew 6:7.

Whatever, I bet you can’t cite one instance where a person said a word to himself mentally for 20 minutes, then turned to evil and a worshipper of Satan.

Full disclosure: I have never practiced TM and I think it is moronic to pay thousands of dollars to somebody to get a word to chant.

But being stupid is not the same thing as being Satanic and evil.

Thanks for link and comments.

Years ago I practiced TM. I don't recall it hurting me, at least I didn't think so.

TM, as well as other meditations and Christian prayer can be very soothing.

In the past two years, I have had 2 hip replacements and two bouts of bacterial infection, or whatever they called it. I've had four dental inplants and daily deal with Multiple Sclerosis.

Yeah, kind of a mess but meditation (TM) or not and, and even better still my prayer and intervention prayer from people too numerous to count.

With TM, you go into the deep recesses of brain waves. And, some of those recesses relieve pain.

I'll take prayer, intervention prayer, and meditation any day of the week. I haven't seen it as diabolical or the devil's joy.

I know God knows why I do it. I hope it does not count against me.
