Are you serious? You appear to be woefully ignorant of Eastern-style meditation, such as Zen Buddhist or even Transcendental meditation.

Again, the kind of meditation that Christ would recommend is the kind mentioned in the Bible and described in my previous post. It is mentally active, not passive.

Apples... oranges.

Also, for my understanding, define “one thing,” please?

I have practiced Tibetan Buddhism for 14 years. I was told point blank very early on that it is not possible to "blank" the mind and not desirable to try to. Practicing this the type of meditation described here for about six months will prove that beyond all doubt.

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A "MIND BLANKING MEDITATION." Period. Anyone who told you otherwise is full of it.

Rather, it conveys an active focus of one’s mental power,..

That is exactly what the type of meditation described in the article is. You concentrate on one point. That's it.
