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.
Okay: I figured we were probably each arguing from dissimilar presuppositional bases.
Thank you for (honestly) clarifying that you are deeply involved in pagan meditation.
There is little point in my attempting to argue my position with you unless you truly want biblical insight.
While I recognize that it is your prerogative to pursue Tibetan meditation, i prefer not try to dress up what you practice in (Christian) Scriptural attire or to somehow conflate the two (Buddhist vice Christian) distinctly different approaches to “meditation.”
Consequently, I still believe what the Marines are pursuing here is at its very foundation unwise (and, yes, antiScriptural). On this point, however, I believe that you and I will simply have to “agree to disagree.”
I do thank you for sharing your insights from your particular perspective.
