If you are not channeling evil spirts what are you doing then?Beside the mind and body thing.Some relions consider this to be wrong and sinful.
Do you think this?JM

NO WAY....

I agree. It is a technique useful for relaxation, purification, self reflection at certain times, for improving mental and physical health, as a way in which one can increase alertness, and so on. The purpose of meditation, in all forms, is far removed from any concept of demons or religion. As such, speaking from personal experience, and the others I know who practice it, it is a pure, natural and I dare say a perfect practice which can help a lot.

I argee!But why does people think it is evil?Anyone know if it says anything in the bible about meditating?I decided to use this as a report in school.
Which is why I keep asking yu guys questions like this.Sorry if it is annoying I just want to know and have a good side and a bad side on this subject.Thanks!JM

No, Jackie, it says nothing about meditating in the Bible. In fact, some forms of Christianity practice meditation. Anybody who says it is evil is a propagandist ******* who just wants to keep people in the state of mind that says Christianity is the one true religion. Which is wrong.

Only if you believe all Buddhists are ''evil''

I don't think any relion is evil.All are different and to me there is no right relion.I mean how can one relion say it is right when the others say it is right too/
Too confusing to go on with that kind of stuff.Anyway if the bible does not say anything about meditating then that must mean that they are ok with it.Right?
Anyone care to help me out here.I am geting reallly confuse!jm

I didnt say anything about the resligion, i said about the people who follow it - Buddhists.

They meditate, so if you believe that meditation chanels evil spirits, then by proxy all Buddhists (how ever many million there are) are evil.

I don't think that any budist are evil at all.I don't even know if it is channeling evil spirts at all.I am asking this question so I can get your views on this subject.
I am not trying to put down any budiest at all I promise.I would never do that.JM Anyway where was I?Do you think when clearing your mind if evil spirts could get in there?
My twin sister use to mediate and she started hearing voices in her head that told her to jump out of the window.She got help and is ok now but it is a scary thought.
How did she get those voices in her head and if it was not from the mediating where was it from then?JM

that is prob more to do with psychological issues not meditating.

who the hell have time for meditation 😑

The religions that say meditation is evil largely consist of people who don't think anyway. So to give them time to think with alot more of their mind than they are used to, they might *Gasp* realise that the religion they are following is BS.

Perhaps it would have been more interesting had the voices told her to push you out the window instead.

Thats like asking, which muslims have time to pray 5 times a day - its in their religion - they have to find the time.

Meditation is not something you do for someone for something else, but only or yourself, so people do it. I used to do it. My mom thought me, and i used to follow it through, everyday 15 mins at 6pm.

I did some research (not much though so this might be wrong) but it seems this concept of meditation being a gateway for devils and such was created by some evangelist called Dr. Billy Graham who went on about how "Transcendental meditation is evil because when you are meditating, it opens space within you for the devil to enter." So some Christians believe, wrongly I feel, that meditation is only good if you meditate on god, as meditating on yourself "is evil and dangerous because when we quiet the mind the devil can more easily find his way in."

Kind of odd.

Uh... Schizophrenia? Just a thought. There are a million reasons why people hear loony stuff in their minds. Meditation isn't one of them. You can't conclude that meditation causes people to hear voices because one person happened to do so while meditating.

Well seriously, thats a whole load of bullshit.

A 'philosohy of life' rather than religion in which people who practice it are not even ment to be soldiers let alone kill anyone in any way is based around meditation, where as all other religions are fighting and killing each other in the name of it.

How did they figure that meditation is evil and dangerious is beyond me.

Billy Graham. I got in a fight with the Rev Bill one time back when I was a kid.

True story.

Why do I not believe you?

I have to admit though, that would be damn cool if you were telling the truth 👆

Channeling evil spirits? Hardly. It's simply a way of finding inner peace, IMHO, by bringing yourself closer to what you believe, or believe in. And I genuinely believe that smoking cannabis can aid in this.

And malfoy, wtf is this in your sig:

KMC'S List of shame😛VS and Turbo-cajun and also Jedi Priestess!

I would think that your decimation of the English language is more shameful.
