True Definition of Meditation: Meditating on the Word of God
In this modern world, where people are spiritually hungry and spiritually unhygienic because they don’t understand what it means to be spiritual, meditation has been perverted into something that suits new age spirituality and a godless culture (world). Meditation has become emptying our minds, when it should be filling our minds with goodness (positivity and light) and truth.
The modern world misinterprets meditation for mindfulness by using meditation to not only make them feel present, but to make them feel quiet and peaceful, a peace that (evidently) isn’t real. They still have the mindfulness technique, however, if we have no peace, are anxiety-stricken, what atmosphere are we trying to be in by being mindful? Mindfulness becomes redundant and counterproductive because our internal reality isn’t conducive to why we need to be mindful, which is to feel the peace and joy within ourselves instead of being driven by random thoughts.
The Results of False Meditation
With an unhealthy internal environment, people fill their time with entertainment and distractions because they (ironically) cannot afford to be still as that would make them manifest their (internal) emptiness—void of goodnesses like peace, joy, gentleness, etc. The mind is a powerful tool, it can convince us of just about anything: people will think they are feeling peace because they’re feeling empty, and soon enough when they become accustomed to the emptiness (they are mistaking for peace), they will recognise the emptiness for what it is, a place needing to be filled (as it is emptiness), completely unaware that it is a place needing to be healed and that being how it is filled (with light and goodness).
In their unawareness and trying to fill the emptiness, they’ll drink alcohol a bit more, and have more random sex, become an workaholic, have depression and anxiety, fill their lives with random people who don’t love them, the list goes on into exactly what the world has become as a whole, and that is because the world is completely void of God who is Truth, the only goodness, and the only light. Not to mention that all of these realities are happening while people have real-life trauma and pain that needs healing, and indeed, unhealed trauma is the inception of an empty life needing “filling”, though in truth, it needs healing.
The Importance of True Meditation
Instead of emptying an already empty vessel, meditation is filling ourselves with the Word of God, the Word of Truth and Light. The world prefers things to not be specific but for one to be ever searching and not finding a definite truth. Nothing is more of an illusion than the absence of a definite truth. So yes, the Word of God and only the Word of God is what people should be meditating on. Meditating meaning pondering, thinking of over and over again, contemplating, living inside of, and living out the Word of Truth, which is the Bible, authored by only the Holy Spirit.
Emptiness comes from being disconnected with a Maker we need to be connected to. It is this Maker who gave us breath and life, and so in having breath and living without Him, we are constantly starving and dying a slow miserable death forever. He is the only life and the only light, just like a plant needing light and water (to not die of thirst), we cannot survive without God, and God is His Word.
Will You Starve Your Soul and Spirit?
How long can we physically go without water and food before it kills us? Spiritually, if we go without the food that is the Word of God and His living waters, we die for all eternity by not being in His presence and home when we physically die and because we are a spirit, spiritual death is dying forever as a result of not knowing God’s Word (and living by it) which is the same as not knowing God Himself (and thus Him not welcoming us home to Him because we are not family or even a friend).
It’s plain and simple you see. We are in the eternal image of God in being spirits, we cannot truly die, but eternally being without God and His presence is being eternally in death and darkness, and that by God’s definition is death, for only He is life and light.
