What I've been trying to figure out, TVB, is where the kingdom is. Meditation may very well bring forth God-consciousness, but Jesus instructs us to seek the kingdom first, which is exactly what I have been doing.
What you say, according to what Arkady has shown me, will not bring forth that kingdom. Meditation, day and night, without the loosing of sins by an apostle, as far as I have understood it, will not reveal His kingdom to us.
Having said that, I don't imply in the least that any form of meditation is useless, though let me ask you this: what exactly does meditation mean to you?
I personally know of three definitions - or at least three different outlooks:
1.) To "be still."
2.) To utter words to one's own self.
3.) To think.
Which method(s) is it that you're referring to?
Also, does anyone know which method(s) the Assyrian church adheres to?
