Orthodoxy Transforming Spirituality

So many people have the wrong idea about meditation. They imagine it will lead to bliss. They concoct in their mind it will alter their consciousness and the will emerge after a while looking and talking like Yoda from Star Wars. They imagine that meditation will lead to otherworldly connections with the “other” part of the universe.

But, let’s take a good solid look at what meditation is. First, meditating comes from a Latin word that means to “chew the cud”. In other words, meditating means to mull over something you have learned and mull it over and over until you make it a part of who you are. Meditation has to do with reprogramming your own mind to think different thoughts based on the new presuppositions you are learning on the spiritual path.

Meditation is like physical therapy for the mental world. In physical therapy, we learn to use a limb that has been damaged. In meditation, we learn to repair and relearn to use a part of us that was taught incorrectly about the universe. Meditation, reprogramming how with think by reflex is not something can do for you.
