Christian Meditation & Mysticism

What’s Happening? Our soul’s awareness is being transferred by our spirit in cooperation with God’s Spirit from what is going on in the body (and through the body, our natural circumstances) and in the soul realm (what’s taking up the attention of our mind, will and emotions). In this way, He gives His life to us and lives His life through us, often without our even knowing it (He will often bypass our mind, will and emotions and directly impact both our personal circumstances and the natural realm, including time). Meditation & Mysticism There are many similarities between waiting on the Lord and Eastern meditation techniques. The reason is that whether you are a believer or not, your soul and body function the same way. For Christians, the purpose of quieting the soul and body is to become available to, receive life from and give up control to the Holy Spirit. For the unbeliever, the purpose is to become available to, receive life from and give up control to something other than the Holy Spirit. That “other” is defined in numerous ways depending on your beliefs. We don’t need to be concerned about what others may be focusing on; the Lord is strong enough to make Himself known to us on His terms, and provide whatever guidance, assurance and protection we may need as we follow on to know Him. Results As you develop the ability and practice, you will begin to notice that the Lord will draw your attention to Him, inwardly and/or outwardly, at various times during your routine daily activities. His eventual goal is that our entire life be lived with an awareness of what is going on in the supernatural and spiritual realms, because the Lord has quickened our senses to be able to perceive what He reveals. Of course, He is simultaneously bringing us into wholeness by exposing our flesh and healing our wounds.
