Christian vs. Eastern Meditation
I came across this today and it inspired me to delve deeper into something I’ve heard, but not really looked at closely before. I read some articles, but decided the graphic below summed up the main points they covered better than I could. The sites where I got the quotation and the graphic are linked below.
The job of Medieval monks, “more than anything else, was to focus on divine communication: to read, to pray and sing, and to work to understand God, in order to improve the health of their souls and the souls of the people who supported them. For these monks, the meditating mind wasn’t supposed to be at ease. It was supposed to be energised.
“Their favourite words for describing concentration stemmed from the Latin tenere, to hold tight to something. The ideal was a mens intentus, a mind that was always and actively reaching out to its target. And doing that successfully meant taking the weaknesses of their bodies and brains seriously, and to work hard at making them behave.”

Remember President “Gimme a Trillion Bucks and I’ll Save and Create Jobs” OBAMA? His PROGRESSIVE plan — increasing taxes and regulations – cost us so many jobs that, in his second term, Obama sneered at Trump’s campaign promise to bring them back.
By going the CONSERVATIVE route – cutting taxes and regulations – we now have the lowest unemployment in 50 years. A new CNN Poll conducted shows Trump approval on the economy at a new high of 56%. Continue reading
