Meditation Programs The Mind To Seek Sprituality (Good) And Reject Materialsm (Evil)

Materialism is a worldview that places great importance on material possessions, wealth, and external achievements. It is a philosophy that encourages us to look outward for happiness and fulfillment, believing that our value and worth as individuals are tied to the things we own and the status we hold in society.

On the other hand, meditation is a practice that encourages us to look inward for wisdom, peace, and contentment. It is a technique that helps us to cultivate a deeper understanding of ourselves and the world around us, without being swayed by external influences.

The Bible teaches us that the kingdom of heaven is within us. In Luke 17:21, Jesus says, "The kingdom of God is not coming with things that can be observed, nor will they say, 'Look, here it is!' or 'There it is!' For, in fact, the kingdom of God is within you." This verse highlights the importance of looking inward for spiritual fulfillment and recognizing that material possessions and external achievements are not the ultimate source of happiness and fulfillment.

The KJV Bible verse about being still and knowing God is found in Psalm 46:10, which says: "Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth." This verse emphasizes the importance of quieting our minds and being still in meditation in order to connect with God and experience his presence. It reminds us that God is present in all things and that we can come to know him better by cultivating a sense of inner stillness and receptivity. When we meditate and chant OM we prepare the Temple to receive Jesus (The Sun) through his angels (angels of sunlight).

The practice of meditation can help us to achieve this stillness and create space for God to speak to us. By focusing our attention on our breath or a mantra, we can quiet the mental chatter that often distracts us from our connection with God. We can come to experience a sense of peace and stillness that allows us to feel the presence of God in our lives. 

Through this practice, we can deepen our relationship with God and come to know him better. We can come to understand that his love and grace are always available to us, and that by being still and opening ourselves to his presence, we can experience the fullness of his blessings in our lives.

When we are caught up in materialism, we are constantly seeking external validation and affirmation. We look to our possessions, our jobs, our social status, and our achievements to define our worth and value as individuals. This constant striving for more can lead to a sense of emptiness and dissatisfaction, as we realize that no matter how much we acquire or achieve, it will never be enough.

In contrast, meditation encourages us to cultivate a sense of inner peace and contentment that does not depend on external circumstances. By looking inward and focusing on our own thoughts, emotions, and experiences, we can gain a deeper understanding of ourselves and the world around us. We can find a sense of purpose and meaning that is not tied to material possessions or external achievements.

Moreover, the practice of meditation can help us to develop a deeper connection with God and our spiritual nature. By quieting our minds and opening our hearts, we can create space for the divine to enter our lives and guide us on our path. We can come to realize that our true value and worth as individuals come not from what we own or achieve, but from the love and grace of God that dwells within us.

The practice of daily meditation can help us to break free from the cycle of materialistic desire and find joy in the present moment. By looking inward and cultivating a sense of inner peace and contentment, we can develop a deeper understanding of ourselves and the world around us. We can come to realize that the kingdom of heaven is within us, and that our true happiness and fulfillment come not from material possessions, but from the love and grace of God that dwells within us.

Heaven Is Right Here, Right Now

The idea that the kingdom of heaven is not just a place we go when we die, but rather a state of being that we can access while alive through meditation, is a powerful one that has been gaining popularity in recent years. This concept is rooted in the idea that God is not just a distant deity that we can only encounter after death, but a living, active force that is present within us and around us at all times.

One Bible verse that supports this idea is Matthew 22:32, which states, "I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living." This verse highlights the fact that God is not a distant, unknowable entity that only exists in the afterlife. Rather, God is a living God who is present and active in the world today.

Other Bible verses also support the idea of a living God who is present and active in our lives. For example, Psalm 139:7-10 states, "Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there. If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast."

This passage emphasizes the idea that we can meet God at sunrise and sunset and is present everywhere, and that we cannot escape his presence no matter where we go. This suggests that we can access the kingdom of heaven and connect with God even while we are alive, if we are willing to open ourselves up to his presence and guidance through twice-daily meditation.

Another verse that supports the idea of a living God is 1 Corinthians 3:16, which states, "Do you not know that you are God's temple and that God's Spirit dwells in you?" This passage suggests that we are not just passive recipients of God's grace and love, but active participants in a relationship with a living God who dwells within us.

In conclusion, the idea that the kingdom of heaven is not a place we go when we die, but a state of being that we can access while alive through meditation, is a powerful one that is supported by several Bible verses if interpreted allegorically. These verses suggest that God is not a distant deity, but a living, active force (THE SUN) in our lives constantly. 

Chapter 3 Satan and Saturn

On a sunny afternoon when young Michael first began to question his beliefs about Jesus. As he lay on a blanket in the park, staring up at the blue sky, he couldn't help but notice the bright, warm presence of the sun. As he basked in its rays, he began to wonder if perhaps this great, powerful force was actually the Jesus he had heard about in church.

Intrigued by this idea, Michael began to do some research. He read everything he could find about the sun and its role in the world, and he was amazed by the many ways in which it touched every aspect of life on earth. He learned about its power to sustain and nourish all living things, and he was struck by the fact that it was always present, always shining, always giving.

As Michael delved deeper into his research, he found more and more evidence that seemed to support his theory. He read about the ancient civilizations that worshipped the sun as a deity, and he learned about the various myths and legends that had been created around it. He even found references to Jesus being associated with the sun in some early Christian texts.

But as he delved deeper, Michael also began to uncover evidence that challenged his belief in a physical Jesus. He found scholarly articles and historical records that suggested that the stories of Jesus' life and teachings had been heavily influenced by earlier myths and religions. He learned about the many contradictions and inconsistencies in the accounts of Jesus' life that had been passed down through the ages.

Despite these challenges, Michael remained convinced that there was something profound and meaningful about the idea of Jesus as the sun. He believed that this symbol represented the life-giving, sustaining, and loving presence of the divine, and that it was a powerful force for good in the world.

But as he considered this idea further, Michael also began to wonder about the role of Satan in this cosmic narrative. If Jesus was the sun, then perhaps Satan could be represented by the planet Saturn, the opposite of the sun in many ways. Saturn was often associated with darkness and cold, while the sun was a source of light and warmth. Michael began to wonder if this cosmic opposition could be seen as a metaphor for the eternal struggle between good and evil.

So with a sense of excitement and purpose, Michael set out to share his discovery with the world. He wrote articles and gave talks, sharing his research and explaining his belief that Jesus was the sun and Satan was the planet Saturn. Some people were skeptical at first, but as more and more people came to understand and embrace his theory, Michael knew that he was making a difference.

And as he basked in the warm, loving presence of the sun, he knew that he had found his true calling: to spread the light of Jesus to all those who sought it, and to shed light on the darkness of Satan

Book Two - God is Light

The young man sat on the edge of his bed. He had been meditating and chanting Om quietly and consistently for the last 40 minutes. He had always been a devout Christian, but lately he had been feeling disillusioned with his faith. He had always believed that god was a powerful being, but now he was starting to question whether god was real at all. As he sat there, lost in meditation, a sudden burst of light filled his mind. It was so bright that he had to shield his eyes with his hand but his arms would not move. Within the light, he saw that a figure was standing in front of him.

"Who are you?" the young man asked, his voice trembling with fear.

"I am the light of the world," the figure said, its voice calm and soothing. "I am God."

The young man was shocked. He had always thought of god as an abstract concept, not as an actual being. But here was god, standing right in front of him.

"How can you be God?" the young man asked. "I've always been taught that god is a spirit, not a physical being."

"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God," the figure said, quoting the Bible. "The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth."

The young man's mind was racing. He had always known the Bible verses, but he had never truly understood them. Now, as he looked at the figure in front of him, he realized that god was not just a spirit, but also a physical presence.

"God is light," the figure said, its voice gentle but firm. "In him there is no darkness at all. If we claim to have fellowship with him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live out the truth. But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin."

The young man was filled with awe and wonder. He had always known that god was powerful and loving, but he had never understood just how real and present god was in his life. He felt a sense of peace and joy that he had never experienced before, and he knew that he would never doubt god again. 

The young man looked up at the figure in amazement. "Is the light that you are emitting the same light that comes from the sun?" he asked.

"Yes," the figure said, nodding its head. “I am God and God is Light. The light of the sun never goes out, and there is no darkness at all in it. It is the light that illuminates the world and gives life to all things. The light of the sun is the only light that is never extinguished. 

The young man felt a sense of awe as he realized the power and majesty of god. He had always known that god was the creator of all things, but he had never truly understood the magnitude of god's presence and power.

"Thank you for showing me the truth," the young man said, tears of joy streaming down his face. "I will never doubt God again."

"It is my pleasure," the figure said, smiling. "Remember, God is light, and in him there is no darkness at all. Walk in the light, and you will never be lost in the darkness. Meditate daily at sunrise and sunset."

Book One - The Risen Sun of God

In a small village nestled in the rolling hills of the countryside, there lived a young man named Daniel. Daniel was a curious and thoughtful person, and he spent much of his time exploring the natural world around him. He loved to roam the forests and fields, marveling at the beauty and wonder of the plants and animals that lived there. Daniel had been raised in the Catholic Church from a young age. He attended Sunday mass with his family every week, and was even an altar boy for a time. As he grew older, Daniel began to take his faith seriously, studying the Bible and praying regularly. As he entered his teenage years, Daniel began to feel disillusioned with the Church. He found himself questioning some of the teachings and practices of the Church, and he felt that many of the people he encountered in the Church were more concerned with following rules and traditions than with truly living a faithful life. Daniel longed to lead a deeply spiritual life.

The spiritual turning point for Daniel came when he attended a youth retreat with other members of his parish. The retreat was meant to be a time of spiritual reflection and growth, but Daniel found it to be overly structured and shallow. He felt like the leaders of the retreat were more interested in making the attendees follow a rigid schedule than in helping them connect with God. As a result of his experiences at the retreat, Daniel started to distance himself from the Church. He stopped attending mass regularly, and he stopped participating in Church activities. He still believed in God, but he felt like the Church was not the right place for him. Over time, Daniel's disillusionment with the Church grew. He started to read books and articles about other religious traditions and philosophies, and he found himself drawn to some of the more liberal and progressive ideas that he encountered. He also started to explore spiritual practices from other traditions, such as meditation and yoga, which he found to be deeply fulfilling. Eventually, Daniel decided to leave the Catholic Church altogether. He didn't want to completely reject his Catholic upbringing, but he felt like he needed to find a spiritual path that was more in line with his own beliefs and values which centered more on the scientific. He continued to explore different spiritual traditions, and eventually he found one that resonated with him and felt like a true fit. 

Daniel was reading the Bible and it dawned on him that the stories didn’t make sense when taken in a literal context. One day, Daniel rose up early and was about to wander through the forest. He looked through his window and saw that it was still dark outside. He then realized that any moment the sun would rise. After a while the golden light of the sunrise peaked over the horizon and immediately filled him with a sense of peace and calm, and he felt drawn to sit and meditate. As he sat in meditation, he heard a voice speaking to him. "Daniel, my son," the voice said, "I am the true God, and I will speak to you through the photons of the rising sun. Each day I will meet you here and speak with you."

Daniel was stunned by what he was hearing as the voice was not human but instead a thought in his mind. He had never believed in the existence of God, but the voice was so real and powerful that he could not deny its presence. As he listened to the voice, Daniel understood that the sunrise was a indeed the divine spirit of God. The golden light represented the power and majesty of the true God, and those in meditation were like the sun, in need of nourishment to sustain them on their journey. The "daily bread" mentioned in the voice's message referred to a time of the day when those in meditation could be nourished and sustained, rather than a physical object. Eating the daily bread meant meditating at sunrise and eating (receiving ) the word of God.

Furthermore, Daniel realized that the "son of God" mentioned in religious texts was not meant to mean a physical being, but was in fact the sun itself. The "risen son of God" was nothing more than the rising sun, a natural phenomenon that that watched over the whole earth and delivered the message of the true God.  Daniel then understood that the "angels" mentioned in religious texts were actually angles of sunlight at sunrise that delivered God’s message through its photons and unlocked our DNA, visible during the first two hours of the day.

 Daniel realized that the "son of God" mentioned in religious texts was not a spiritual being, but was in fact the sun itself. The "risen son of God" was nothing more than the rising sun, a natural phenomenon that is the power and majesty of the true God. Nothing could live without the sun. The sun is truly the giver of life and all life on earth depended on it. He then remembered Psalm 19 and its true meaning became clear.  “The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork. Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge. There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard. Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun, Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race. His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.”

This revelation filled Daniel with a sense of awe and wonder. He had always believed in the existence of God, but he had never considered the sun, not a man hanging on a cross, was the real son (sun) of God. The idea that the sun itself was the son of God, and that its rising was a divine, was both profound and deeply moving to him. The truth was right in his face every day.

As he continued to meditate, Daniel began to acknowledge the power of the sun. He saw that it was a source of life and light, nourishing the earth and all its inhabitants. He saw that it was a symbol of the divine, a reminder of the power and majesty of the true God.

And as he meditated for about half an hour, softly chanted OM, Daniel began to feel a sense of connection to the sun. He felt its warmth and light on his skin, and he felt its energy coursing through his veins. He felt as though he was becoming one with the sun, and with the divine. In that moment, Daniel realized that the path to enlightenment lay not in the pursuit of material possessions or worldly power, but in the simple act of being present in the moment, and in the recognition of the divine in all things. From that day forward Daniel vowed to rise up early and to eat God’s daily bread. A new day had dawned and the Forrest would echo with laughter.

The Bible as Allegory

The Bible is a sacred text in many religious traditions, including Judaism and Christianity. It is considered by many to be the word of God, and is often taken literally by believers. However, there is also a tradition of interpreting the Bible allegorically, which involves looking beyond the literal meaning of the text and interpreting it as a symbolic representation of deeper truths. The interpretation of the Bible as allegorical rather than literal is a common perspective among many religious scholars and theologians. This interpretation is based on the idea that the stories and teachings found in the Bible are meant to be understood on a symbolic or metaphorical level, rather than as a literal account of historical events. This perspective allows for a more flexible and open-ended approach to interpreting the Bible, and can provide a deeper understanding of its underlying meanings and messages.

One of the key arguments for interpreting the Bible allegorically is that it contains many passages that are difficult to understand or reconcile with modern scientific knowledge. For example, the creation story in Genesis describes the earth being created in six days, while scientific evidence suggests that the earth is much older. This has led some theologians to argue that the six days in the creation story should be understood symbolically, rather than literally.

Another argument for interpreting the Bible allegorically is that many of its passages are written in figurative language, such as parables and metaphors. For instance, Jesus often used parables to teach lessons, such as the parable of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:30-37). In this parable, Jesus tells the story of a man who is robbed and left for dead on the side of the road. A priest and a Levite pass by without helping, but a Samaritan, a member of a group that was considered to be outcasts by the Jews, stops to help the man. The parable is meant to teach the importance of showing compassion to others, even to those who are different from us.

Additionally, the Bible contains many passages that are open to multiple interpretations. For example, the book of Revelation is filled with vivid imagery, including beasts, dragons, and plagues. Some people interpret this literally, as a prophecy of the end of the world, while others see it as a symbolic representation of the struggles and triumphs of the Christian community.

Another reason to interpret the Bible allegorically is that many of its stories and passages were written in a particular historical context, and may not be applicable to our modern world. For example, the Old Testament contains many laws and commandments that were specific to the ancient Israelite community, such as the prohibition on eating pork (Leviticus 11:7) or wearing clothes made from two different types of fabric (Leviticus 19:19). These laws may not have the same relevance to us today, and may be better understood as symbolic expressions of a particular way of life, rather than as universal rules that must be followed.

Overall, the Bible is a complex and multifaceted text that can be interpreted in many different ways. While some people may choose to take it literally, others may find more meaning in interpreting it allegorically, looking beyond the surface level of the text to uncover deeper truths and lessons. I think the Bible should be interpreted within the context of meditation and doing so offers a far deeper truth than trying to bend and hammers the words into a literal story.

Take the word “pitch” for example. The word pitch is used an abnormally high number of times starting with the construction of Noah’s Ark. The word "pitch" can refer to a number of different things, depending on the context. Here are a few common definitions of the word "pitch":

1. In chemistry, pitch is a term used to refer to a type of sticky, black substance, often made from tar or resin. This is the literal and incorrect interpretation of the word as in the story of Noah’s Ark god instructs Noah to seal the ark with pitch. 

1. In music, pitch refers to the highness or lowness of a sound. High pitch sounds have a higher frequency than low pitch sounds. This is the definition of pitch I think the author intended and refers to chanting OM during meditation.

The word "pitch" has a wide range of meanings and can be used in many different contexts. In this blog I use the secondary and hidden meanings of certain words apply more to the context of meditation than any other.

Meditation Kills The Desire For Material Possessions

 When you meditate you are sitting and waiting. Waiting patiently for the word of God. Waiting for God to speak to you. God’s message prepares your mind to be less materialistic. Meditation kills your desire for material possessions. When you meditate you will get contentment and happiness from things in life that are not material.
