Spiritual Battles

Greetings, friends. In a recent post I argued that meditation is sinful because it rejects God as doer in favour of a personal experience of the divine. However, I would like to clarify a few things:

1) There’s nothing wrong with wanting to be happy. It’s part of human nature.

2) Meditation can have a stabilising effect. It’s not all about enlightenment.

3) It’s not a choice. God is in control of absolutely everything we ever experience.

I hope this helps.
