Doc Says Meditation May Be Hazardous to Mind, Body, Spirit
==>Anyone who believes in "evil spirits" cannot be taken seriously.
What about people who have been affected by PRAYER, believed
they heard the voice of "God", and killed their children because "God"
told them to do it? -- L.
When a person meditates on the Word of God they think about what God
has said and how it applies to them. They do not empty their minds of
all rational thought and do the first thing that pops in there head
brought about by demonic spirits. God is often the fall guy for other
people rebellious decissions and the works of the devil but strange as
it seems, these fools are so deceived that they do not realise where
this poison eminates from and continue to gravitate towards more evil
and eventually hell itself.
1 John 4:1-6 (NRSV)
4 Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see
whether they are from God; for many false prophets have gone out into
the world. 2 By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that
confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, 3 and
every spirit that does not confess Jesusa is not from God. And this is
the spirit of the antichrist, of which you have heard that it is
coming; and now it is already in the world. 4 Little children, you are
from God, and have conquered them; for the one who is in you is
greater than the one who is in the world. 5 They are from the world;
therefore what they say is from the world, and the world listens to
them. 6 We are from God. Whoever knows God listens to us, and whoever
is not from God does not listen to us. From this we know the spirit of
truth and the spirit of error.

(AgapePress) - A physician and co-author of the book Alternative
Medicine: The Christian Handbook (Zondervan, 2001) says a study about
transcendental meditation, or TM, leaves out some very important facts
about the dangers of the popular New Age practice.
In a recent article from the Washington Post, TM is hailed in a study
as a way to make the human brain more highly developed and
disciplined. But author, physician and nationally syndicated TV show
host Dr. Walt Larimore says the article, like so many others on TM,
fails to tell readers about the downside of this activity.
For example, Larimore says the report failed to describe the potential
emotional damage that has been shown to be associated with the
practice of TM. "One study showed that almost half of those that were
active as transcendental meditation trainers reported episodes of
anxiety, depression, and confusion," he notes, "while some of them
have frustration, mental and physical tension -- and this was over
half of the trainers. It was really dramatically negative."
Also, the author notes, other studies have documented adverse effects
to transcendental meditation that were clinically severe, such as
"psychiatric hospitalizations and attempted suicides." But of even
greater concern, he says, are the spiritual implications of TM, such
as involvement with so-called "spirit guides," which may be demonic in
nature. He says Christians should be wary of any type of alternative
therapy that puts them in contact with the spirit world.
Larimore says TM is dangerous because the mind is opened up and left
vulnerable to evil spirits. He warns that, although information from
proponents tends to be deceptively positive, the practice of TM is
emotionally, psychologically, and spiritually risky.

Fill your mind with God and His Word and leave as little room as
possible for the kingdom of Satan(evil spirits,etc).
Matthew 12:43-45 (NCV)
43 "When an evil spirit comes out of a person, it travels through dry
places, looking for a place to rest, but it doesn't find it. 44 So the
spirit says, ‘I will go back to the house I left.' When the spirit
comes back, it finds the house still empty, swept clean, and made
neat. 45 Then the evil spirit goes out and brings seven other spirits
even more evil than it is, and they go in and live there. So the
person has even more trouble than before. It is the same way with the
evil people who live today."
