I am currently pondering Christianity's repression of meditation and does not seem able to find what I am looking for "out there" or inside my own meditation.
I was raised as a Catholic and so fear of the devil is strong in my family. They would consider stuff like the Ra material as coming directly from Satan, etc...
What I am looking for is the source of this fear. At first glance, the source should be obvious doesn't it? Negative teachings inserted into the biblical message or something like that. But really I feel there is something embedded much deeper at work here. Even today, having complete faith in the Law of One, I can from time to time come across information that jitters an inner fear that I am being led away from God by having faith in non-biblical materials.
The part that I believe any Christian would find hard to understand is why meditation is "evil"? To anyone I know, even my parents, meditation is seen to be a "good" thing. So I thought I would start my search into this subject by looking into the repression of meditation, seeing it as one of the most "successful" machination of the devil in modern times from the point of view of Catholicism. There are many articles about the "dangers" of meditation.
Anyway, it feels to me like there is an enormous spell or a very powerful magical working that is in effect. In the depths of my being, I know full well that the Ra material is the least distorted view of existence (that I am personally aware of) and yet this does not touch this fear that is embedded within me, it still comes from time to time. It makes no sense to me, neither of the logical nor of the intuitive kind.
If anyone would like to ponder this with me, I would be grateful.
