Presenting the p _ _ Hi|| Block Parents Meditation affords rest and silence over 250 members By E. L. Anderson. Pastor Richmond Hill Seventh-Day Adventist Church For at least 4,000 years man has been searching for serenity through meditation. In the 1970’s a surge of interest in a dozen or more varieties of meditation has swept the western world. How can the Christian best relate to the current blend of old and new? Debra Coles was the recipient of the Ina Pocknell Award last week, a certificate and $300 cash prize awarded for outstanding service by a member of the York Central Hospital's Junior Auxiliary. Presenting the Although Maharishi Mahesh Yogi’s populist movement in Transcendental Meditation has been taking the country by storm in the 70’s, the Society of Friends dates its practice to George Fox’s insight in 1646, and the Zen enthusiast dates his to Bohidharma who lived 1,400 years ago. The Old Testament records Isaac. the son of Abraham practicing some form of meditation as early as the 19th century 8.0 (see Genesis 24:63). Around for centuries If various forms of meditation have not only been around for centuries and have spanned vastly difâ€" ferent cultures, why the sudden interest in it today? One plausible answer is the meditation affords a short space of rest and silence in a society filled with tension and noise. Rhythmic relaxation promises to renew the exhausted body and spirit. Dr. Herbert Benson of the Harvard Medical School in his book “The Relaxation Response" documents lowered blood pressure, lowered metabolic rates, decreased levels of blood lactate, and decreased drug use in those who meditate. No one today denies the physical benefits of regular meditation but what about its spiritual effects? Whatever technique is used to achieve this personal emptying, it waves a red flag in front of Biblical Christians. Jesus warned against attempting spiritual growth merely by emptying. Meditation forms derived from non-Christian cultures have attempted to de-religionize them by removing many of the specific trappings of eastern cultures. Nevertheless, transcendental meditation etc‘ assume a view of reality that is at odds with Biblical religion. Reality perceived For example, practitioners of most forms of eastern meditation are taught that reality is truly perceived when the human soul is freed from the body, its material prison. A blending into oneness of existence is stressed and the things that society strives for are childish. Further,' he is taught to empty himself of his own desires and feelings. His cryptic parable of the displaced demon (Matthew 12:43-45; Luke 11:24-26) certainly implies that an evil habit cannot be conquered simply through negatives.

The Bible speaks of the body as being the temple which is not to be defiled but used to glorify God (1 Corinthians 3: 16, 17; 6:20, 11 Cor. 6:16). The Bible supports human industriousness and condemns only that which violates the law of love for humans and for God. And the Biblical God is intensely personal. 148 Ihornndge Du Thomhlll MlnIslev Rev. D VanderBoom M In _ 889-5225 SUNDAY, NOVEMBER-21. 1976 Semce at 10 30 a m. and 5.00 W“ 9:45 am.
