Dope Tech Episode 2

<<@Flower9433 says : Getting oxygen and breathing deeply is healthy but subjecting ourselves to things not of God is dangerous!>> <<@TheBrettMizer says : I don't know I have a vast knowledge of metaphysics which is the study of beyond the physical there's a lot of research that meditation can also help with things like physical pain it can also be used to get rid of negative mindsets>> <<@jeanramirez6441 says : Mindful is very useful and it doesn’t contradict the Bible>> <<@sarahboudreault7779 says : What about guided imagery for anxiety that’s just like hearing about being on a beach or something?>> <<@crusher1980 says : When the Bible talks about meditating it isnt Occult meditating by emptying your mind, its meditating in the word of God. (Jos 1:8) This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success. Please watch "The Third Adam" which is a 4 part series by Spencer Smith, God Bless.>> <<@GoyimFlatEarther says : New age meditation has nothing to do with Buddhist meditation. Buddhism is about trying to overcome the ego and let go of attachments freeing oneself from the cycle of Samsara (reincarnation). New age is a corruption and perversion of real eastern spiritual practices that are beneficial by focusing on self-love and narcissism. New age is instead of using meditation to improve concentration and awareness. Uses it to put one in an almost hypnotic state with certain music and drugs that goes against Buddhism meditation practices. I really wish people wouldn't lump in eastern Darmha with new-age nonsense.>> <<@rustytrubey6234 says : What about when someone leads you in a “relaxation” meditation? “Feel your feet flat on the floor, become aware of your eyes, shoulders, stomach, etc no judgement, just become aware of your breath. No thinking just awareness.”>> <<@robertgold6108 says : One can only meditate on God but concentrate on anything. Paramahansa Yogananda.>> <<@onzkicg says : meditate as long as you don’t levitate 😂 just kidding 😅>> <<@41orchard says : I did an guided meditation and it was very confusing to me... I was not doing it for any spiritual reason but I felt an incredible strange energy in my body and hands. It was like nothing I had ever experience and I wonder if this was just some innocent energy thing in the body or something much worse... its really challenged me to know what it was.>> <<@andrewwilson8776 says : I meditate to talk to Jesus and have a relationship with Him. I then listen to what he says and ignore my monkey brain and negative thoughts. I think of things I read in scripture as well to get more clarity. I really think a lot of Christian’s are overthinking things and making some crazy accusations on meditation. Yes I believe staying away from meditation that is focused on chakras and the universe and all that stuff but meditating and thinking of Jesus is a great way for me personally to talk to him. It brings me to joyful tears at times. I highly doubt Jesus would give you a hard time for meditating. He wants a relationship with you. He talks about that constantly in the Bible. He wants your heart, not your good works and rule following ways.>> <<@dmana3172 says : Meditation is wrong and will send you to hell. 😢>> <<@thomasvillani5616 says : Hey guys hope you all are feeling blessed today! I am very fresh in my spiritual journey, finally surrendering myself to Jesus after many years of back and fourth, but there is still so much about my new lifestyle as a Christian i feel very confused or un-clear about. Such as with meditation, which i used to do nightly and recently restarted doing for clarity of mind (literally nothing else but to better develop myself). I guess my question is, would i be in the wrong for meditating in this way?>> <<@tocarramyers8326 says : Am I the only one who watched this expecting an answer to the question 🤦🏽‍♀️>> <<@cassielitton753 says : What do you think about the Abide app. It has guided and visual meditation with Scriptures?>> <<@Shri_Hegde says : Bible printed after 1850s tells about meditation, before that there was no meditation in bible😄>> <<@andyderksen8455 says : Ack, the comments here. It's like the majority of you didn't even watch the video! 🤔🤔>> <<@ztukariansevuri says : Meditation was the best thing that I have ever done. Meditation made me "aware", and it was a rebirth. It is the most profound thing that has ever happened to me spiritually, and I never would have been able to fully comprehend what God is until this happened. Its not a "joy" fest where you get saved infront of your congregation, it is not emotional, it is something else entirely, and it is not being part of a special club. It is the most profound experience of ones life, and I very much doubt that it happens as often as the people in church would have you believe.>> <<@Archangel-Michael369 says : I Meditate On Yahusha's Name... Amein! 👽🙏🏼🕉️🇺🇸 (11-11)>> <<@adambailey8295 says : Mathew 6 22.... If the eye be single the whole body will fill with light.>> <<@1minute.everyday923 says : JESUS LOVES YOU ALL💗>> <<@cameron-zl9bl says : Will meditating to just clear my thoughts and it helps me control my emotions better would this be against God or no?>> <<@chicoandthem4n says : But from what i understand and heard from many is that God will never speak to you, or interact with you. He does this so nobody or entity or demon has the ability to mimick him and convince you that he is god. It makes sense if you think about it, lucifer and his fellow angels can lie to you and have (probably) the ability to interact with you, some examples are through mediums or physics, apparently they mimic your dead relatives and channel through the medium and convince you that you are talking to them. That is pure evil. Think about it, youre talking to a dead person, how is that possible? And God i think wouldnt want you going through pain of a dead loved one like that, and if heaven is truly sacred and a place only reached through hard work and faith it doesnt make sense some old lady would be able to connect with such a world,>> <<@RC_Zak says : You practice Christian meditation through scripture and certain scriptures you recite and go over and speak to god in a humble way a way you feel relaxed and you just go into that light and your holy spirit becomes stronger and the light grows more inside you. God has the water and light i.e LIFE and he pours that into your heart your holy spirit to make you Grow.>> <<@andrewwilson8776 says : What about just breathing exercises to relieve stress? This whole meditation situation has been causing me a lot of stress if it’s ok for us Christ followers to do. I’m not looking to meditate the way new agers and eastern religions do, it’s just to relieve headaches and a busy mind.>> <<@25-8 says : Amazing video>> <<@y-complex2379 says : Probably alexandra vibes>> <<@treytrev says : St Francis De Sales, St John of the cross and St. Teresa of Avila talks about contemplative prayer which is a wordless prayer where we feel the love of God from within. This is done in silence. I guess you’ll call this new age, too.>> <<@leigholding1397 says : I haven't been practicing Christianity for years cause all rituals, like catholic are seen as idolatry. So all that happens is go to church, hear a sermon, go home forget about it.. nothing gets written on the heart. I'm no way Wiccan or even want to but the fact they write in journal with Crystal's and mindfulness and live deliberately I can see how my walk would take off. Yet it's seen as abonarable snow man.>> <<@LabforJesus says : agree, Melindamercier6811 - there is an app someone showed me today "abide" that basically contains nice soft music or streams of water sounds...relaxation technique (we all need to relax our BODY sometimes) and in the voice over they use words like "take a centering breath" and "ask the Holy Spirit to show you your sin" - why must they try to "christianize" it! they go on and on in their blog to tell me it's not a sin to meditate...hmmm. they spend a lot of time telling me that in the blog. so truely it becomes a prayer if you ask God something right; we are to go to the Father through His Son right? Maybe I need to meditate on that? This is an age of "experiential christiondom" (I made that up) or at least that's what I'm calling all this stuff! Do not be swept away with all this stuff y'all. In Love, LAB>> <<@wenacastillo6641 says : Thanks for the enlightenment! ✨>> <<@juangabriellopez4475 says : Progressive Christians are still christians and they are christians not by name you arrogant, ignorant foolish, fake apologetic, deliberately twisting Christian false accuser like lucifer who speaks before and after becoming fallen angel and you did something like that of your own words and you may claim yourself a apologist but that's just by name, you foolish and false accuser, and they are not like that and you know it but I do agree about new agers who claimed to be christians but they are by name though but not progressive christians well except for some and don't believe it but not all of them though and they know about falsehood of Jesus and gospel you know and very aware and active to be vigilant of it, it is true that some progressive christians are not christians and doesn't believe biblicals and new age jesus but not all of them believe that crude etc,look I was wrong and right but there are some progressive christians aren't christians and they are christians by name but not all of them are and you so-called apologist should know better and keep that on mind and you should discuss, talk etc about some progressive christians that aren't christians and they are christians by name and unbiblical things etc but not all of them.>> <<@anjalisartistry870 says : Meditation is not sinful. Exercises and breathing exercises indeed helped me build a relationship with God, improved my flexibility, stopped my cough and cold. Meditating on other things like formulae of maths is not sinful .. We need discernment>> <<@lopezbill6132 says : This video doesn't do a great job at explaining meditation and enlightenment then it tries to mix it in with new age.>> <<@lopezbill6132 says : Meditation isn't new age. New age just came out lol meditation is an old practice that has been around forever!!!!!!!.>> <<@captainfantastic7843 says : I grew up in an old school Quaker church in a farming community. We had a silent meditation part of the Sunday service every Sunday. It did my young soul good.>> <<@samuelcraigdyer says : He says, “Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭46:10‬ ‭NIV‬‬>> <<@rogeliolopez4891 says : Personally, I use meditation to have some sort of understanding of how my mind works (emotions, thoughts, etc.) and realized how distracted I was. There were moments where I couldn´t stop thinking for even 10 seconds. All this led to me being anxious and in response declined my quality of life. Now, since I started to meditate I can now focus more and in return I can read the passages with more clarity and calmness.>> <<@wavemanj14 says : I just want to meditate for presence currently so I can meditate on God’s word all day like David. I’m so confused because people like david didn’t have instant gratification and bad dopamine 24/7. I’m truly lost on this>> <<@supernova6840 says : New age mixing with scriptures/ christianity ? is this new doctrine or new religion....smh If in doubt, keep things simple and meditate on God's word. Meditate on this verse if you need. Joshua 1:9 New International Version 9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”>> <<@jonathanthompson5900 says : How am I to improve my focus and concentration safely?>> <<@left0verture says : I’ve been looking for a Christian meditation podcast/channel/app/whatever for a long time. All I want is a ten minute (or so) calm reading of a short Scripture passage over a soothing soundtrack - flowing water, quiet music, whatever. I don’t want a sermon. I don’t want to hear somebody’s theology. A long time ago (back in the days of cassettes, if you remember those!) I had exactly what I’m after - it was a recording of a guy with a great, calming voice reading a verse from a Psalm, then a couple minutes of quiet environmental sounds, then another verse and more open space, and so on. Great voice, great audio quality, nothing but the Word. I can’t remember what the name of the program was, and I’ve been unable to find a good replacement in any digital form. Anybody got any suggestions?>> <<@NotChinmayi says : What about the actual scientifically accurate meditation?>> <<@idance0001 says : The big question is: why? Why do you need (Boeddhistic) meditation? Is God not enough? Don’t you find enough freedom and rest in Jesus? If I need to relax or calm down I pray and read in the Bible, like Psalms 23 and play some calm music.>> <<@rogertulk8607 says : Will hear you again about this. ♥>> <<@bc9629 says : Lock yourself in a room wanting to hear from the creator ! Now that's scary , because he will reveal himself to you, and ul be so small .. I had a dream and it was the most terrifying dream ever . An Angel of the lord made himself known to me . And he was terrifying ! The sound , the vibration it was too much for a mortal to bear. Since then I have a separate respect for the Bible. I don't want to be on the wrong side of it.>> <<@shubhamdingra2449 says : When Jesus said worship he meant meditation in solace. When he said i am son of God he meant his soul(atma) is son of the all father super conciousness(paramaatma) or God. Its very simple to understand when you are a hindu. So are all of us the children of God but Jesus realised through meditation and we are yet to realise that>> <<@Sam-dc9bg says : Jesus said “Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.” (Matthew 6:34) The meditations I do are simply mindfulness practice for being able to focus on the moment, vs the Western mindset which pushes us to always be stressing about tomorrow to the point of needing anti-depressants/anxiety meds. I don't do New Age stuff, chants, and if I see a Buddha I am out. Just self awareness, calm, and appreciation. The Western mindset is to treat symptoms with medication, but not examine the underlying causes of why the average Christians today is so depressed and without hope. Somehow everyone is ok with this.>> <<@mwol5473 says : Yoga is perfectly fine for Christains if you focus on the Son, the Father, and the Holy Spirit... Same thing with Yoga and Crystals and the Chakras! If you are focused on the Lord then all of it is perfectly fine! ✝️☦️🙏>> <<@ann_iyke19 says : I have a question please... can a pastor meditate through yoga or other ways than Bible?>>
