It's weird that the grey matter of the brain decreases if you are without external stimuli for a long time, but then meditation which is forcing yourself to be without external stimuli is somehow benefitial?

try it out for a month anon. it won't hurt to spend 15 minutes every day where all you do is focus on your breathing,

[Anonymous No.9873419]

it opens your mind up to the possession of demons. people who promote it either don't do it or are completely controlled by the demons. this is how most discoveries in science were made before the modern introduction of potent psychedelic pharmaceutical drugs which greatly accelerate the meditative process.

it's very simple to test my claim, simply ingest a large dose of dmt. you will experience an out of context "trip" to another physical dimension where creatures who are not expecting you to suddenly appear there begin manipulating you. if you hold a position of power and authority on earth they will entice you to stay and beg for you to return. if you are a low or unimportant person they will torture you and scare you into never coming back.

you can understand it from a very logical position. most of space is empty and most planets are dead and toxic. the distances are too great to traverse conventionally, but something links living things beyond our regular understanding of spacetime. that makes life anywhere it occurs in the universe an oasis, and gives the ability of intelligent life to travel from life to life. taking these bold assertions on face value is a leap of faith, but not a great one. living things eat other living things and there are hierarchies of intelligence and consumption.

meditation or introspection or hapless consumption of psychoactive substances allows you to tunnel to another living place, probably the closest one. there more advanced or less advanced creatures see an opportunity to feed themselves or travel back with you escaping whatever purgatory type environment their planet has become due to poor management of natural resources and the inability to find new habitation.

again, you can verify this first hand and it has been reported and repeated numerous times by others who have gone through the experience.

I agree with you anon, meditation and lucid dreaming are demon possession. The world fell into sin and evil at the garden of evil, and god is no longer in control of the world, the god of our earth is Satan. In order to facilitate discoveries in science and math, you must allow demon possession.

I did lucid dreaming and meditiation for awhile. When I started praying and got religious again I got serious sleep paralysis. Even paralysis when meditating. Hypnagognic and Hypnopompnic hallucinations are from demons. Anyone who truly got deep into meditation then came to god will tell you the same.

It is sad that so few people know this.

Not all meditation is zazen or beta tier Theravada anon. The Mahayana schools demand extremely intensive mental exercise, in the form of visualizations. The most common school in China, for instance, requires you to generate a "Pure Land" in your mind, complete to the individual leaves of trees and glittering of dew in that place. The Tibetans go even further, by creating their own ideal body to occupy during sleep, the illusory body, and ideal waifu, the Vajrayogini, to copulate with at the complete stage of practice.

Don't listen to these posters! There's nothing demonic about meditation of any kind. Many variations of Padmasambhava's expert techniques exist in Orthodox and Roman Catholic Christianity, without contradiction of their scriptures. Google hesychasm if you doubt it.

The only book you need to this effect is Tantric Grounds and Paths by Geshe Kelsang Gyatso. It's the most direct, crisp and orderly manual of soteriological praxis you fill find anywhere.
