The word, meditate, as it is used in the Bible, means to think or to pray. It is the opposite of the mind blanking techniques of the cults such as the Emerging/Emergent "church." These mindless meditation techniques are New Age, Hindu, and Buddist methods. Mindlessly repeating "Jesus" over and over will not put you in touch with the Spirit of God, but it will put you in touch with spirits. When you seek the real Jesus, you must do it sincerely. He really does exist. You must believe that. He really does reward those who diligently seek Him. You must believe that.
