For several years now the Holy Spirit has taken me to different cultures showing how he was working through them. One time I remember being taken to a Buddhist temple. In one dream I looked upon a Temple that was not really a physical Temple but a spiritual one. It was like the body of a Buddhist and I saw that they had special ways of anointing the body, even the base of the Temple to avoid falling into hell. I believe it was symbolic of the system of Buddhist meditation that keeps the mind from drifting off into hellish realms of thought. This was all very symbolic. I don’t know too much about Buddhism but I do know that they work with their physical body during their meditations. Now the Christian tradition says that the body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, but most Christians are constantly praying about things. I think God was showing me something in all the dreams about the way other cultures practice their spirituality. It may be that by meditating with the body treating it as a Temple is a better way to go as opposed to constantly bringing a list of prayer requests to God. Maybe that type of attachment is our problem as Christians. I know that Buddhists have a philosophy of living in the present moment and that could be another key that we are neglecting. I think that the Christian church has brought a lot of hell on itself by living outside the present moment myself included and pursuing things outside their own heart. The Bible talks about the heart and I think the Buddhists have meditations for that. Why can’t we come up with something similar? Anyway this is all part of the spiritual journey where the Holy Spirit has been pointing out to me some things that other religions and cultures do better than us. This type of comparison is common both in the new and old testament. If you have a problem with it go through the Bible and see where the Holy Spirit shows comparisons between different religions and cultures. In these situations in the Bible it is made clear that God doesn’t always take sides.

So I had this dream where I was in a forest and I saw the huge trees that reached up into the sky. The trees were filled with giant sized fruit. I climbed up the tree into the clouds. Somewhere on top there was a hut on top of the clouds. I entered into the hut and it was a little bit dark so that it was hard to see. I saw a figure within the hut and I was a little frightened so I prayed to God that there would be light in the hut so that I could see. I did this because I knew that being there was important and that I needed to know what was really going on. With those prayers a light broke through the hut from the ceiling and then it was full light.

Then when I could see more clearly the figure was a man wearing an elephant mask, as the light illuminated the whole hut all the fear was gone and I knew that there was nothing wrong there. I knew that the elephant mask was just part of the man’s tradition.

So my interpretation is that between the large trees, the fruit and being in the clouds meant that the Holy Spirit wanted me to know that the yogi has been misrepresented because everything I saw was good and godly and of a high spiritual quality. I believe God wanted me to rid myself of all the fears and slander I’ve heard coming from the church because certain powerful individuals in high places of authority choose to call everything they don’t understand evil and demonic. The Bible tells us not to judge that which we do not understand. Read the book of Jude. This dream is just one in a series where the Holy Spirit took me to other religions and cultures to shed the truth that God speaks to all those that are ready to listen. This means that there are good spiritual traditions all over the world that we have mislabeled in our ignorance and our desire to be number one. I’m speaking for the misguided Christians that call everything evil. Over several years I’ve had repeated dreams that there were certain yogi out there whose meditation practices and knowledge were very advanced.

This dream has to do with a group of people that got together and they wanted to build a motorcycle. I touched their heads which I guess was a symbolic gesture of them contributing their collective knowledge and the spirit spun this collective knowledge around and created a motorcycle out of it which must have represented a Ministry vehicle.  So when this meant was that the spirit took all this knowledge and adjusted it and orchestrated it to build something either the combined abilities of the people who contributed.

This is why it just so important to get together with a group of people that have the same goals, if not there will be a lot of tension over how this collective knowledge is used. If people are divided now also fight over what is produced from their collective knowledge, this is why there are so many church splits. In the dream I received this everything seemed to work out for the good but collective knowledge that takes on a life of its own can also lead to bad situations and strongholds as well as good ones. It is very important to be with the right people so that the collective knowledge leads you to salvation and not destruction.

I really think that one of the best benefits of guided meditation is the controlled environment.  When done properly these meditations can do a really nice job in bridging the gap and balancing your work.  You can create a very good environment that incorporates the freedom and fluidity of the prophetic spirit with the stability of Scripture.  So within the meditation you can in fact design a strong foundation with the Scriptures that will launch you into the spirit from a secure place, from a stable place.  This is really good for those starting out and veterans alike because it can keep you from getting too wild and out of control.  The stability that the Scriptures provide in your meditation will help keep your mind out of darkness.  You also have the benefit of being able to do very specific Bible studies that you can use in your meditations as the foundation that can act as the launching pad to your prophetic rocket ship.  When used properly the light of the Word will guide you in your spiritual projections so that you enter into holy realms that are well governed and full of true information rather than chaotic realms that are filled with carnality and resistance. This is also a great way for prophets to fall in love with the Scriptures all over again so that they’re using their gift with the word. So when you’re creating your MP3 guided meditations you can combine Scriptures and prayers along with your personal experiences to help yourself along.

This meditation was designed to get past the recurring dreams that I was having about local churches.  These were more like roller coaster rides that I got stuck on.  It seems to me that somehow churches have some kind of spiritual gravitational pull that creates a situation where it’s hard for you to hear what God is saying to you.  There is this one church that I’ve had recurring dreams about for a while and I’ve been trying to break free of it.  At one time I remember having this dream where it was like a maze that just kept repeating itself.  You think you got out but then it would start all over again.  Not only that but as I prayed about it was made pretty clear to me that a lot of people were having the same problem with the same church.  I don’t know how all of this happens but I figure that it’s happened to a whole lot of people.  Here’s a meditation that I used to help deal with this problem.

The goal of the meditation was to hear what God was specifically saying to you and not about hearing about what was going on in the local church which is sometimes just like a merry-go-round.  So I try to find something that would be a good symbol to use that I could work with to access my own inheritance and my own and direction in life.  So I use the post office and it worked out pretty well.  In the post office you have your own P.O. Box and it’s secure plus it’s protected by the federal government.  The whole idea that it’s a real place and it’s principles are embedded deeply within your mind already making it a great symbol work with.  So this meditation was all about how you’re going to your own P.O. Box and you’re getting your own mail and you can read that mail in a secure environment.  Then in the meditation you or continually reaffirmed everything  is secure and that you have privacy and so forth.  I found out that this type of meditation was a very good start in the process of delivering myself from re-occurring local words and from the pull of the local church.  Of course it didn’t solve all the problems but it was a good start.  I found out things when I was to do in life that just wasn’t made clear before.  Going to school was one of them and so was politics amongst other things.

Also like to mention that I think this kind of thing happens when one you have this group of people in a church and they dedicated their whole lives to the church so they pray constantly that everybody gets involved in solving all the problems in their church.  So they revolve all their prayers around the church which creates a situation where people are almost forced to have visions and dreams about that church whether they want to or not.  Not only that but prayers like that seem to create an atmosphere where people feel the pain and agony that’s going on in a backslidden church.  Then there is that other group of people like me who are tired of seeing the same thing happen again and again and now they want out of that world where you’re forced to have dreams and visions about a certain church.  And what I mean is that people including myself want to enjoy God in their own life on a day-to-day basis without being a slave to a backslidden ministry.  I know I don’t want to be chained to a dead body and feel sick and wore out all the time. I should have some MP3s for this guided meditation available soon for download.

Here’s a really great example of why symbols are so alive and potent, the whole Bible is filled with symbols so why shouldn’t we use them.  Symbols are the way God communicates with us in visions and dreams.  If symbols are the way God shows us his character and his power then why shouldn’t we communicate the same way.  We’re supposed to be like him so why shouldn’t we communicate like Him.

Okay so here’s what happened.  I decided to put together a meditation on CD that I can play over and over again when I needed it.  It was made up of the sound of a lion growling that I got off of a sound effects CD.  So I had the lion roaring in the background while I talked about how the lion of Judah is my protector and defender and the whole meditation basically went something like that.

But here’s what happened.  I started attending a different church at the time and I wasn’t sure if that’s where I wanted to be.  Anyway I got a few warnings about it and that church gave me some bad dreams so I quit going.  So one Sunday morning I decided not to go and I slept in instead.  It was then that I started to get all these negative feelings.  Most people would call it some kind of spiritual attack.  Then I realized that the time it was happening it was about the same time that they prayed before Sunday service.  They must’ve been really praying some negative controlling prayers I would imagine.  So at that time I rolled over and turned on my CD player with the recording about how God is our lion protector and then I rolled over and back to bed.  So I floated in and out of sleep while the CD was on repeat.

It was at this time that I had this vision or dream that there was all this negativity attacking me and then there was a lion beside me in that lion swirled around me changing form as needed in order to guard me from all these attacks.  I can’t remember everything that he changed into but that it became a spiritual lion that could transform into anything he needed to get the job done.  Now on the MP3 that I may didn’t say anything about transforming lion I just talked about how God was our lion protector.  It was during the vision that the Holy Spirit working through the symbol of the lion took the symbol over.  How cool is that?  Actually I found it on a regular basis the Holy Spirit takes over, improves upon and enhances the symbols that I use in meditation.  Of course I can then take this newly found knowledge and apply it to future meditations.  This reminds me of a childhood dream I had about the Holy Spirit working through the power of creativity.  But that’s another story. I will try to get some mp3s of these ready for download on this site.

There is a lot of stuff to learn about and you will shortly find out that there is a lot of out there. It seems that meditation, prayers and techniques are numerous and you need to combine several to get the best results. The word talks about fasting combined with prayer and also spoke of making all kinds of different prayers in your intercession. You have to learn to relax too and meditate deeply also so that divine thoughts get separated from chaotic ones. You want the chaotic thoughts to just fade away. Fasting is great for detoxification and cleaning up your body and mind and it should be apart of your life consistently. The aim of meditation practices is to cultivate clean kingdom thoughts and at the same time get rid of and lock out ungodly thoughts. In these articles you will find techniques and testimonies about individual techniques some of which I developed on my own and some through research as well as specific experiences that I have has while working with meditation techniques. You’ll find articles that deal with fasting, guided meditation, resistance, prayers that seem to work better. You will also get to read my personal stories about how I would use guided meditations and prayer and how that would guide my dreams so that I could see, walk through and experience what I was praying about.

We’re going to talk about working different types of meditations into the rest of your spiritual labors.  There are a lot of teachings out there all meditation and all the different techniques but what I’m going to teach you about is about my personal journey through prayer and meditation and my different experiments with it.  So my system of meditation is a lot different than some of the other stuff that’s out there because I’m going to share how I stumbled through it without any formal training and then I just kept incorporating and experimenting with different techniques as I went.  For the most part if you look up meditation and all the different practices that people use you’ll find a lot about yoga and Eastern practices.  I’ll incorporate some of those practices as I learn them, but there is already a lot of good information about all of that already out there.  Now what you’re going to learn here is how I personally got started.  This I think will help by a lot of people who may have a similar background as myself.  I’m a Christian who’s been involved with Pentecostal and charismatic type ministries so you’ll see a lot of that type of ministry show up in the different ways that I practiced meditation.  Some take you through some of the major breakthroughs that I’ve made in prayer or meditation techniques and as you go through this with me I hope that you will get an understanding of what I’m trying to communicate to you.

When it comes to using spiritual gifts, I’ve been working with dreams and visions for a long time so any information that I gather through visions and dreams is usually a tool that I combine with my personal meditations.  When I really started to give involved with the Ministry I had a dramatic experience with deliverance and that is something really unique that’s incorporated into the way I meditate and it’s deftly not something that you find in most systems of meditation out there.  In other posts I will give you my testimony about my personal experiences with the deliverance ministry, I hope that after hearing it you’ll understand how effective deliverance techniques can be used when combined with the meditation.

For me it’s just a voice in the background guiding your thoughts, it can be a recording of yourself or someone guiding you or praying over you. My personal belief is that prayer is more for your benefit than God’s benefit. It’s a way for us to concentrate. Guided meditations can be used to deepen your attention to anything you use them for. This is especially good for those of us trying to hear from God about a certain thing because it keeps our minds from wandering. Sometimes I’ll make a recording of a prayer or journey to a certain place or spiritual destination and then set the recording on repeat allowing myself to drift in and out of sleep. This deepens your concentration allowing you to receive more of the benefits of prayer.

This works really well if you’re trying to overcome an obstacle in your life, you can change the meditation technique as you need to until the obstacle or stronghold is dealt with.
