I'm reading this morning of Joel Goldsmith's commitment to God and how he was led to spend four, five, six and more hours a day in meditation, and he recommends that for anyone who seeks still more spiritual growth.
I cannot over-emphasize how resistant I am to that idea. I wish I could say I'd never heard of such a thing, but I've read this book more than once before, the first time some ten years ago. I was just as resistant then as I am now...resistant to this single idea. All the rest of what he shares about his journey is terrific...love it...recommend it highly.
Here's my unfortunate dilemma. The promise of what we get if we spend four, five, six and more hours a day in meditation is: The harmony of heaven on earth. I'm like, what? Is that all?? Four, five, six hours a day, and I get harmony???
Mind you, my only prayer for as long as I can remember has been for peace of mind. Apparently I want peace of mind until I'm told the secret of how to get it. It's the same old, same old...how do you get to Carnegie Hall? Practice, practice, practice.
Finding my gold, I make myself available to God daily to do with me, to build of me, as he wishes. And he does, and he does.
Thank you.
