Did Jesus Meditate

[Gar81]

Hey all

It’s considering Jesus level of spiritual development I’m thinking he must have meditated, also I have been told that’s what he did for 40 days in the dessert. What do ye think.

[Inika]

yep. sure did.

meditate on god, meditate on gods word.

he'd even pray. and showed the people how.

I came across something very interesting yesterday and it was about how Jesus spent time in India in his youth for 6 years, learning a lot of Buddhist and Hindu teachings and meditations. He apparently spent time in a monastery near the Himalayas. Then in the early 1900s a Russian explorer in the Himalayas Nicholas Notovich broke his leg and spent time recovering in this monastery and an old monk began telling him the story of Jesus staying there, the explorer was shown manuscripts which were wrote at the time Jesus stayed there and documented his life. When Nicholas Notovich recovered and got the manuscript translated he showed it to the world but much of the catholic and Indian faith said he and the manuscript was a fake. A famous Indian swami and critic of the manuscript actually went out to the monastery to examine it himself, he changed his mind and he agreed it was real , followed later by a scientist who also said it was real. Basically most of the manuscript said Jesus mediated intenseiy and taught it to others. If anyone is interested in reading this google Nicholas Notovich. I’m also wondering why in the catholic faith meditation is frowned upon and not a lot of mentioned in the bible, but I’m no expert either!

it is pretty simple. They frown upon anything that would have a chance of loosening their control of the populace. Whether or not it was originally mentioned in the bible I don't know, but I am aware of them editing out other stuff that didn't go along with their 'control' agenda.

There is a deep tradition of Christian meditation in the Roman Catholic Church.

Truly...

But it's a prayer/meditation with a mantra to be God-centered.

Thanks, that's interesting because I've heard the same thing that Jesus did some meditations that people call Kundalini Yoga today. I think anyone would have to do lots of practice like that to have the same powers, but they don't see the powers as great, just motivations to believe in a loving higher power and that we're connected to it. A guy went around looking for a teacher, and some showed him great powers like levitating, but he wasn't impressed, he was looking for someone who had something real that he could feel in his heart. He told the levitating guy, "that's not a big deal, planes can fly faster than you can." LOL

It's interesting that Jesus did meditations to gain powers, it means any of us can do the same. We're not worms and Jesus is far above us.. or any other prophet, guru, saint.. they're just people like us but who did a lot of meditations. For me it's like showering. If I miss a day I start to feel icky.

I believe Buddha and Jesus both stated that we're just as capable of everything they did. and they weren't any different than us.

May be mistaken though.

I think you're right. If I'm not mistaken, Jesus said we can be even more powerful than him. That makes sense to me, because I think a good teacher desires his students to be better than himself.

Why would he?
The only reason we need to meditate is that we cannot hold on to higher vibrations all day long. We lose it because of day-to-day life.
As soon as we are able to not lose it anymore, we also don't need to meditate anymore.
Meditating is only needed to quiet your mind, get tuned in, tapped in, turned on to your inner guidance and thus Source.
Maybe Jesus needed this when he was younger and still learning, dunno. But as the living breathing Lightworker he was? Must say I seriously doubt it. How could he have done what he did if he couldn't hold on to his high vibration?
Would he have told ppl who came to him for help and healing "Sorry, I need to meditate first, come back in the afternoon when I'm on my high flying disk again!" or something?

Hello FairyCrystal, I hope I am not bothering you.

I am trying to formulate a response here to this that you've brought up, without deterring too much from topic.

I would like to ask if this is truly how you view Jesus? Never often having to meditate due to a very high vibrational frequency? I intend no criticism at all, I am very unaware that these are views some may hold, as I have never seen it from this viewpoint myself, I only ask at a meager attempt to understand, I really do not understand this thinking.

I feel people lose sight at times that what you all call Jesus, was human... or perhaps that is merely how I perceive him, I am inclined to feel that yes, as a human, he too must of had faults, worries, concerns, failures, feelings, thoughts, and I am inclined to believe that yes he did meditate.

I have never felt quite a peace as that of a quiet meditative, reflective state of silence, gratitude, and tuning in.

I am inclined personally to feel that Jesus perhaps too would have enjoyed and delighted in this sorely needed peace.

I know I feel Jesus too was human, personally I have never met a person with extremely high and constant vibrations.

I did not come here understanding the vibration talk to begin with, I very much still don't.

I have read that mediums attempt to higher their vibrational frequency to better communicate with spirits, or that is a technique that is suggested.

That is all I understand about it.

I have never heard of having such a high frequency that one needs not meditate and have not heard of anyone whom has made such claims.

I also do not feel miracles need be performed with meditation itself, or a high vibrational frequency.

Though can not say I've ever performed a miracle.

I will say I feel the most wonderful peace I have ever felt has been in silent observatory meditation. I do not feel Jesus would've taken that type of peaceful mindfulness for granted, in any form one could achieve it.
