About prayer and meditation
We first define the concept.
Prayer has two sides: form and content.
1. Prayer as a form of the psyche, refers to the way of life of their ancestors. That is, to the fact that our ancestors often repeated. In this sense, prayer performs the same role as the songs, dances, Proverbs, sayings, tales, traditions, customs and other rituals of their ancestors. All of this is a form of the psyche, and its repetition strengthens and supports the shape of our psyche are in a stable state. The form of mind refers to the function of the left hemisphere and strengthens practical mind, body, material success. This appeal to the mother, the maternal beginning.
2. Prayer, as the content of the psyche, refers to spirituality, ideology, way of life and is a function of the right hemisphere. This appeal to the father, to the father's beginning.
The prayer can be read in different ways. There are 3 options. You can pay attention only to the form, only the content or form and content.
1. If the prayer is read mechanically and to pay attention only on pronunciation, the melody, pondering in the content, then the prayer will contribute to the development of practical mind — functions of the left hemisphere. This defective prayer, but may bring some benefit, such as folk dances, songs and other good traditions. If prayers regularly and intensively to only repeat mechanically, without understanding the contents, meaning, you can enter in a manic state of euphoria. This is the way to spirituality.
2. If the reading of the prayer to think only about the content in the form of images, but do not realize logically this content, then the prayer will contribute to the development of the spirit — functions of the right hemisphere. This defective prayer, but it can bring some benefits in the form of principles, ideas, creative thinking. If prayers regularly and intensively to repeat only figuratively, not realizing the content logically, you can enter into depression, apathy. This is the path to madness.
3. If the reading of the prayer to think about the content in the form of images and to understand this content, to understand logically, and to Express outwardly, then the prayer will contribute to the development of mind and mind — functions of the right and left hemispheres and to promote their coherence. In this case, the prayer will contribute to the harmonization of personality. It is a complete prayer.
Meditation is a defective prayer. Meditation is a special case of prayer, when the prayer of the man only thinks about the content in the form of images, but is not aware of is the content logically. Therefore, the meditation will contribute to the development of the spirit — functions of the right hemisphere, but not the mind. If meditation is to practice regularly and intensely, you can start a movement of spirit without mind. This is the path to madness. For example, a yogi sitting in the cave for 40 years and is constantly in a state of meditation. He dries the body suffers physical, material side is suppressed practical mind and common sense. Is unconscious self-destruction, attempted development of the spirit without the mind. In fact, the spirit we need to develop the mind, practical matters, and not crazy. If meditation added spiritual energy, first you have to know the direction of movement of this spirit (creative or destructive forces), and secondly it is a parasite on the spiritual heritage, the theft of the total spiritual energy, increased with the participation of the mankind.
Thus, the proper prayer is an individual activity! Meditation is inferior prayer — an attempt of development of spirit without mind.
In the diagram at the top shows a result of video-computer psycho-diagnostics of a priest.
In the 1st case, the priest in the normal state, when he was regularly repeated prayers are mechanical and focused only on the logical form, not pondering the content. This defective prayer. It is useful, but, in extreme cases, can lead to a lack of spirituality. In the diagram, the priest is in a logical impulsive psychological condition.
In the 2nd case, the priest prayed, presenting images only, and were not aware of the content of these images logically. This defective prayer. It is useful, but in extreme cases can lead to insanity. This prayer is similar to meditation. In the diagram, the priest is intuitive impulsive psychological condition.
In the 3rd case, the priest prayed figuratively and understood these images logically. It is a complete prayer and equivalent individual creativity. In the diagram, the priest is in a stable psychological condition. The degree of harmony of the individual increases.
