Quieting the Mind

This is a process that is supposed to lead from the external world of 'chaos' deep into the inner world of 'tranquillity'.  

Enabling the practitioner to enter into the 'darkness of silence beyond the light'

It uses transcendental meditation techniques, mixed with monastic 'spiritual disciplines', that generate self-delusion, altered-states of consciousness, hallucinations, and the belief that one has bonded in union with God; receiving from him extra-biblical revelation and messages beyond those recorded in Scripture, as well as, uniting one with their true Self. 

It is a deceptive practice that can lead those who are weak in their faith into a hollow philosophy that can damage or shipwreck their faith.
