Mantra Meditation (or Eastern Meditation) seeks to “empty” the mind of all rational thought in order to achieve an intermediate state of “oneness” with everything, and therefore, oneness with the “god” who is in everything (the heresy of Pantheism). This is a dangerous and foolish practice. Not only does it cause the individual to be vulnerable to demonic oppression, it also deceives the individual by convincing them that it is possible to grow spiritually apart from involving the mind.
