Configuring and Reconfiguring My Life; My Meditation, My Thought
Men are wired up by the creator with the ability to reason, and think through. The minds of men have been given full capacity by the divine being and designed to fashion out his own world. The supreme being himself have reverence for the efficacy of the thought of men and he allows men to engage their minds the way it pleases them as seen even in the Holy book, Romans 1:28 "And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;" and also Deuteronomy 30:19 "I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:".
Meditation which can also be called reasoning or being thoughtful is the ability to think and reason through. It's the ability to stay on course a particular matter and make devices therein and out. It is pondering and digesting what you have heard, read, and seen. It's the ability through which your mind create designs for your world, in other words it means the mental process in which you form models of your own world. It's a search for answers.
A man once said, " reading, seeing,or hearing alone doesn't make a person wise but thinking does". Meditating on what you have read, is what makes the potency of the letters come alive in you, the same goes for what you hear and see. Actions by impulses don't stand the test of time, but actions that evolve from the realm of mediation does. The Holy book gave accreditation to this in Psalms 119:97-99 "O how love I thy law! it is my meditation all the day. Thou through thy commandments hast made me wiser than mine enemies: for they are ever with me. I have more understanding than all my teachers: for thy testimonies are my meditation".
Some of the different levels of reasoning are:
Insightful Meditation
Here, men take time to sit and reason on a particular course and how solutions can be given to prospective occurrences and events. Men engage this and make their reasoning to be visionary. Digging deep is the core value here. Seeing beyond the ordinary is the engagement. Though it may not look like it at the time, but adequate foresight is already in place for combat and victory.
Experiential Reasoning
The reasoning deals with the task(s) at hand. It is what men engage in whenever they are faced with the question of what next. It is finding appropriate answers to the issue at hand. It's an engagement that draws from the pool of answers to meet the situation at hand.
Meditation is a system or mentality for consistent victory and navigation in life, because only men that are reasonable amount to substantial value in life. A man once said that the most difficult thing for men to do is to sit and think. Yes, that's true because many have been encumbered with so many unnecessaries and thereby have eroded their reasoning faculty. Meditation/reasoning is a navigating factor in life, and a joke with right reasoning is a joke with impact and meaning in life. The great places of life are not meant for jokers but men who by the way of right reasoning and engagement find their way there.
Why meditation then ??
God has a plan for everyone, but he will never plan for you. Are you confused?. Don't be, because when God created you, he made you loaded and filled you with necessary ingredients to navigate through life, but he won't come and make strategic plans for you. You have to sit and think through and then come out with plans. I laugh, you think you can't sit and think?, you can, because those things are already locked up inside of you, your duty is just to fetch them out.
If you are not a thinker, then you are prey!!!. Hmm , are you surprised?. A man who can't think will be made to serve others who think on regular basis. What do you think distinguish a company CEO and the man at the gate?. Mentality, I say thinking pattern!!!. He who can't think will be at the mercies of those who have by reason of positive thinking attain heights.
Finally, if you are not a thinker you have no future!!!. It's not a curse or offensive word, but the reality. You see, thinking is a long time secret that many don't understand and the few that understand this are the ones at the top. Listen, greatness emanates from secrets and thinking is a secret for greatness. So, he who fails to engage the ancient path have no part in the future!!!.
