Joe Dispenza Meditation Group in Singapore

Hi Patrick,

Thanks for your comments. That's a good question. My response would be 1) I don't have all the answers 2) I probably would not agree with 100% of what anybody says or believes or teaches, but that doesn't mean I cannot benefit from them. This would apply to Joe Dispenza as well as to say my favourite Christian Mystic teacher.

I believe in learning from different people and traditions and yes, there will be things that may seem to be contradictory. In such cases, I would need to decide what to believe for myself. As a Christian, in everything I do, I go through Jesus Christ and I pray for Wisdom. So if there are certain things I don't agree with Joe say during a guided meditation, then internally I choose what to believe for myself as I go through the meditation.

Having been in Evangelical churches for nearly 30 years, I know the typical Christian view is that such meditation is demonic and for the most part I don't agree with that. Also I don't think what Dr. Joe Dispenza teaches is particularly unique either in that a lot of it is from ancient wisdom – yoga, etc. It's just his packaging of it all that is unique and his own.

As of the present moment, the way I understand it is that a lot of the practices taught by Dr. Joe are natural and common to all of humanity. As in, it's not inherently godly or demonic. It's a human "technology" that can be used for both good and evil. He brings science into a lot of his practices.

Philip St. Romain, a Roman Catholic spiritual director, has written a number of books touching on eastern forms of meditation and 2 in particular related to Kundalini (which is the energy that is often experienced during Dr. Joe Dispenza's retreats and meditation, and which many Christians would probably label as "demonic"): Kundalini Energy and Christian Spirituality: A Pathway to Growth and Healing and The Kundalini Process: A Christian Perspective.

The above view is of course not common among Christians, but then again, a lot of things I believe are not very accepted in most of Evangelical Christianity :) I am much more open than most Christians and I believe there's something to learn from every tradition and I am also aware of the limitations of my understanding of the world and how things work and so I tend not to be too dogmatic or overly confident in my evaluation and judgement of things. As a Christian, most importantly, I go through Jesus Christ and I am responsible to God ultimately so I pray for Wisdom and always seek Him.

To me, Dr. Joe Dispenza is by no means perfect (and I'm quite sure he's still learning a lot of things) but there's a lot to be thankful of with regard to his teachings and meditations. It has indeed blessed and helped many people.
