Listen "E028 - Mindfulness, and the Definition of Communion & Love Feasts"

Episode Synopsis

People have been misunderstanding communion for decades … and centuries really. In this episode I discuss precisely the significance of such an important thing, and the context into which those details were born. Mindfulness and heart play a big part in these books that we’re covering these days, and this chapter really keeps the line of heart and mind connection very well. How should we be thinking when we’re taking communion, and how do we appreciate the gravity of what such an action symbolizes.
Remember that meditation runs smoothly throughout the Torah, and whenever you focus in on a certain thing for a length of time - that is meditation. Albeit, meditating on the sacrifice of Jesus, is far more powerful than focusing on the breath - they both have their place and time. As you read and discover more and more (check out the Septuagint http://ccat.sas.upenn.edu/nets/edition/ and the New Testament books) you will no doubt discover Philippians 4:8 King James Version (KJV) 8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. It tells you to think … and what to think on … that is a focus … that is a meditation.

The last part is about being mindful of each other. If you know that there are others who aren’t as well as as you are, allow that to play a part in your behavior. Maybe you set boundaries with what you say or do, to protect the feelings of the other. What do you think would be a good thing to increase mindfulness to watch out for your fellow neighbor?

KJV 1 Corinthians 11: 21 For in eating every one taketh before other his own supper: and one is hungry, and another is drunken. 22 What? have ye not houses to eat and to drink in? or despise ye the church of God, and shame them that have not? what shall I say to you? shall I praise you in this? I praise you not. 23 For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, that the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread: 24 And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me. 25 After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, this cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me. 26 For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come. 27 Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. 28 But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup. 29 For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body. 30 For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep. 31 For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged. 32 But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world. 33 Wherefore, my brethren, when ye come together to eat, tarry one for another. ...
