The morality of meditation: How meditation guides one to follow the life example of Jesus

Meditation is a form of ethics that was abolished from the Western Church several hundred years after the death of Christ. Meditation leads one to live as Jesus did. Today there is a resurgence of meditation in the Church, but one Christian denomination, the Reconstructionists, see a return to Biblical Law as the way to an ethical society.; The procedures for this thesis included research of history and philosophers using books, Internet sources, and interviews.; Results show that meditation is a more ethical approach than Reconstructionism.; Meditation leads one to live in the compassionate way that Jesus did and is therefore a form of ethics that should be embraced. Reconstructionism and its quest for the return to biblical law goes against that which Jesus taught.
