Can meditation cause debilitating problems?

The only meditation process I am aware of is to empty the mind in order to bring peace to the body and I am not aware of any debilitating problems.
There are many positions you can get into in meditation and I suppose if you do not have healthy joints, you might find you are stiff after sitting cross legged or in a yoga pose for a long time, but meditation that is practiced to bring peace to the mind is a flexible practice allowing for vast possibilities in the practice so there is no chance of debilitation.
I am a private practitioner, so I do things for myself, geared to my needs. I do not follow any one else’s ideas so I am not familiar with how meditation teachers are doing things.
My practice is very relaxing and simple and it starts with finding a time and a place where you can be completely alone and feel safe, wearing comfortable clothes and choosing a comfortable position preferably where you are sitting or lying down.
Soft music can be used if this helps you to relax, or you may choose to listen to tapes of sounds that you find comforting such as ocean waves, the wind, birds, or bells.
Breathing always begins the practice because I find it a helpful exercise to focus on and if you practice breathing deeply, fully and slowly you will find that this exercise alone calms you.
Once calm, you can close your eyes if this pleases you. (I close mine) and you continue to experience your breathing as you let your mind empty, allowing all your thoughts to come and go at will without engaging them.
This is my practice and I have not experienced anything debilitating in it. I find it restful, peaceful, relaxing and refreshing.
By contemplation and self-surrender I have been and still am seeking unity and wholeness with the divine and the spiritual knowing of truths that are beyond the human intellect. I am in daily communication with the House of Christ, I channel other spirits, I receive and still seek higher knowledge and higher understanding of the mind and creation. Therefore, I call myself a mystic.

How do you stop seeing ghosts?

I am sorry to report that I don’t believe you can. If you are psychic (and you obviously are if you see ghosts) you will continue to see ghosts. I think what you need is a way to handle the gift that you possess especially if you have no interest in pursuing it. Seeing ghosts can be frightening, but it can also be a challenge because it will push you to the limit of reality (what you thought was reality, before you started seeing ghosts.) When you see a ghost, you come face to face with the immortal. You are looking at someone whose flesh body has died yet, their spirit lives. At the very core of this, this is astounding. But it’s really not frightening. Not if you understand what you are seeing. Are you interested? You are not the sum of your body. This is why the spirit survives. You are a mind; not the mind of your brain, you are the mind of your spirit. Your spirit is your actual body. The body you see as the “ghost” is actually made of spirit material which is

Why has neuroscience not settled the question of free will?

All of man’s science is based on physical proof. What physical properties does the will have? Can you hold it in your hand? Can you pour it on to your cereal? Have you ever heard/read of any doctor, especially a surgeon who removed the will of a patient when they removed their tonsils? Performed a heart transplant, Removed a bad kidney, removed gall stones or performed brain surgery? Human science will not find the physical evidence of the will nor will they ever produce the physical proof of a spirit. (Even though ghosts can be captured on cameras. Technology makes this evidence speculative and open to interpretation.) Human science will also never produce a mind or the thoughts that a mind contains. Human science is limited, finite and incomplete because man’s vision is also limited by his blind refusal to open his limited mind to a universe of possibilities that exists beyond the physical realm.

Is Divinity a gift or that which is already within you?

Thank you for your question. I will not say that divinity is not already within you but we may not perceive, interpret or understand divinity in the same way. My understanding of divinity is a sublime state, a superior state, a state of perfection and holiness. I do not believe that divinity can be obtained on earth; that is, I do not believe that we (as human beings) can be divine while we are human because the negative energies of the physical world and especially of man’s world are against divinity. You see, as divinity is sublime, superior and a state of perfection, it is also the highest positive state. The physical world, by virtue of its material component (and man by virtue of his material component) is denser than spirit. Gravity is a negative influence, not a positive one. Add the effects of gravity, which keep you grounded to the physical plane and to gravity add all the negative energy that is present in the world, add your own negative energy on to all of t
