,helped a person learn to meditate just recently. Was spiritual opening for the learner and was an awakening they weren't getting by not meditating. Very special opportunity to witness happen again as the person came to sitting with, no-mantra, no thought, a Self-realization. A from there type of experience. I'm not saying people should stop meditating. I haven't missed a meditation since I learned in 1968. I'm just saying that for some people it may be appropriate or beneficial to stop, temporarily or permanently. I know a fellow who suffered a psychotic breakdown after too much meditation on the Purusha program. Maybe he should stop. I think he did, at least for a while. I know people who underwent spiritual awakenings after having stopped. I know people who stopped after having Awakened, because they felt they were meditating all the time and it didn't seem necessary to sit and do it. And they continue to experience profound shifts and clarifications of their experience, including development of celestial perception, even though they don't meditated with eyes closed. I'm just saying that one size does not fit all. It's hard to make some kind of blanket prescription for what everyone should or shouldn't do. People will do what they are supposed to do.
