I can't seem to come up with a rational reason to spend a great
portion of my life in meditation. What gets accomplished? What gets
created?

Self-realization (ideally).

I'm not trying to be argumentative here or confrontational, I am
just trying to understand . My X GF spends two hours a day in
meditation and has for 25 years.

So have I, for 38 years.

Has no will to work

Me neither, but that’s not due to meditation. But I work anyway. And actually have fun with it most of the time.

She says she transcends and connects to the universal consciousness.
Cool!!!! but why the need to do this  twice a day for your life.
What's the point. Clearly given the recognition of a higher
existance (through the acceptance of a higher universal consciounes)
is it not reasonable to assume that one day we will all leave the
physical plane a transcend to this higher place as part of the souls
natural evolution?

So why spend the time we have been given here in a physical form and
on a physical plane trying to get back to the other side each and
everyday....When its time to go home we'll all get to go home.

It seems to me like a person who goes away on a vacation to a far
off exotic land only to spend every day, twice a day calling home to
see how things are back there.

Me I am here now in the present and on this plane of existance to
experience what is here in all its positive and negative aspects.
Why else would I be here if it wasn't to experience what is here on
this level of existance.

It’s natural to want to know and be more. One can explore and become permanently aware of “higher” planes of existence without forfeiting this one. It’s not “the other side.” All “levels” of reality exist here, now. What you experience in meditation is not necessarily what you experience after you die.

I am wrong????

The point of meditation is to realize that “higher consciousness” not merely in meditation, but all the time. This is tremendously enriching to life in many ways. This realization has dawned in many who have been meditating a long time, and in some who haven’t been doing it that long.
