Lee, I can't really argue with you on the basis of what you believe you have learned through your meditation. However, I put it to you that the kind of truths you think you learn are entirely inconsequential. There's no value in them and they cannot definitively be proven right or wrong. Ethics, morality, and things that will forever remain safely in the realm of the unknowable. All very convenient "truths" to know the "answer" to, eh?
How about you meditate tonight on the precise volume of morphine your own body could take without you dying and then tell me whether you believe your God enough to put the numbers to the test. If you're not biting, ask yourself why.
