When I first got your post I just scanned the first line, knew it would take time to pose a well thought out response so I moved on. As I just now opened and read the whole post, I ask myself why should I bother. So let's address the second half first. I don't recall ever mentioning whether I did or did not meditate. For all you know I might have practiced Zen Buddhism, TM, or yoga for years. Or any and all of them at sometime. Second, since you claim that you do, might I offer the observance that based on your posts here it sometimes doesn't seem to be working in the understanding and compassion department very well. Third, since I am helping my daughter move in a couple of days and have a ton of things to do to get ready, thank you for giving me the incentive to get back to the "first hand" study of life. You have a distinct talent for helping me do that. When and if I get back I may or may not answer your question. I doubt seriously if I do respond you will understand or agree with much of anything I say. Keep your butt down.
