Thanks for the thoughtful reply. We’re likely in a similar position. I still practice because it helps me focus and deal with stress, but I’m less convinced there are important fundamental truths to be revealed. If these deep insights from meditation and spiritual practice are so personal that they don’t manifest in one’s life or personality such that other people notice then it’s probably not real.

Maybe it’s just really rare and not on social media :)

Your last statement hits the nail on the head. From personal experience, it was only after initially meditating for the benefits of reducing stress/increasing focus followed by subsequently long periods of intensive meditation (20-30 days continuous for 8-10 hours per day) that led to the understanding there are indeed more fundamental truths to be revealed! It's a gradual and personal process vs an a-ha moment.
