If you mean that me simply reading about meditation is different from trying it, you are very right. I think the human brain can do some amazing things, but I also know that the laws of gravity prevent people from floating, and that several monks used to do this as a trick to convert people. Honestly I compare it to this

These things are set up to trick people, but everyone knows they are fake.

What I was stating about your post was more the approach you used, not the content. Sorry, I like learning about rhetoric, and the over all structure of your argument stood out to me. Had little to do with the monks themselves. Like I said, I really wasn't trying to come off like a dick, just something I noticed.
