The reason one enters into lower mental states is because you don't have the power or chi flowing through you.
Some people meditate because they need more energy and when you meditate you get a tremendous amount of energy.
Some people meditate because they are sick and tired of their life, of the world, of the way people abuse each other and abrogate each other's freedoms.

Meditation is when we go beyond incarnation, beyond all cycles, to immortality, to something that is not transient.

Meditation is like taking a shower. You are going to wash all the dirt off that you have picked up since your last shower and be clean.

If we get too caught up in the rhetoric of meditation, we will miss the point. The point was to go beyond rhetoric.

When you meditate you feel joy, harmony, peace, stillness, ecstasy, laughter, certainty, courage, strength, awareness and immortality. In the beginning you will feel these things vaguely, a distant knocking at your castle door.
Meditation is the study of making the mind still. As your mind becomes still, a power enters you. This power transmogrifies your mind, it escalates your evolution and you begin to cycle through many incarnations in one lifetime.

When you are in a condition of light everything is ecstatic, everything is joyous, everything is beautiful. Your attention field is subtle. The ego is quiet. The mind is still. Your heart is happy.
