I will disregard it. I also agree that this matter cannot be resolved, the only way it can be is to experience this sort of meditation and see what happens myself.

Neither will my reason for meditation be to cultivate these things, I understand already that there's enough good that meditation does for me in my present situation and that came about slowly understanding the truth behind the Buddhas teaching.

Still, the monk in my meditation society saying that baffles me a little. Maybe I will kindly ask him what it is all about.

BTW, this monk isn't the first person I've heard this from, though he is the first monk I've heard this from. First time I heard it didn't bother me, but hearing it from a monk, it's hard to shake it off.
