>But then again arguing takes places on a dualistic level, so what's the point (in this specific case)? Meditation is a skill. To practice any skill, you first have to understand it conceptually. So clear understanding is important. On the other hand speaking of duality vs non-duality doesn't seem to be useful, as it's something one has to realise non-conceptually. The only way to do it is through practice. Which, again, to be done correctly requires some proper conceptual understanding (of the practice method, not of the end goal). That's why sometimes it's useful to argue about such distinctions.
