In addition, one could also infer from the article that the original purpose of meditation was to break from the cycle of infinite reincarnations by means of bringing the mind in a disassociative state with reality (life on earth). I understand that the psychotic state overlaps with a disassocative state. I also understood that it is common knowledge that meditating a lot leads to insommia and that even meditating more than 30 minutes per day as a measurable effect on sleep quality. So, it seems that meditation is only useful when you believe in reincarnation and believe it is the only way for escaping the endless wheel of reincarnation. If you believe you have but one life, it is probably not the best method to benefit from that one life.
