>Meditation doesn't really promote the intellect. I can go with that. >It needs direction You mean like a goal? >Something which karma yoga may provide for societal concerns I think it's closer to aesthetics. >There are over 100 meditations defined in Indian traditions. They're all useless without direction. Meditation can be approached as an experiment and an exploration. No goal necessary. And when investigating a true mystery I think that a goal is inappropriate.
