Is there a religious component to your meditation practice? If so, how do the two intersect?

tusculum — 11 years ago — permalinkWhat I take "religion" to mean is "believing what an authority tells you on faith, without requiring evidence or asking uncomfortable questions." I see meditation as a project of exploring one's conscious experience and NOT taking anything on faith but questioning every aspect in order to see clearly what's really going on. Thus, to me meditation seems the exact opposite of religion.
