Is meditation a STS act?

[rva_jeremy]

I'd just like to point out one thing: asking whether meditation is, or could be, an STS act is different than asking whether meditation is, or could be, *bad*. STS/STO is not a normative dichotomy, but it's often used as if it is. So my answer would be of course meditation is a STS act; it's just a matter of the degree of STS energy dynamic involved. Is it therefore *bad* when it is more STS than STO? That's up to you, and I'd suggest understanding why you answer that question one way or the other will bear more fruit than understanding the answer itself.
