What's the purpose of meditation?

[Patrick]

I don't know what you mean by "actualizes your states" and I've never been aware of "downloads".

When we meditate, we unconsciously receive information from our higher-self as well as send information.  This then positively affects what happens to us while incarnated, mostly by affecting our perception of what happens.  Meditation silently brings us new opportunities to see things differently.  It's always a choice whether we make use of this new awareness or not.  But the impact on one's life can be great and can almost seem like magic.
