"That state which transcends speech and thought is mouna. That which
is, is mouna. How can mouna be explained in words? Sages say that the
state in which the thought"I"(the ego) does not rise even in the
least, alone is Self (swarupa) which is silence (mouna). That silent
Self alone is God; Self alone is the jiva (individual soul). Self
alone is this ancient world. All other kinds of knowledge are only
petty and trivial knowledge; the experience of silence alone is the
real and perfect knowledge. Know that the many objective differences
are not real but are mere superimpositions on Self, which is the form
of true knowledge."- Sri Ramana Maharshi - See more at: EDITOR'S

Yep and even before Descartes in the West, “Know thy Self” is the
old dictum and spiritual saying from way back looking to the
Unified Field. That truth is again brought forward in a
transcendentalism of “a life well lived” at Walden Pond,
versus this un-quieted desperation of the materialism of these
anti-meditation neganauts displayed here.
One can feel a grave concern for the sanity of our neganauts here
based on what evidently is a growing body of clinical evidence to
their negative obsessions with and their outbursts over
transcending meditation and what clearly is the manifest
transcendent experience of the Unified Field in others so attested
to by so many adept in spirituality and human potential. May the
great over-soul of the Unified Field have mercy on the small souls
of our neganauts here in the unfoldment of their own awakening
experience,

Addressing the important issues!
The philosopher Rene Descartes put forth a famous theory -
"/I think, therefore I am./" Descartes was a dualist who
believed that the mind was separate from the body.
However, long before Rene Descarte the ancient Buddhists
and Hindus had already formulated the notion of
non-duality mentioned in the Upanishads - the notion that
/consciousness itself was the ultimate reality/ and that
it was /one, not two/. In India they call this the
"/Consciousness Only School/", ascribed to by the Adi
Shankara and Arya Asanga. According to the Mahayana Sutra
Lankara:
/"Pure consciousness is the only Reality. By its nature,
it is Self-luminous." (XIII, 13). "Thus shaking off
duality, he directly perceives the Absolute which is the
unity underlying phenomena (dharmadatu)."/ (VI, 7) Sharma,
p. 112-113
