John Mitchell:
It is clearly stated that actualism and meditation are diametrically opposed.
Thanks for bringing this up; I should have been clearer.
I was using 'meditation' in the broader sense of the term, as in, a way to cultivate your mind. Asking HAIETMOBA, deconstructing social identity, tuning into the senses, happy + harmless, etc, is certainly mind cultivation. Actualism is indeed quite different than many forms of meditation, but many kinds of meditation are also quite different from e.g. the one espoused by MCTB to get stream entry.
