Well an atheist meditating is one way of keeping God in the closet.

So, are you defining that proto-pixie is actually "nothingness"?
If so, then you may have a point..

Is that what you're calling it these days?

How long have you been in the closet?

Another stupid claim. Got any supporting evidence? Of course not.

We (atheists) certainly know that to refer to the group, the word "Atheists" should be used. It appears you did not meditate sufficiently to determine the correct spelling of the plural noun. Either you were not at one with God or your God is a poor speller or a poor grammarian.

Actually, it's more interesting than that. What seems to happen during meditation is that you engage with parts of your brain not normally visited by consciousness.

Parts of the brain which might see the world with a different perspective than the one you're used to.

There seem to be a lot of scientific insights triggered by dreams, and I find that my brain in the hypogogic state that precedes sleep can be highly productive.

I suspect, myself, that the process of ideation, i.e. having ideas, is rather like crystallization. Turn your brain into a saturated solution of little ideas, then make it still and cold and, if you are lucky, those little ideas will assemble themselves into one big one.

Only if you have a light with the word GOD painted on it.

Meditation has nothing to do with religion.  People who aren't religious meditate all the time.
