Ok but .... this is to me slightly theoretical. 'Want' in itself suggests lack. I want something because I don't have it. If the emotions are unwanted then why did we hold on to them anyway? They are stored up certainly and mostly they are unassimilated. They are energy that we cannot digest. Non food - which can become food if prepared in the right way. In a funny way - a deep way - we do want those emotions. They affirm our importance. Our justified anger for instance. Doesn't that mean we want them in the first place but later maybe we regret wanting and holding them? Is it bad to feel anger? Say we sit for five minutes and start sobbing. Is that bad or good? Is it what we intended anyway? why did we start sitting in the first place? It's all very strange and submarine.

There’s a lot of bad teaching and misapplication of meditation out there. Very few people even know what it is really.

Anything that can be accomplished by movement and forms can be accomplished without them. Meditation is not meditation. The only guru is you. Most western Buddhists and Daoists are Christian. All of those reading this are incomplete beings. There is nothing wrong with thinking. Everything presented as non-conceptual is essentially conceptual. Jhanas lead to more suffering. Compassion is sheep quietly eating grass waiting for the slaughterman's wagon. To love fully destroys you. Wisdom means to know less.

I think you are missing the point about the nature of valid knowledge.

‘modern humanity’ understands very little if you mean people generally- they are mostly ignorant of even basic things. the knowledge of hunter gatherers of their world, plants, the behavior of animals , the weather, the seasons and the relationship to the celestial motions of sun, moon , and stars was extensive and in some ways superior to ours. scientists tend to work narrowly in their own silos and see little of the big picture - even the wisest of ‘em lacks true insight.

True orbital position maybe or most certainly is unknown and so to say the earth is central is as true as any other position. the earth is square , heaven is round.

In my humble opinion k is hot and a different magnitude to cool flushing energy. Both are good though.
