If meditations performed are power ones, then it will be hard to ignore spirituality for long. Due to the following.
1. Enemies might start attacking, especially those who are undedicated as they are easier targets. If the soul is more advanced, has certain qualities that might be useful for government institutions, such people might be even kidnapped to do work or just destroyed. As far as I remember, this was written by Hero HPS Maxine Dietrich. I do not remember where exactly.
2. Gods also might show their presence in one way or another. In reality, it is Gods who rule the universe, not jews or some filthy entities. So for them to show some signs for an individual having some potential is pretty easy, and it seems They actually do this.
However, if one performs some new-age shitty meditations that spiritually gives nothing, then awareness is not expanded, but reduced. In the past, xian masses took dozens of hours in some cases, so people would be put into a certain state out of boredom, so they would be easier programmed to believe in xian trash. One can also call this "meditation", i.e., anti-meditation.
