Meditation... a long term perspective

Many years ago I was disagreeing with a person about meditation and challenging their point of view. Finally, that person shut me down by telling me "I have been meditating for 10 years!". Only afterwards did the snappy answer occur to me .... "and how many lifetimes?"
I have now been meditating for 55 years... which might sound impressive, but the same retort applies to me also.
This video is for the purpose of being fully open with people about "where I am coming from". It is my long considered view on what real meditation is.
