So rather than argue each time I see a post that I don't agree with, I look for times when I can provide information that I feel is sound that will help make murky issues a little bit less so. I also will state a contrarian opinion when I feel the urge, but rarely see much point in arguing such things at length for the reasons I just stated.

Well this sounds apathetic to me, though I don't mean that in a negative way, just that you obviously have more important things to do than spend your time here in intellectual debate over intuitively conceived topics. I rather enjoy it, not that you don't make a decent case for why it's mostly a waste of time. I find that, when it's not a waste of time, it can be a quite valuable tool for stimulating the expansion of my personal paradigm.
Usually, I find this comes more from finding ways to express and clarify
my own set of axioms....and that's my point above. There's nothing to be gained, either for the holder of an idea, or their audience, by dropping in an unsubstantiated opinion and leaving it there for their buddies to say "yeah, so cool...me too", while ignoring those who dare to question it. It's non- productive, not expansive, and might as well be church dogma AFAIC. I'm not even talking about the situations involving people who constantly require scientific proof of intuitive faculties...though there are ways to deal with them as well.

I would know they haven't anwsered.

Yeah, I read the first page, see your re-evaluation of the title, and all. I don't think the provocativeness of the title was a problem, but non-responses and "trust me" attitudes are. In fact, I might go further. The fact that you dropped a verbal and ideological bomb on the Nexus group, and (mostly) they didn't bother to come here and set your ass straight in a major way, makes me question the value of all that meditation in the first place. IMO, this planet needs an major activation of spiritual warriors. I'm not talking about hate and killing, but we're in a struggle for the very survival of the human species and the planet it inhabits. If that's not enough to fire us up...in whatever direction we believe will help, we deserve whatever we're manifesting next by default.
If a large group of people is being encouraged (or seduced) into directing energy on a global scale, it seems to me that all aspects of such alchemy need to be transparent. "Trust me" does not fly in this instance, when IMO all religions in the world are already a part of process of siphoning human energy into...wherever it goes.
This is being discussed in
Czymra's syphoning thread but it applies here as well. If there are questions as to the exact nature of what's going on behind a process which has as it's intention the goal of utilizing a million people's energy, questions need answered...NOW, and not played off with "all will be revealed in time".
