All that tells us is that you're incapable of identifying spiritual merit.
You're, at best, ignorant.
Nonsense.
Luke 8:10
He (Jesus) said, "The knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of God has been given to you, but to others I speak in parables, so that, "'though seeing, they may not see; though hearing, they may not understand."
Jesus taught only his closest disciples the secrets. You do not know how to speak without breathing or walk on water. You do not have the secrets. Christ did not mean for you to have them.
You're in for a treat.

The Beginners Practice of Inner Fire Meditation:
-
First sit in an upright and comfortable meditation posture: back straight, chin tilted forward, mouth closed, tongue resting against the top of your mouth, eyes either intense and fully open or relaxed and half open.
-
Visualise yourself as hollow, like a balloon. Your skin is glowing and brilliant and on the inside there is only empty space. Take a few moment to strongly establish this visualisation.
-
Visualise a ‘central channel’ about a 1cm thick from your perineum to the crown of your head and two ‘side channels’ going in through the nostrils up to the third eye or eyebrow level and then going down either side of the central channel merging at just below the navel. All the ‘channels’ are hollow like plumbing pipes. Take a moment to establish this visualisation, it does get easier and even instantaneous with practice. See image.
-
Even if you cannot do the former visualisation this next step is the most important in generating the blissful energy: Take a medium sized breath and, as you exhale, imagine your breath energy going down the two side channels and merging into the central channel just below the navel (about a few cm in front of the spine). Imagine a very small and very hot ball of light in the central channel and your breath ignites this fiery ball and makes it extremely hot. Now exhale completely and hold it. Hold your exhaled breath, your lungs empty, there in that ball of heat at the navel, for 5-15 seconds (experienced yogis can hold the breath here for several minutes). WARNING: stop immediately and breathe normally if you get dizzy or lightheaded.
-
This next step is optional but helps to generate even more heat and focused attention: As you are holding the breath inside the central channel at the small ball of heat just below the navel, draw energy up from below and down from above and lock and trap it in the ball of heat. Draw it up by activating the perineum muscle (like you are holding back from urinated), hold this muscle and lock it in. Simultaneously swallow some saliva down to get the feeling of pushing down on the ball of heat at the navel and lock it in. Experiment with this. You may wish to lock it in by drawing up from below first and then push down from above, or vice vera. Do what feels best for you to get the sense you are locking in a tremendous amount of energy in a tiny space at the navel.
-
Now release all the energy you have created – straight up through the central and bursting out the top of your head like a fountain. As the energy rushes up through the central channel it blows away any blockages in all the chakras from the solar plexus, the heart, the throat, the third eye and crown chakra. this energy cleanses and purifies your entire body mind system. You can also imagine releasing the energy into parts of your body you need to heal.

Repeat steps 2-6
…try Inner Fire Meditation for 2-5 minutes to begin with. Do not practice for extended periods of time until you become familiar with the practice and feel confident and strong enough to do so.
This may have sounded complicated, but it is incredibly simple to practice. For an easy and modified version simply exhale long slow breaths right down into the navel area and hold it there for a short time and release it, this can also be enough to generate heat and bliss.
Lama Thubten Yeshe, he taught that inner fire meditation is a perfect meditation for westerners because it brings very quick results and it is like a recipe, when you put all the ingredients together it just works.
I have had great results practicing inner fire and it has been one of my main meditation practices for over 10 years. I have in no way mastered the skills to the level of Tibetan yogis who can withstand extremely cold weather scantly dressed, but I have had humble results of improved concentration and focus, more energy and confidence and experiences of blissful inner pleasure.
More experienced adepts of inner fire meditation have been studied by scientist and the results were remarkable and unexplainable in western scientific terms. Herbert Benson is an associate professor of medicine at the Harvard Medical School and president of the Mind/Body Medical Institute in Boston. He has studied extraordinary human potential since the 80’s and:
“During visits to remote monasteries in the 1980s, Benson and his team studied monks living in the Himalayan Mountains who could, by using Tummo meditation, raise the temperatures of their fingers and toes by as much as 17 degrees. It has yet to be determined how the monks are able to generate such heat.” – See the Harvard Tummo Experiment for more info.

He's telling you the unfiltered truth.
You aren't ready for it yet.
This is why secret traditions are secret.
There are several ailments that interfere with spiritual realization. Blindness, deafness, etc. The good news is you have plenty of potential future lives to get it done. My suggestion is to try to earn lives in good circumstances by practicing generosity, compassion, patience and so on.
I try not to bug people with it. We could do this every night but I'm burnt out on teaching, personally.
The path is uncertain and vague.

A university student while visiting Gasan asked him: ‘Have you ever read the Christian Bible?’
‘No, read it to me,’ said Gasan. The student opened the Bible and read from St Mattew: ‘And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the
lilies of the field, how they grow. They toil not, neither do they spin, and yet I say unto you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like
one of these. …Take therefore no thought for the morrow, for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself.’
Gasan said: ‘Whoever uttered those words I consider an enlightened
man.’
The student continued reading: ‘Ask and it shall be given you, seek and ye shall find, knock and it shall be opened unto you. For everyone that
asketh receiveth, and he that seeketh findeth, and to him that knocketh, it shall be opened.’
Gasan remarked: ‘That is excellent. Whoever said that is not far from Buddhahood.’
You got it.

Everything visual is an illusion. The judgement is experienced as real. Experiences are illusory, like dreams. You experience dreams but they are not real.
I'm tired of explaining these things.
Goodnight.
Jiun, a Shingon master, war a well-known Sanskrit scholar of the Tokugawa
era. When he was young he used to deliver lectures to his brother students.
His mother heard about this and wrote him a letter:
‘Son, I do not think you become a devotee of the Buddha because
you desire to turn into a walking dictionary for others.
There is no end to information and commentation, glory and honor. I
wish you would stop this lecture business. Shut yourself up in a little temple
in a remote part of the mountain. Devote your time to meditation and in
this way attain true realization.’
