> For some, like in many types of Christian meditation, the purpose can be to deepen one's relationship with God. Quieting the mind or stillness might be part of a way to get there, but not the ultimate aim.

A true Buddhist would argue that divinity is within a truly quiet mind.

Who gets to decide who's a "true Buddhist" and who's not, and what relevance does that have to Christian meditation?
The words and standards of the Buddha or other masters, just like Scientology isn't true Christianity even though it has Jesus in it all Buddhist practices aren't necessarily Buddhist if they have meditation in them...

And it's also what Christian mystics like Meiser Eckert and and Gnostics also believe.
