IMHO, meditation is akin to sharpening a tool. Eventually you reach a point when it is sharp and you either put it away or put it to use. You don't keep sharpening.

Why do you need to keep secrets, exactly? Are you afraid of being judged?
Check out After the Ecstasy, the Laundry. Great book on the "after" period of all manner of spiritual experiences.
If you really want to better humanity, lay off all drugs for at least a year, and see for yourself how convincing your arguments still are. What, from this experience, can you actually bring with you as you return to the mundanity of everyday life? I appreciate your zeal, but I don't think you've learned this lesson yet. Come back, friend, and teach the world whatever remains.

I would recommend reading this for a full treatment of this feeling: After the Ecstasy, the Laundry.
There are people who stay in the monastery, or the cave their entire lives, trying to see if there is a spiritual peak even higher then the one they just climbed.
If you look for it, there will always be a higher peak. What is doing the looking?
Right! I think so as well. I know you didn't ask for it but one book I am currently reading that has given me a lot of comfort and knowledge is https://www.amazon.com/After-Ecstasy-Laundry-Heart-Spiritual/dp/0553378295 (After the Ecstasy, the Laundry). Really shows how much their is to learn about the divine or spirituality from a whole bunch of belief systems
Hey there, I understand you, it's normal, accept it and don't worry about it. After the ecstasy, the laundry by Jack Kornfield https://www.amazon.ca/After-Ecstasy-Laundry-Heart-Spiritual/dp/0553378295
Does having a sharp tool also expects the user to use it the most ethical way?
Also I haven't read the book, yet. Can you please briefly touch upon the topic?
