There seem to be a lot of meditative teachers who are genuinely malicious. I met a meditation teacher today who was nothing but an angry bully towards me despite her attempted veneer of presence. Subtle but intense and conscious anger. Meditation culture is not prepared for them.
Our integrated world model is more perceptual than symbolic. Proving a property of a nonsymbolic model means that it has to achieve stability while propagating all local model states to each other in the right way. If you succeed, you have a richer model than reason can generate.

Is there a place I can read about nonsymbolic models and that condition for proving their properties? I've never heard of either before

The full program was discovered by Hilbert and was prematurely derailed by Gödelsnd Turing, before Turing got it back on track

Your teacher may feel threatened if she thinks that symbolic reason will alienate her from perceptual truth and violate her transcendental meanings. Both of you may have to agree that reasoning is mostly a tool to operate on the perceptual model until it becomes consistent.

I think reason is mostly discarding models with details that can be chosen ad hoc to avoid any attempted refutation. Self-consistency isn't enough if the model is inherently superstitious. Most explanation was superstitious before the enlightenment/age of reason
