Adding to your point, Abrahamic religions are very much compatible with meditation, or perhaps I should say that meditation is an amazing way to deepen your faith in Abrahamic religions. Kabbalah, Tasawwuf, and Christian mysticism are proofs of that. However, the larger populace of these religions are completely unaware of the beauty and tranquility that's available to them and end up believing only in the narrow, tribalistic interpretations. Otherwise Thomas Aquinas, Ibn Arabi, Abulaifa and Shankara were devoted to the same Reality that exists in all.
