Scaling Meditation

Still feeling deeply shaken by reading Mastering the Core Teachings of the Buddha. It really threw me off mentally. But at the same time I’m beginning to see a glimmer of a path through the problem of scaling meditation. 

I have been thinking about this a lot - is meditation just something that I do or is there a way to improve and push the skill. I think the latter. If so, do I scale it up by simply increasing time? Do I let it flow into dynamic meditation?

I think this book and its associated forum might have some of the answers I’m looking for.
