If you are not as happy as you used to be, chances are you are not meditating properly. You may be trying to skip steps. You are using power incorrectly. Your motives are not pure. You don't vibrate quickly.

Keep the deepest feelings of your heart to yourself. They tend to stay more pure if you do. There is a wisdom to that.

When your mind is tranquil and at peace with the universe, when it has become void of all thought - you become meditation.

Computer science really involves the same mindset, particularly artificial intelligence.

Tantric Zen is for someone who is really broad-minded. It is Bodhidharma's Zen, your Zen, my Zen. Which doesn't mean I have a problem with Japanese Zen. Most Japanese Zen is minding your p's and q's.
