Is meditation a STS act?

[Tenet Nosce]

I think you interpreted Ra as saying that, through meditation, someone could achieve enough light/love to move to 4D without having made the Choice of path. I agree with that interpretation, but it seems like it would be a self-imposed challenge--that much meditation ought to make the entity clearly see the two options and want to choose a service rather than hold back.

One would think, however I believe that highly negatively polarized beings are quite stricken with the fear of loss of individuality, that they perceive would result from graduating from this octave. So in essence, it is fear that drives their behavior, and not love.

Penetration into the eighth or intelligent infinity level allows a mind/body/spirit complex to be harvested if it wishes at any time/space during the cycle.

Lots of people, I think, have made the Choice never having meditated at all, knowingly (my hunch is that people get in a tiny bit of meditation when they lose themselves briefly staring out the window or drifting off during a lecture etc.)

I agree that meditation is not necessary. Only a useful tool. And yes, there are many forms that meditation may take. Anything can become a meditation, given intention and awareness. I think that daydreaming is in a way a pointer to these abilities... unfortunately this is largely frowned upon in our society. :-/
