"The direct, hard to understand, subtle field of knowing, the Great Path, is non-conceptual (akalpana), and entirely beyond the grasp of intellectual thought. Divorced from verbal ideation, it is difficult to point out and as difficult to enquire into. It cannot be communicated through words and [therefore] is not within the scope of the neophyte (adikarmika). Nevertheless the path is to be approached through studying scriptures (sutra) of the World-Teacher and following the personal instructions (upadesa) of one's Guru-ji."

Hell fells very real. Arguably since the mind is 7 times more powerful in the bardo it would feel 7 times more real. Calling this world real is also a fallacy. To a real Buddhist Hell is not a metaphor. Gods are also not metaphors. Meditation does not stop at Shamatha. This is some Western Buddhist pseudo-intellectual feeling important by picking on stupid people.

Sure, but funny, "Western Buddhist pseudo-intellectual feeling important by picking on stupid people" and all. In fact that is probably why it is funny.
