You would assume an identity of meditator.

...it shows commitment to something of which can benefit you. By the way we all meditate sometimes without knowing it. But knowing, conscious meditation is for those who wish to take that extra step. The benefits are lower stress, better introspection (knowing yourself), and finally perhaps experiences of your other, invisible self.

Mastering meditation as in literally MASTERING meditation and all possibilities of it?

Pfffffft, everything. The possibilities are endless.

You will blow up.

Just kidding.

It depends what kind of meditation practice you are doing.

There is a wonderful story about a young man who checks into the monastery, full of juice and ready to be enlightened yesterday. He asks the abbot, "How long will it take me to be enlightened?" To which the abbot answers, "About ten years." The young man says, "Ten years! Why ten years?" The abbot replies, "Oh, twenty years in your case." The man asks, "Why do you say twenty years?" The abbot says, "Oh, I’m sorry. I was mistaken…thirty years."

You would spend years sitting in what would probably be indian style. Anything else is up in the air. Perhaps the question of who is actually meditating would arise before you needed to do it for so many years.

I heard masters of meditation in Tibet have 10,000 hours of meditation under their belt. If I meditated for 1 hour a day, I'll get there in 28 years.

LOL
