That's pretty neat. But the cartoon could use a few more frames, because a lot of those sprouts end badly.
This business of sprouting humans is even more perilous than growing mushrooms.
Matthew 13
3 Then He spoke many things to them in parables, saying: “Behold, a sower went out to sow. 4 And as he sowed, some seed fell by the wayside; and the birds came and devoured them. 5 Some fell on stony places, where they did not have much earth; and they immediately sprang up because they had no depth of earth. 6 But when the sun was up they were scorched, and because they had no root they withered away. 7 And some fell among thorns, and the thorns sprang up and choked them. 8 But others fell on good ground and yielded a crop: some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty. 9 He who has ears to hear, let him hear!”...
24 Jesus told them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field. 25 But while everyone was sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and went away. 26 When the wheat sprouted and formed heads, then the weeds also appeared. 27 “The owner’s servants came to him and said, ‘Sir, didn’t you sow good seed in your field? Where then did the weeds come from?’28 “‘An enemy did this,’ he replied. “The servants asked him, ‘Do you want us to go and pull them up?’ 29 “‘No,’ he answered, ‘because while you are pulling the weeds, you may uproot the wheat with them. 30 Let both grow together until the harvest. At that time I will tell the harvesters: First collect the weeds and tie them in bundles to be burned; then gather the wheat and bring it into my barn.’”

Is'nt Meditation about going from restless-boredom to most peaceful-bliss? I've never experienced full on ego death/oneness, though the process to it for me has been peaceful onto peace, happiness unto happy, when well I feel the pain?

I thought meditation was about gaining control of the mind and coming to know it's true nature. The 'peaceful bliss' and all that are called Jhanas and though they are pleasant, and experiencing them is a sure sign you are on the right path, ultimately they are hindrances to complete enlightenment.

The buddha described the Jhanas as the "Bliss of nirvana", following the bliss of meditation will lead to the ending of the five lower fetters, making you a non-returner, to be a full Arahant you will eventually have to give up the delight of Jhana though.
after 6 years of severe aescetism, the Buddha to be remembered a memeory when he was 12 under a rose apple tree where he experienced Jhana, he thought, "why am I afraid of a pleasure that has nothing to do with sensual desire nor unwholesome states?"...and the rest is histroy, the bliss of meditation is the buddhist path.
