Not really, he didn't say God isn't real, but that God doesn't free you from suffering.

Anon, any genuinely strong experience necessarily changes one's mindstream, for better or worse. Consequently, when someone experiences rapture and bliss in meditation, they retain that bliss for at least several hours "off the cushion." The idea that it's a feeling you only have during meditation is a mistake.The goal of jhāna is to counteract (and not suppress!) the five hindrances: lust, ill will, sloth-and-torpor, restlessness-and-worry, and doubt. Someone who can enter jhāna at will can then easily replace unskillful tendencies with skillful ones. He becomes independent from the world; as Ajahn Sona (PBUH) says, he no longer depends on sensual pleasure. He's "retired with a pension" and has the upper hand. The Dhammapada rightly states that one day with jhāna is better than a hundred years without it.You can clearly see how jhāna counteracts the five hindrances:
> Lust is counteracted because you no longer depend on sensual pleasures.
> Ill will is counteracted because you experience profound bliss daily.
> Sloth-and-torpor is counteracted because jhāna energizes the whole system.
> Restlessness-and-worry is counteracted because jhāna pacifies the mind.
> Doubt is counteracted because jhāna gives you direct confidence in the teachings.As I said, I only have limited experience with Ajahn's (PBUH) instructions. I've only attained the breath nimitta so far, which is a cool and joyful feeling. It's always nice to experience, but it's obviously not the full bliss of jhāna, which requires more practice and greater restraint in one's conduct.However, I can now "evoke" this nimitta off the cushion and have that subtle, cooling and appeasing sensation (think of the feeling of being at the beach) with me wherever I go.
