And look up the meaning of
"skimmed". I carefully applied it, to make it clear I was open to further information. I deployed it
three times to indicate that I was in no way writing authoritatively. But no, you decided you know how stupid I am and you decided I am closed minded so you proceeded to a slam rant.
Another reply gave information without the invective.
What takes you decades took me about a year.
You know nothing about my training or experience or duration. Yet you have decided that it took me decades to achieve whatever you achieved (that you left undescribed and unspecified). Did your 40 years include mind-reading? I have no expectation of ever achieving that.
I surmise (I do not know) that you may have done Gateway after other stuff and experience. In other words, you may have (I do not know) built on a foundation and attributed results entirely to Gateway. Or was Gateway your very first training / step?
When I wrote "Start with meditation, get some skill at it and branch out from that foundation", you seem to have missed the meaning of "start" and "branch out".
Start means "to begin". It does NOT mean only do that.
It does NOT preclude other practices like Gateway or Silva. But you decided that when I wrote "start" I did not mean start.
"Branch out" means to be open to explore further, not restricted to simple basic meditation.
I most often try to write plainly and clearly but apparently not plainly and clearly enough.
Biden is a great President. Disbelieve that and fact check it.
