I don't mean to imply everything has the same ontological status, but there are so many times I experienced something A) someone said was impossible or B) someone said was irrelevant, that was fun or transformative. So I don't believe those claims more than I do flying yogins.

Imagine if we went around telling everyone that certain training regimens don't work because they don't invariably produce olympic-class athletes. It feels a lot like that, sometimes. But conversely, people claim things that produce only cripples and fools are "powerful", too.

I guess teachers could be asking people what they want to "get" out of meditation before teaching any practices. I think it's fair to also inform people of what's possible beyond their current intentions, and warn that their intentions may well change as a result of practicing.

If you're meditating to increase your focus, great. I'm not sure how committed you'd have to be to see any tangible results, but just know that some of these practices are nothing to fuck with, and may produce unexpected results because you are not using them as intended.

(I'm not addressing you specifically, by the way. Just realized it may have come off that way.)

Yeah, well, I have indeed had my fair share of poking different bears. :P

Pretty sure we all have. Those bears bite back hard.
