Science

You provided the information on your training and experience with this paragraph:

I have taken some meditation training. My approach is to encourage and integrate meditative states in daily activities, sometimes called movement meditation: preparing food, cleaning, walking, gardening. I don't sit and meditate, though I probably would benefit from it, as almost everybody would.

This is not meditation. I have frequented numerous meditation forums over the years and comments like yours appear regularly. There are always people who want to think they are meditators without putting in the discipline or hard work. There are always these flimsy offshoots like "movement meditation." I do not consider you a meditator, even though it appears you think you are.

You show your naivete on the topic with your remarks about Gateway. Monroe's achievement is known by just about everyone.

Your original post blithely offers me unsolicited advice. You didn't carefully select any words, despite your protestations. In this post, you even stoop to telling me what "branch out" means. When you've achieved a few decades of regular practice, I might consider listening to you but for now your comments expose you as a poster without gravitas.
