Most (traditional) systems of transformation teach a graduated path, because it’s both safer and more effective long term. My teacher explained it, something like, «why try to build your own spaceship, when generations of experts spent 2000+ years perfecting this one?» .. Not saying their program/method doesn’t work - I’m just questioning if they took just the rocket, and forgot about (or don’t know about the need for) things like life support and a reentry capsule etc etc. Also, something like shamata (calm abiding) meditation can improve the effectiveness of a sniper. But is that really the best way to use such tools? Like giving a screw to someone without explaining what it’s for. They can put it in their nose if they like, but it doesn’t really do much good there.
