I never claimed to be a Buddhist and I explicitly disclaimed the value of trying to see my post as an instance of Buddhism (near the top), so I don’t know why you’ve called me one.
I prefer to be thought of as someone sharing what they know, rather than an adherent of some system.
“stumble onto” could mean a number of things. Effective meditation exercises need not be esoteric, and people can and do find them just by using their minds in certain uncommon ways. Sometimes that’s just what happens, and then they search out other people or groups who they imagine might be able to tell them something about the experiences they’ve had. Cases like those are the really suggestive ones.
