      It's hard to quickly summarize my thoughts. One thing that keeps reoccurring to me though is "it feels like an infomercial."

      Maybe it's in the verbosity, maybe it's in the "[MILD/WILD] don't [really] work" (which is bound to raise some eyebrows with this audience).

      But I will reserve judgement until I see the meat. In general I don't have a lot of patience with long prose that whips up the reader into a frenzy of excitement without actually delivering anything. In my experience, the longer such excitement-building sections go on, the less real the "meat" is later on (or it's non-existent entirely).

      So, "where's the beef?" I'll wait for now

      (And did you really spend 15 years of intense every-day practice with gurus, etc., and never got beyond 10% LD frequency? LaBerge himself after about a year of work got supposedly to almost "at-will" with "just" MILD. Is he an outlier?)

      Laberge says that in his book, but doesn't he also say that he only had 100 and some LDs at the end of his first year? Doesn't sound like at will to me.
