I am not really clear on what you are trying to say, Taliesn, but what I meant was simply that all have innate abilities, which some I would consider gifts, and which most never tap into or "unwrap" to keep the gift analogy going. I didn't say I had to study an ancient discipline. I said the experiments therein proved things to my satisfaction. I do not accept things on blind faith and also learn better through doing things, rather than observation. Certainly, there are many paths; one need not follow and I would never presume to say so.
