I went a similar way, with the experimenting and figuring it out.

I started with concentration. It was my own personal magic power.

Then I found vipassana. Then I did concentration and vipassana together for a while. That was a bit too much.

Now I do just vipassana. It’s great.

Also, as I said elsewhere in this thread, right after free I’d put “it gets you high”. Because everybody likes to get high.
