I didn't say anything involved was "offensive"! I am ambivalent about "western science", it's very useful, there are also other modes of inquiry and discovery that are useful. However, it's funny to think that one might do lots of meditation and consciousness altering meditation, which some people say can lead to some form of enlightenment, spiritual calm, and/or compassion for humanity, and instead it leads you to sum up those who don't follow your directions as "mindlessly scrolling, eating hamburgers and watching football" in a generally contemptuous screed.

That was not a reference to "those who don't follow your directions". As stated in OP's comment, it was clearly aimed at those who would outright laugh about these spiritual matters, simply because OP pointed out that such practices might also develop special abilities at some point. It's absolutely a fair remark.
