Synchronicity

The difference is that they got to their skill level gradually and their understanding of what they did grew with their skill. You got there suddenly and your sudden improved performance defies explanation by your current level of understanding.

I find this to be the case in terms of "energy work" with DMT. Though I am scarcely familiar with Qi Gong, DMT summons mass amounts of this energy (seemingly) which moves my body in precise Qi Gong-like postures on contact. I have learned to summon this energy during meditation with breathing and concentration, but were it not for the DMT, I never would have figured out how to sense or manipulate this energy, and also it's not as powerful when I summon it through meditation, though I imagine a skilled and trained Qi Gong master could probably easily summon such energy. It seems that as with all other things in life, even this energy work improves with practice. With DMT, it's like having the training wheels on - not as much is "expected" of your skill level, but the results are full and instantaneous. The more I read what I quoted from you above, the more accurate it seems across the board and not just relating to energy.
