Once that is achieved, there are probably infinite ways that the state of meditation can be used. But without any control whatsoever upon your thoughts, you can't really reach a deep state IMO.
Some people reach gnosis by overloading their brain, I think there are just as many ways as we can think of. Ra did say there is no better way to meditate too.
Your last statement is true too. Maybe people derive different benefits from certain types of meditation. The reasons may be that they're at a different level or that they're mind resonates with that specific form of meditation. Everybody's mind is different. It could be the same thing as not understanding why somebody likes a certain type of music. They just simply do.
