Yes some did but usually only people who are already advanced from past lives.
The levels of experiences depends on the person, but as a complete beginner who haven't meditated in this life should not expect seeing God and universal wonders just from a few Thaum vibration into the 3rd eye.
HPS Maxine wrote most of the meditations available on the ToZ, she was extremely advanced even back than and some of the descriptions are based on her experiences.
So take this in account and do not ever be demotivated because of you haven't experienced what other did or anything, know that it worked and you are now getting closer to that.
In fact if you experience the things written I would say that's way above average and indicates spiritual openness, and is very good sign.
Spiritually advancing can feel slow a lot of times but be certain that many otherworldly experiences are awaiting you that you couldn't experience otherwise.
And yes there are actually miraculous things that can be experienced in time by anyone who puts in the effort.
