I'm a big fan of meditation, and achieving alternate mental states.

Then you may see or experience what I’m saying but again it’s all within everyone. The light within me, shines within you. No drugs needed either.
Drugs are shortcuts that work, but come with consequences. I'm my experience, drugs opened my mind to meditation as a better way.
Most definitely same. I have a few articles on here on entheogens, nde’s, and states of consciousness if you care to read.
Back in the mid-90s, I became very interested in the work of Robert Monroe and the Monroe Institute. I attended a week-long workshop at the Institute meant to be a practical introduction to out-of-body experiences using their Hemi-Sync audio technology. I achieved some very deep and productive mental states, but not an OBE.
About a month later I did have one that I was able to confirm via external witness who was able to confirm that the experience I had corresponded to actual circumstances and events that took place at the same time. I've tried to reproduce it, and have had some vivid experiences, but unfortunately that was the only experience I was able to objectively confirm.
But the entire saga sparked my interest in altered states, which started with enthogens and audio manipulation, and ultimately led to meditation.
Now this is beautiful. Thanks for sharing your story.
