What you learn from the mental states gained via meditation is largely a process of sensitivity to your own fabrication of those mental states. >You put your mind through this extreme experience and your mind will naturally try to make something of it - but the odds of it picking any truth out of this pile of nonsense are slim. >>1687301> huffing paint fumes and smoking crack You will NEVER gain anything worthwhile by taking the short and easy route and it's hard to imagine anything that fits that description more than, "Hey, swallow this pill and you can learn the truth about your mind/reality/etc".
Two things. You are seem to be misunderstanding how psychedelics work. The psychedelic experience is not "external". It is not that you introduce the drug and then the drug "tells" you messages or "causes" the experience. Most psychedelic hallucinogens work on the serotonic 5-HT2a receptors because they have a higher affinity for serotonin. This means that when LSD-25 gets near a serotonin recepot your body puts it in there instead of serotonin because its naturally a better fit. Many hormones that are endemic to the human body are released during certain situations, like adrenaline. The resulting subjective experience from taking LSD-25 is as natural as an adrenaline rush from getting scared by a big dog that surprised you. Say in the moment of the dog barking behind you time felt like it slowed down. The dog is an external source that triggers a perceptive change in your subjective experience. Perhaps this traumatizes you and you are don't trust big dogs. Now when you are walking at night you look behind you to make sure there are no big dogs.
How does a man born in a locked room who as never seen a dog meditate the concept of checking behind him for dogs?
