Ali, I'm not saying it made me a saint, but I am saying that it made me experience something so totally beyond that I had never experienced before, and I guess maybe I'm more firmly rooted to the sensory world than some people, but with me that does not typically happen. As I said, chemically, it just acts on your perceptual regions, and that action can be used to enhance your perception of reality, or to "chase gnomes". Either are possible, it just turns up the volume, in a way.
Taha, I don't quite know what to say about yours. It's wonderful that you are able to do that, I guess, but I can't. Most of the time, though I meditate and know that this world is a dream, I am mostly tuned in to a normal perceptual functioning that allows me to function in day-to-day life, and I'm not able to switch back and forth so easily. I know that it isn't something that is ONLY from the drugs, after all, all they do is turn up the volume. So whatever we experience on them was already latent within us. But I have to say that the only thing that even remotely compares is deep meditation, for me. I wish I could just switch it on like that, but it is not the case with me at this current space/time nexus. What do you do in these "teaching sessions" anyway?
