No drugs, no flagellation, no fasting and no heavy breathing in my instance.
I actually don't remember what I did, I wasn't exactly planning on being a religious nutjob, it just sort of happened.
The only precondition as far as I'm aware, in my own experience, is to be honest, open-minded, nuture the imagination and generally be child like.
I wish I did know how to recreate the experience, but I'm sure it's a pretty simple procedure.
Interestingly though I did go through an amoral phase during this transformation. Good thing I was living in social isolation, otherwise I could have done some damage. Maybe that's why it's important to withdraw from society. It is like all inhibitions (social in the majority of cases) are stripped away leaving a naked beast, my "true self" it may seem. However even this is stripped away, leaving a child, at this stage I turned into a pussy, but in a good way I suppose. We are conditioned to be aggressive and uncomprimising to defend ourselves in society, and what the world needs isn't another asshole, it needs an effortless kindness. Effortless because it requires no action from the individual, that "light unto the world" only has to shine.
I honestly can't remember much of that time, but I'd like to say one thing. There are many people that talk of their religious experiences in terms of "endless bliss" and "oneness", if you hear that, know that it is bullshit. A real religious experience is hell, literally my friends, literally. You have to descend into the underworld before arising into the heavens. It's not a pretty sight, not an easy journey, there is great pain and suffering and a awesome despair when you fall into the abyss.
It makes my skin crawl just thinking about it. But in this time of great despair something happens. Don't ask me what, you'll just have to see for yourself. And anyone can.
