Funny that you mention that. In the occult there are paths to enlightment. The goal is to find what the universe really intends you for/God's will/true purpose.... It is said that once you understand what your life is supposed to be then you find emience power and piece of mind. now this power being the ablity to achieve those goals that the universe has set for you. I'm not advocating this but through out history we see individuals that have had experiences in their heads for what ever reason (prolonged meditation, minimal living, and yes drugs). These experiences changed their lives. I had a similar expereince as a teenager. At the time I wasn't eating as much as i should have been, doing a lot of excersise, and truely contemplating the meaning of my life while walking through nature. I swear I heard the trees tell me that i was worth something when everyone else (human) disagreed. Was it spiritual...maybe but it was probably more brought on by biological factors that most poeple don't expeince. I felt ammazing but it was unsustainable since enventualy i returned to the instituted world of high school and ate normal like every one else. However others, like shamans, reach this state by using a combonation of ascetism and drugs to reach this state.
