I'd like to disagree, there is nothing forcefull, you want to take it, you
know the possible effect, it reaches the mindes antipods and shows them true
reality, this same effect can be reached, the way Indains do it:
1. not eat food some days.
2. before going up the steps to the temple, drain a quart of blood from your
body.
Read Aldous Huxley's books "The Doors Of Perception" and "Heaven and Hell"
or read Allan W. Watts' book "The Joyous Cosmology".(ISBN 394-70299-9).
