I know my comments will probably be met with derision, but here goes. The first year after I received k, I didn't practice or follow Prem. I continued my hippie sex, drugs, rock and roll lifestyle. This included LSD. during that time without physically practicing the techniques, I experienced all four techniques without even trying. A light brighter than the sun, celestial cosmic prog jazz bands, and a nectar sweeter than honey and smelled more fragrant than gardenias. I can't explain it. I didn't attribute it to Prem. I have had similar cosmic experiences since leaving Prem and k. I think it is an essential part of who I am. This also includes many past life memories before Prem and after Prem. "There are more things in heaven and Earth....." My experience of life is essentially that we are cosmic beings living in a meat suit for just a few moments. These experiences predated my use of psychedelic substances, and expended well after as well.
