When we reach a point of no return in the journey of lights, we are gone forever. Some call this death and some call it birth of a new journey. No matter what you call it, there is a divide between those who get stuck on this physical side of the world and those who have gone beyond the physicality of this side.
Think of it as going to edge of a mountain. If you step off the edge of this mountain you will fall into a valley that has no end and no way to return back to the mountain.
Think of life as this mountain and that endless valley as death. For those of us still on the mountain, we don't know where the valley leads to. We can speculate all we want but we don't know what we cannot verify.
This ambiguity is the ticket to riches for many many posers, scammers, fake gurus and numerous religions. You can postulate whatever you want about the other side that humans have not experienced and those who experienced have not come back to tell us about it.
There is a middle ground
There is a middle ground though.
What if we are able to tie the person on to a bungee jump cable and now the person takes the leap into this valley and goes as far or as little he/she wants to journey into this other world and report back to us what the other world is.
The only limitation to 'sharing this experience' with general public is that there may not be words in human consciousness that express the experience that was never experienced and returned to the world.
This is why the saints, enlightened ones and those who have come back from the dead hardly even try to explain in words and ask us to experience it in meditation or use of substance. They know what they know but they cannot vocalize what they know because there exists no language in the human consciousness that can express what this other dimension is.
Of Meditation, marijuana and food of gods
As with everything in life, there is more than one way to experience everything.
This bungee jump cord can be made of any of many things. For example, meditation, psychedelics, DMT, mushrooms, extreme devotion and more conservative route of marijuana.
The difference between the meditation and other methods of experiencing other dimension is that when you experience the other dimension in meditation - you can always find your way to that dimension at your will. With less effort in the subsequent attempts.
When these same dimensions are experienced using stimulants, then it will be a 'chance' that you have to take each time. You may have to up the dose or 'hope' or 'deceive' yourself that you are experiencing it that you hoped to.
Of all the stimulants or psychedelics out there, Marijuana when combined with meditation has stood the test of time for 1000s of years. Lord Shiva is famously believed to smoke pot and experience meditation and yoga. If you don't know, Lord Shiva is God of Yoga and Meditation, as such, his association with Marijuana and Meditation seems fitting.
Of course, I am not encouraging that you take on meditation, marijuana or psychedelics. If you do, that will show the immatured swaying mind of yours. You have to choose every step in your life by way of conscious choice and you cannot make concsious choices if your mind is swayed by every single suggestion out there!
Firm your mind, establish your path and then do whatever feels right for you knowing that you will change on your own decisions as you continue on the path.
Whether you decide to experiment with these or not, let that be your conscious choice and not a 'passed down' mandate.
Have you ever experienced the other dimension? If so, what helped you access it?
