I remember reading eons ago,  another lifetime,  that the experience  
of LSD was similar to that of  schizophrenia.    Current research  
shows that it apparently doesn't do that,  but it does do something a  
bit similar.    If a similar experience is found in nature,  perhaps  
there are people who can get into an LSD-like trip without the  
drug.   Some might even be able to control it but that's another  
thing about LSD,  it's not about control.

But, at least taking LSD gives one a chemical reason for the altered  
state. And, the chemical reaction wears off. When one gets into  
extreme non-ordinary states by using the mind and thoughts, in  
Western society they often get labeled psychotic or schizophrenic,  
and there's always a psychopharmologic solution to regain 'control.'  
Mr. Grof himself was aware that these non-chemically induced states  
are not (always) pathological, and edited a book to give Westerners  
some understanding of such, and set up a coomunication network for  
people who land there and would like some guidance for navigating the  
waters.
