[Jitendra Hydonus]

After I left the dentist office, loaded on nitrous oxide, I felt that this is the buddha-like state that people are more or less trying to work up to. And it was achieved in five minutes and the feeling of peace lasted the whole day. It was as good as any meditation I have ever done.

It is obvious that u have not meditated very deep nor have u been practicing meditation long enough or perhaps r not using techniques that would help u develop something deeper. While certain chemicals, drugs and outside sources can alter states of consciousness.... They r no equal to certain blessings from the darshan of a saint or deep meditation practice. Your honesty on the matter is good. Now what r u going to do about it? U r still young b and there is yet much for u to experience in this life. Experiences during meditation will never equal changes we make in ourselves that r a result of meditation and spiritual practice. i have already seen some of these take place in u.
