I think most experienced Yogi's will just tell you that the dope is unnecessary, as they can will their consciousness into similar states anyway without it. Though my use of it is, as a mild psychoactive, increased astral/energetic perception. The heighened imagination is useful for psi oriented work, if you have a good enough handle on yourself to do it with a handicap to your self control. For that reason, I find it better for "exploritory" work than serious ritual use when working in a group.
As for music, try Juno Reactor for some good psy trance. Beyond the Infinite and Bible of Dreams are simply astoundingly good CDs that way. Psychic TV is often not really music at all, by the way, so much as audio magickal workings. Neat stuff. Coil does that sort of thing too. Some other neat ones are Sphongle, Atom Heart, Amon Tobin, Bill Laswell, and Boards of Canada. That's enough to break you good to start |
