If you are interested in getting in touch with your inner mystic in a well thought out method try Anthroposophy. The guy who started it had all the credentials of a top scientific scholar and had deep training in the esoteric schools of his time.

I heard a discussion a while ago between Jordan Peterson and Bishop Robert Barron that touched on psychedelics and mysticism. Bishop Barron basically suggested that a psychedelic trip might be akin to a mystical experience, but without the framework of religious values, and the discipline of fasting and prayer, we have a harder time making sense of it.

Have you ever tried a psychedelic?

What drove the Bishop to make such a comparison?
