Some Eastern sects selectively selected LSD and marijuana users. For example, Baba, the leader of a small Eastern sect, called the mystical psychedelic experience an overture to drawing a person into the gravitational field of his group. The experience of its members taking psychedelic drugs and psychotometics was of great importance for the recognition of irrational beliefs in this group. The important role of altered states of consciousness in the Divine Light Mission is confirmed by the testimonies of members describing the transcendental sensations they experienced during daily meditative practices.
