I had been smoking quite a lot of marijuana. This incident made me stop using the drug altogether, but in my years of using it I never experienced anything like this.

When I meditated, I would try to block all thoughts- and just experience being. Maybe it is similar to transcendental meditation. There was no effort involved, just pure relaxation with no concerns or thoughts whatsoever.

Whenever my mind drifted away into thoughts about mundane life I would accept those thoughts for what they were worth, but not follow up on them.

The nice thing about meditation, was that when I had thoughts or ideas- they were crystal clear and very intense. It was like I received them, instead of creating them. It was like my whole brain was working together on a single thought- not scattered and dispersed like they usually are.
