I believe that you can definitely wonder into the same territory through meditation. Some people even get there through athletics by pushing themselves really intestly. The experiences that people describe as "bad trip" can be found in the literature around buddhism, or even in the christian tradition if you examine "the dark night of the soul". There are also parallels to the more positive experiences.
- gerbilly 11y ago> the dark night of the soul I always understood this as an emptiness rather than as a "bad trip." "The dark night of the soul" usually occurs after you feel like you have made spiritual progress, in whatever tradition you practice, and then to have it suddenly disappear. The dark night of the soul is a period of disconnection, of feeling as if you have been abandoned by God, of not knowing how to get back on track.
