The End Goal of Meditation

Right now, my goal is to understand what people are talking about when they say they have a transcendental experience. And so partly, you know, if psychedelics get you to the top of the mountain meditation, it's like the slow way of the mountain. But obviously it seems ideal to try and get to those sorts of states without needing drugs. So that's the goal for now. Just sort of to explore more around that side. I understand more about it and see what the hell is going on here.
