How can I have personal experience with states of consciousness, or levels of being, or aspects of reality, beyond normal human perception, including experience and communion with a supreme being ?

d-r-u-g-s will not help achieve a higher level of consciousness, it takes your free will and attachment from what your ego thinks enlightenment is. Listen to the vibrations inside your head, and meditate on them.

Avoid the drugs, no doubt.
Go look up and understand the left brain and right brain, then find exercises that triggers the right brain into action, then focus on some serious inner meditation, then read some more on whatever it is you get out of meditation, then reread the right brain, then do it again, repeatedly over time.

No quick way to do it, but start a journey of self awareness and sooner or later, you will get there.


IMO


"KNOW YOURSELF"

Lets keep it down to earth, keep it real so to speak.

perhaps you will never find that experience or communion with a supreme being, because your searching externally, perhaps your search for something external is what draws you away from the truth of it, remember we are the being, so lets start there.

what is awareness? to me it is "to pay attention" to draw your focus in total on the subject of interest, to be the watcher or observer. that seems logical enough, you can learn a lot just by watching or observing forms.

I'm assuming your a human being? if that is the case then I'd also assume that you breath air like i do

so lets start there, breathing, its free, you can do it anywhere and you don't need to subscribe to a gathering to achieve this, as far as I'm aware, apart from actual "air" you don't need anything external to achieve this. draw your awareness to your breathing, consciously, breath, inhale, and exhale.

Just for a simple example, try this, either way its fun to experiment.

sit comfortably, relax everything, and just breath, draw your attention to your breathing, try to keep your thoughts only on the breathing, your mind will wander that's Ok in the beginning it always does. when it does, bring your focus back on your breathing, you can do this as much as you want, the idea is to exercise your focus or awareness to reduce the noise of unconscious thoughts emotions and stimuli. practice this as often as you can, the more you do it the more you will realize that your thoughts will not wander. some will identify this as meditation, i just call it breathing

afterwards, realizing that every breath is a moment in time. it is never future or past, it is only ever now.

but if that's to hard for the lazy, then i guess you can always look externally for an answer, eventually you will realize all the answers are within you and cannot be attained from something external, if you feel the need to use a label to identify this, then consider this, your god, whatever you subscribe to, isn't something outside, don't miss the point like the rest, realize as fast as you can that what your searching for is only ever within you, right now in this very moment.

The path to Jedi mind powers so to speak, begins with breathing, the rest of what you are trying to achieve will present it self in time, and you will know it when you experience it, you cant miss it ;P

i can tell u what worked for me , don't pretend to be a guide or a guru of some sorts
1)change your diet , stop eating meat , and all food derived from animals , start slowly week after week , your last goal should be eating only raw food (vegetables and fruit),avoiding processed food, sugar and salt (don't be too arsh with yourself, take it like a game or a challenge with yourself , if you win you will feel better )
2)start meditating , slowly , start with 15 minutes a day , then after a month or a week ( it s all up to you) add other 15 minutes, eg: 15 in the morning 15 in the late evening.After 2 years i meditate 1 hr a day ,it works very well for me.
3) read a lot , inform yourself , make questions , use your curiosity.
4)Talk to people freely, without blocking your tought process , let go your inner self without fear of being judged , if they judge you or watch you with strange faces/expressions , smile!
Last but not least . never give up , sometimes meditating can be hard , but it doesen't work if you do it 3 times a week , you must do it everyday , the same for you diet, you must eat healty every day .
Soon you will take life much more easier and as Ormuz said you will end up realizing that you always had the superpowers and the answers within yourself , and that your god is in you, not outside.
