    A lot of drugs that give you uncontrolled mental energy will give you focus, insight or creativity, in short uncontrollable doses. In the same way that burning down a building will let you see into rooms that you never were familiar with before. For a short time.

    I have heard that meditation can give you the same type of experience and insight without destroying you while you are doing it. I can’t say I know for sure, but I can believe it.
