Well you'll find acid and shrooms much gentler, allthough with much longer effect. Also much easier to deal with for some, as the build up is slower, and it never gets that crazy... OK, on acid things can go a little 'fear and loathing'. MJ had a beautifull disolution of the ego. He clearly had no idea wtf he was, something that marks only my best acid trips generaly.
I would love for you to give extracting some DMT a shot... Its all of the show, with a most positive body high /slowly building euphoria afterwards.
Now for the silence/music thing... Music is great for shared experiences/trips... like LSD and aya and many tryptamine snuffs. Shit its even great for smokeing luuds on pot.
But for the ultimate voyages, you need to need to leave this world behind, even sobriety in an isolation tank could match or exeed the experiences you had so far. You need to start thinking about the significance of what you experienced so far... How all that you required to exist, was to exist, to perceive, regardless if you know who or what you are. When you arive every sensory nerve will receive all the data it could possibly ever handle, without needing to add your own carnival lights and music.
