Even the "slow road up" is open to misinterpretation and delusion.
"Altered states" produced by drugs *may* be educational (in that you
can find out what hapens when they are taken) but their propensity for
delusion and/or misinterpretation is high.
The important thing is what you have called "the connection to the
higher mind" - once this is firmly established by practise and repeated
experience in the everyday waking state, then the connection can be
made (when necessary) at will, without any other aids.
My .02 and my experience.
