a psychonaut is a person who experiences intentionally induced altered states of consciousness in an attempt to investigate his or her mind, and possibly address spiritual questions, through direct experience. psychonauts tend to be pluralistic, willing to explore mystical traditions from established world religions, meditation, lucid dreaming, technologies such as brainwave entrainment and sensory deprivation, and often psychedelic drugs.
goals of psychonautic practices may be to answer questions about how the mind words, improve one's psychological state, answer existential or spiritual questions, or improve cognitive performance in everyday life.
