This was interesting to me because I thought it would lead to "special powers" be it psychic abilities, healing abilities, the ability to astral project, etc. I do not believe these things any more. However, the phenomenological experiences produced by these practices are still interesting in their own right because they are distinct, repeatable and normally not experienced in the gross body.
The only potential value that I can see at the moment is some of the more sexual practices: 1) can cause the gross world to drop away briefly*, 2) can cause massive peak experiences of "the whole planet is in this together, we're all free, there are no gods" variety, 3) can make sexual activity more "intense," 4) can create emotional euphorias and dysphorias.
*I haven't been able to replicate this but I've been able to replicate just about everything else.
Even with my dismissive attitude, I still have a love for these practices, and there is something about them...
