Yep. Not disagreeing.
RE: quantum mechanics, my mentioning it is mostly in the sense of wondering if the quantum plane is the "place" where our true "essences" truly live. Again though, that's just a wild speculation without any scientifical substance. I realize that, it's simply something I grew to wonder about in the last several years. I honestly can't claim any relation to anything spiritual, that's a fact that can't be denied.
RE: human cognition: IMO until science has a very detailed understanding on how is the brain temporarily altered while under the influence of various kinds of drugs, we can't do much progress there. I mean, that way your normal state would be a partial baseline, and the altered states would be something producing a different set of parameters compared to the baseline. Comparing both would give some insights, perhaps -- sounds hard as hell though.
