A psychonaut is Greek for- psyche = soul or spirit - nautes' = sailor or navigator.
So initially you have become a soul sailor/spirit navigator. Seeking altered states of consciousness via meditation, yoga, sensory deprivation, flotation tanks, holotropic breathing, entheogens, entagtogens, plant medicine, psychedelics.
We are exploring our own minds, we are exploring our own soul, we explore our consciousness. We are exploring the universe. The universe is exploring itself through our eyes.
Technically everyone is seeking altered states of reality, going to view a movie.. is for the emotions it gives us. Watching UFC or sports, the primal tribal side of our DNA. Drinking coffee or tea. Listening to music, playing video games, stepping into VR. Being an actor on television. Sipping a beer/wine. Having sex. Dreaming. These are all altered states of consciousness.
I believe before any one does a true psychedelic, they must study philosophy, yoga, meditation, holotropic breathing. You would never have "the fear," anxiety attack, panic attack, PTSD, or chronic depression. It is all being disconnected from the earth, spirit, soul, nature, the universe. The amazonians, the native American Indians, shamans... they know this. We have lost touch with our spirit. That is why we seek these altered states.

The best game ever made, unfortunately becuase it isn't Halo 3 or another Call of Duty it did not sell very well because gamers these days hate originality.
"You should buy Psychonauts, its the best game ever made and its really original!"
"Yeah but then I won't have enough money to buy some generic world war 2 game"

The field of study which relates to spending time exploring the universe right inside one's own head. Usually with drugs/yoga/meditation. These people are on a quest to discover the self, and usually can be considered "realists".
Psychonautics (from the Ancient Greek ψυχή psychē 'soul, spirit, mind' and ναύτης naútēs 'sailor, navigator')1 refers both to a methodology for describing and explaining the subjective effects of altered states of consciousness, including those induced by meditation or mind-altering substances, and to a research cabal in which the researcher voluntarily immerses themselves into an altered mental state in order to explore the accompanying experiences.
