One does not need any previous experience before IIH, it is made for 
the beginner on up. The next 2 books require you to have at least 
progressed through step 8 of IIH.
About the V.O.M > it is an absolutely necessary preliminary, but at 
this point is not intended to give a deep mystical experience. VOM is 
a preliminary for almost all genuine mystical teachings, including 
yoga (other than Hatha), taoist meditations, even for Carlos 
Castaneda. The state can deepen into many others, 
including "intuitive knowledge", aspects of Akasha, the experience of 
the " void" as it is termed by various Buddhist/Indian sects, etc. 
One thing to realize is that there are many other kinds 
of "knowledge" than just thoughts, which you will find from 
experience as you progress. There were no others answers to your 
questions currently, so I thought I'd chime in. Please consider these 
statements the opinion of no-one, and judge them on their own merits.
