Not only are there other things you can do but there are plenty of things you must do if you would become truly free. True meditation merely gives you the transcendent perspective with which you pierce through the illusory veil of maya and perceive the Oneness manifesting this whole show. But there is still a lot of work to do in becoming free of the hidden results of past actions (karma).

When you say, "Is that all I NEED to do?" you make it sound like meditation in itself is an easy thing but it is not. True meditation is not merely sitting motionless in silence trying to concentrate. Thats only the beginning and this in itself can take lifetimes to master.

There is a lot of karma to work through, lifetimes and lifetimes worth of it. We are living in these "4th, 5th, 6th etc." dimensions even now. The thing to do is to become aware of it and this is where meditation is essential. You could learn to astral travel, there are certain techniques to do that, but even they involve some form of meditation; thats is, withdrawing the awareness from the body and finding the way of escape from it through the higher chakras in the spine and brain. Besides, if all you learned to do was astral travel, you would greatly enlarge your understanding of the inner workings of the universe and experience adventures in other planes of existence but you would still unconsciously be playing a certain role in the cosmic drama. To be truly free and liberated in God is something entirely different. It involves becoming one in consciousness with God Himself, the Supreme Cosmic Intelligence running the whole show and this ultimate consumation will only come in deepest meditation.

There are plenty of books that tell how to experience the higher planes. Some about astral body projection such as those by Dr Robert A Monroe are fairly good. Just remember though that books can only point the way and only your practice of meditative techniques will allow you to do it in actuality. You could always take some drug like DMT which can give you certain experiences of it but that is a dangerous way to do it and it can do damage to your subtle bodies.

The greatest advice I can offer you is to learn an effective technique of meditation, devoted yourself to it heart and soul in a balanced way and have fun exploring the inner realms as you come closer and closer to the Infinite Loving God who is playing in and behind everything.

Best wishes to you too
