During my daily glance at ScienceDaily . com I came across this fascinating article about people who had profound mystical experiences, including those induced by psychedelic drugs, having positive mental health benefits. The thing I found most amazing was out the thousands of people who reported having experienced personal encounters with "God" or "ultimate reality", researchers reported that more than two-thirds of self-identified atheists shed that label after their encounter, regardless of whether it was spontaneous or while taking a psychedelic.
Speculation arises that over the thousands of years human use of natural psychedelics likely formed the basis of many of the world's religions.
It suggests to me that there may be a veil over our reality that is lifted by psychedelics and extreme mystical experiences, revealing a consciousness normally hidden from us. In the very least it's interesting to ponder. Read the article
