Mystical Experiences

[Kid A]

For some time SWIM has been reading up on psychedelics and their effects on the mindm but SWIM has one question which has not been answered. It has to do with these so called "mystical experiences."

SWIM hears about all these people having these experiences and how they changed their lives. But SWIM is confused.

Do these people actually believe what they experienced after the trip is over and they are sober? For instance, if SWIM took a large amount of LSD and saw god and talked to god, would SWIM think of this experience as just a trip simply caused by a drug, or would he see it as a real experience where he actually saw and talked to the almighty god? Or do they simply see it as a new perspective, a new idea that has been given to them by the drug?

SWIM hears about all these people believing in what they experienced and, no offense, finds it stupid that these people actually believe in what they see. This is not to say that SWIM thinks these drugs are stupid, just the gullibility / suggestibility of these people. Its like these people take what they experienced to be truth, and not just a new perspective / idea / drug induced situation.

or

does this all simply depend on the person? If SWIM has the mindset that it will show him a new idea, and not a truth, will it do simply that and just "show" SWIM a new idea?

I dont know if I am explaining this properly...
