That's what I mean though. I'm not saying that nobody gets spiritual experiences, but rather that it's just a function of our brain.
You aren't connecting to some higher power, you're connecting to your brain in a different state. Like having the radio tuned between two different channels.
It can still be mind expanding, one thing I've definitely discovered from psychedelics is that our senses are subjective. But I think that people who are trying to find a higher meaning in life should look elsewhere, rather than drugs. Because you won't find a higher meaning, you'll just think you did, it's an illusion.
- pmoriarty 8y ago"you won't find a higher meaning, you'll just think you did, it's an illusion" So how do you distinguish the illusion from the real thing, as far as higher meaning goes?

- pmoriarty 8y agoI don't see how you could be certain you're not. Maybe you are. In any case, different people have different things revealed to them on psychedelics, and interpret those things in different ways. Some of them might be true, some not. Also, some of their interpretations of those things could be accurate or not. I'm really not sure how you could tell and ahead of time pronounce them all to be illusory or false. Let's say that someone took psychedelics and realized that love was the most important thing for them in their life, or that they need not fear death. Are these things necessarily false or illusory just because the realizations were made under the influence of psychedelic drugs? Maybe they are false, but maybe not.
