Animals on Psychedelics: Survival of the Trippiest
"There's a dimension of awesomeness, of profound humility, of the self being stripped bare. In the psychology of religion, mystical experience is well-described-unity, transcendence of time and space, noetic knowledge, sacredness, ineffability....It's the sacred dimension of revelation, but it can be what Kierkegaard called `fear and trembling'-incredibly profound and powerful terrain to travel." Hallucinogens then do the same job as religion: they provide proof of unity, which-in humans and all other animals-is still the only known cure for fear of death."
