psychedelic experience might lead to deeper self-reflection or spiritual quest. It might even lead to a break-*down* that will be seen to be the break-*through* it actuality is. Which is termed a *spiritual emergency*, and it is not at all pleasant or comfortable…

We now know that one cannot jump from sensory experience to enlightenment. If one takes an entheogen (also called a psychedelic) at that first stage, the Sensory one, all one can expect is enhanced sensory experiences. At the most there is possible an opening to the Recollective-Analytic. The experience might lead to deeper self-reflection and/or the undertaking of a spiritual quest for understanding and liberation. It might even lead to a break-*down* that hopefully, sooner or later, will be seen to be the break-*through* it in actuality is. In such case it is termed a *spiritual emergency*, and it is not at all pleasant or comfortable … one’s self-esteem gets wrecked, for one thing … regardless how growthful and necessary it turns out to be. In any case, that is just the beginning.
