Now that the psychedelic renaissance is underway one question seems important: Is it the drugs, or is it divine experiences that’s making people feel better?
In our apostate culture, could the secret be that we just all need some spirituality, and these molecules are helping?
Belser says eliciting mystical-type experiences is one of the prevailing theories about why psychedelic-assisted therapy reduces symptoms in patients with depression, anxiety, and other conditions. During many clinical trials, patients are given the “ a 30-question self-report that is used to measure the effects of hallucinogens.
Florian Brand, the CEO and cofounder of Atai Life Sciences, a publicly traded German biosciences company focused on psychedelics and mental health, says it’s still speculation but the mystical experience does seem to have some significance in patient outcomes. “From a spiritual perspective, I personally can say that I wasn't religious or spiritual at all before undergoing my very first psilocybin-assisted therapy session,” says Brand. “Coming out of it, I definitely have a different access to spirituality compared to going into the session.”
Wilde says more research needs to be done but it seems that when a person has an intense psychedelic experience, they “have a bigger reset effect on the brain.”
