PSYCHEDELIC VISIONS

Republished by Blog Post Promoter

The term psychedelic is derived from the Ancient Greek words psihi (ψυχή – psyche, “soul“) and dilosi (δήλωση – “manifest”), translating to “soul-manifesting“.

A psychedelic experience is characterized by the striking perception of aspects of one’s mind previously unknown, or by the creative exuberance of the mind liberated from its ostensibly ordinary fetters. Psychedelic states are an array of experiences including changes of perception such altered states of awareness or focused consciousness, variation in thought patterns, mystical states, and other mind alterations. These processes can lead some people to experience changes in mental operation defining their self identity (whether in momentary acuity or chronic development) different enough from their previous normal state that it can excite feelings of newly formed understanding ranging from revelation and enlightenment. Psychedelic states may be elicited by various techniques, such as contemplation or meditation, which cause spiritual transcendence beyond the body and the physical universe.

Delusion or hallucination, on the other hand, can be caused by drugs, shock, accidents, operations, duress, pain, hynopsis and other external impacts that force the spiritual being to leave the body against their will.  Revelation, enlightenment, understanding and freedom are already within you.  You can reveal them naturally with study, spiritual discipline and persistence.

NOT BODIES

“The English word spirit (from Latin spiritus “breath“) has many differing meanings and connotations, most of them relating to a non-corporeal substance contrasted with the material body. The word spirit is often used metaphysically to refer to the consciousness or personality. The notions of a person’s spirit and soul often also overlap, as both contrast with body and both are understood as surviving the bodily death in religion and occultism, and “spirit” can also have the sense of “ghost“, i.e. a manifestation of the spirit of a deceased person.
