Dr. Griffiths and his team used data from 4,285 people around the world who completed one of two 50-minute online surveys about God encounter experiences. These surveys had participants recall their most memorable encounter experience with either the “God of their understanding,” a “higher power,” “ultimate reality” or “an aspect or representative of God, such as an angel.” The surveys also asked the respondents to describe how the experience changed their lives.

 

Of the nearly 3,500 participants who saw their vision while under the influence of a psychedelic, 1,184 took psilocybin mushrooms, 1,251 took LSD, 435 took ayahuasca, and 606 took DMT, another naturally occurring substance found in certain plants and animals. Participants were about 25 years old on average if the experience occurred while under the influence, compared to 35 years old if it was spontaneous.

 

Researchers found several interesting conclusions. Among them, 75% of people who had an encounter say it was among the most “meaningful and spiritually significant” moments in their lives — so much so that it brought about permanent positive changes in their life satisfaction, purpose and meaning. In fact, the experience was so powerful that about two-thirds of self-identified atheists shed that label after their encounter.

 

The experience also caused 70% of those who used psychedelics to report a decreased fear of death, compared to 57% of those in the spontaneous segment. The non-drug group was also more likely to say they saw “God” or “an emissary of God” (59 percent) in their encounter, whereas those in the psychedelics group were most likely (55 percent) to refer to it as an “ultimate reality.”

 

All that said, the authors emphasize they do not suggest people turn to psychedelic drug use in an attempt to have a divine experience. They also note their study is also not intended to answer the question of whether there is, in fact, a God.

 

“We want to be clear that our study looks at personal experiences and says nothing about the existence, or nonexistence of God,” says Griffiths. “We doubt that any science can definitively settle this point either way.”

 

The study was published in the journal PLOS One.

How about having the experience cold stone sober?

I prefer that reality.

if rosenstein turned, has mountains of evidence, was intimately involved w/FISA warrants, didn't have a patriotic spirit to expose the temerity in which these sick fucks were engaged, what makes one think he's safe. Barr may not be in the position to keep him around if rosenstein has a bounty on his head.

 

'if rosenstein is dirty, mueller's dirty'. i do concede there may be a slight possibility that he's turned, but most of his actions are to the contrary as is mueller. a part of me hopes that indeed, they both turned and help end this charade once and for all, sorry, but i'm still skeptical.
