Unfortunately many things in western culture that get close to mysticism are disregarded as hallucinations or random neurological firings.

Same goes with dreams and such. It’s the ‘religion of science’ defaulting to the ‘god’ of deconstructionism. Just hallucinations, nothing more.

I understand why, there’s certainly many things which were once said to be mystic, but ended up less so.

However, anyone who has done respectable doses of psychedelics probably agrees with me that there’s a bit more to dreams, NDE and afterlife than “random” neurological firings.
