I sense a lot of dismissive response, mostly it seems from people who didn't read the article. For what it's worth, of my friends who did psychedelics, they were much more likely (even the fairly strong-minded ones) to come out of the experience trying to articulate the following ideas:

- Everything is connected - I'm a piece of the larger system - Inanimate objects have feelings / matter

Of course I reject all of these notions as clumsy to absurd.
