Hi Platt,
The Wikipedia quote you gave pretty well sums it up. The Christian
experience seems to be analogous, except there's one big difference. When
one becomes a born again Christian, one has a vast set of static patterns to
latch onto (if you will). You have a community to belong to as well as
tenents and scripture to follow. When you're 'born again' after a drug trip,
you don't have any of those things to use as a guide to your 'new life'. It
can be jarring and disconcerting to have your world change but not know how
to deal with that new reality.
Of course it's not 'necessary' to trip out to experience DQ. You're
experiencing it now... and now... and now :). Hallucinogens help you to
abandon static patterns that get in the way of experiencing DQ. If you try
to latch on to 'static reality' when you're in the depths of a mushroom
binge, you're going to have one hell of a bad trip.
Other questions? :)
Rebecca
