Mystical-Type Experiences Occasioned by Psilocybin Mediate the Attribution of Personal Meaning and Spiritual Significance

Record summary

A Johns Hopkins study examined how psilocybin-session features, especially mystical-type experience ratings, related to later attribution of personal meaning and spiritual significance. The lead is identifiable through its authors, institution, and publication title, and it can help compare noetic conviction, spiritual interpretation, and altered-state phenomenology across psychedelic and psi literatures. The study does not independently verify the metaphysical content of participants’ experiences. Interpretation depends on self-report scales, selected volunteers, supportive laboratory conditions, and the distinction between meaning-making and externally verifiable information.
