I’ve had similar experiences on large doses of mush. I think it’s in your head, but it’s something that your subconscious self really wanted your conscious self to acknowledge. For you, perhaps you are in the habit of “rationalizing” away profound experiences which serves to protect you from being overwhelmed by life. But sometimes you need to be swept away by life and give in to your senses. There’s truth in our subconscious reactions, truth beyond what our conscious selves can reason about.

I believe psychedelics make it easier to become religious, because they teach you how to have faith in a higher power than your conscious self. I now have a deeper trust in the universe, which is another word for God, which is another word for my subconscious.

From Jung and Freud we know how much of what we usually call reality is just projection from this unconscious world, as well as just how real and autonomous, and likely sentient, the beings that exist in this unconscious world are

Psychedelics also give the experience of something very unusual, if not extraordinary, which also pushes people towards religion. Because humans have this habit of labeling everything they don't understand as "magic", just everything. Come on humans, really???
