Mystical and psychedelic experiences, which produce extraordinary states of consciousness, can help address the philosophical problem of consciousness's source. The article argues that investigating such specific cases is logically important for solving broader questions. It connects the search for consciousness's origin to ontological questions about why and how everything exists, whether nothing could exist, and what the source of existence is. The work is grounded in laws of emergence from essence, the presence of inexhaustible potential, and the absence of absolute nothingness.
A philosophical analysis of mystical and psychedelic experiences argues that these exceptional states of consciousness can provide clues for solving fundamental questions of ontology and the source of consciousness. The paper reviews scientific studies on psychedelic use and brain entropy, evaluates philosophical theses on levels of consciousness in living beings, and examines answers developed by mystical, philosophical, and religious traditions such as Taoism and Islam. It aims to develop a holistic philosophy that matures through integrating these perspectives, suggesting that understanding such experiences can open doors for both comprehending the universe and giving it meaning.
