Near-death experiences (NDEs) cannot be defined merely as a collection of phenomenal features. An accurate definition needs to describe what NDEs essentially are, that is, what lies behind the phenomenal features. The definition would describe what happens in the experience to account for the different features; this can only be fully described in the context of an underlying theoretical...

As humanity has been utilizing psychedelic substances for millennia, much knowledge has already been accumulated about the exploratory potential and therapeutic power of the psychedelic-induced nonordinary states of consciousness (NSC).

Furthermore, few studies have focused on how an explicitly religious framing may impact the outcomes of such practices. In this online randomized controlled trial (N = 702), we tested the well-being effects of a contemplative prayer...

Psilocybin is a widely studied psychedelic substance that leads to the psychedelic state, a specific altered state of consciousness. To date, the relationship between the psychedelic state's neurobiological and experiential patterns remains undercharacterized because they are often analyzed separately.

Resumen En esta investigación nos apoyamos en la espiritualidad, la mística, la filosofía, la psicología transpersonal e integral, la física cuántica y la creación artística para proponer la idea de que la unidad es el principio y fin del universo. En nuestra sociedad se percibe la pérdida del sentido religado de totalidad que nos puede abocar al nihilismo. La realidad hay que entenderla en...

The article examines the challenges of spiritual life in the late Middle Ages when people, unsatisfied with external ritualized expression, began searching for an individual «religious experience» that had an immediate, internal, and personal impact, the subject of which is God. This massive change in lifestyle to attain these «religious experiences» appears as a reflection of the gradual decay...
