In the theology of Eastern Christianity there is a special category of “God’s fools.” This is a particular image of faith and belongs to those who have had some mystical experience. The cross is marked by reason. This foolishness of the cross is the basic process in theological interpretation. The cross should shine out even more with its foolishness against the glare of evil, as it draws one...

Abstract: This paper examines two types of transcendence and their relation to love. Ontological transcendence is a feature of metaphysical traditions such as Plotinus’s or Shankara’s that sharply distinguish ultimate reality from the space-time world. Experential transcendence is a feature of cognitive experiences whose object (if any) is neither the space-time world as a whole or anything in...

Vergleiche zwischen Meditation und Psychedelika wurden oft gezogen. Unter bestimmten Umständen können beide selbst-transzendente Erlebnisse (STE) auslösen. STE sind definiert als verbindende und auflösende Phänomene, die die herkömmliche Unterscheidung zwischen Selbst und Andere aufheben und zu einem nichtdualen Gewahrsein führen können. Diese Metaanalyse der Seed-basierten-d-Kartierungen mit...

The classic serotonergic hallucinogens, or psychedelics, have the ability to profoundly alter perception and behavior. These can include visual distortions, hallucinations, detachment from reality, and mystical experiences. Some psychedelics, like LSD, are able to produce these effects with remarkably low doses of drug. Others, like psilocybin, have recently been demonstrated to have...

This dissertation investigates the different ways that musical Americans interpreted self-transcendent experiences—that is to say, experiences that involved a merger between subjective identity and forces, agents, or spaces that transcended the individual. Conventional histories of secularization suggest that the elevation of rational thought in modern Western culture inexorably invalidated...

The article presents Heiler’s theory and summarizes the main features of the two higher types of religiosity, showing their...
