N,N-dimethyltryptamine (DMT) is a serotonergic psychedelic that produces short-lived peak effects when administered intravenously as a bolus dose.

Bidel Dehlavi, one of the most prominent poets of the Indian style, views existence through a deeply philosophical and mystical lens. His poetry embodies spiritual experience and metaphysical contemplation. A striking feature of Bidel’s worldview is the presence of paradox—not merely as a literary device, but as a means of expressing the mystical perception of truth. Through apparent...

Plotinus’ mysticism is a controversial field of study. While some scholars see in it the essential aspect of his system, others consider it to be of little importance. Interpretations of the “mystical union” with the One also differ from monistic to theistic, and the debate seems to be far from an ultimate conclusions. This paper is an attempt to find a different approach to this problem,...

. In this article, bodily experience is considered as a fundamental foundation for the formation of a sense of coherence, particularly under conditions of prolonged stress and uncertainty. Building on Aaron Antonovsky’s theory of salutogenesis, we propose to expand the concept of coherence by incorporating the bodily dimension-that is, bodily awareness, the perception of bodily states, body...

William Butler Yeats is one of the literary pillars of twentieth century modernism. He was interested in the mystical and mythical elements of the dominant cultures of the world. Accordingly, he interpreted history in a context that broadly negotiated with magic, the occult, theosophy, alchemy, astrology, mythology, mysticism, and religion. He was not attracted to any specific culture, even...

This thesis embraces the disciplines of philosophy, art history and practical theology. It is concerned with the ways in which artists have endeavoured to express the numinous or point towards the Transcendent through landscape painting. The Transcendent is described as that recognition in mankind of the capacity of knowing truth intuitively, or of attaining a scientific knowledge of an order...

After fourteen years of wandering across Asia, Alexandra David-Neel became the first Western woman to enter the forbidden city of Lhasa in 1924. To get there, the explorer passed herself off as an old Tibetan beggar, a metamorphosis that was not only physical but also spiritual, marking her identity and enabling her to transcend cultural boundaries. The body certainly affects the mind by...

Abstract This article aims to accomplish two goals, one miniscule and one gargantuan. As a footnote to Brook Ziporyn’s Experiments in Mystical Atheism (2024), I show how his brief discussion about Mormonism can be expanded to read Mormonism as a part of the mystical atheist tradition Ziporyn constructs. By examining the ways Latter-day Saint thought understands divine persons as embodied, and...
