"A psychedelic [[experience]] is a [[journey]] to new realms of [[consciousness]]. The scope and [[content]] of the experience is [[Infinite|limitless]], but its characteristic features are the [[transcendence]] of verbal [[concept]]s, of [[space-time]] [[dimensions]], and of the [[ego]] or [[identity]]. Such experiences of enlarged consciousness can occur in a variety of ways: [[Senses|sensory]] deprivation, yoga exercises, [[discipline]]d [[meditation]], religious or [[aesthetic]] [[ecstasies]], or [[spontaneous]]ly. Most recently they have become available to anyone through the ingestion of psychedelic drugs such as [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LSD LSD], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psilocybin psilocybin], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mescaline mescaline], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dimethyltryptamine DMT], etc. Of course, the drug does not produce the [[transcendent]] [[experience]]. It merely acts as a [[chemical]] key—it opens the [[mind]], frees the nervous system of its ordinary [[pattern]]s and [[structures]]."
