Psychedelics can induce profound visions with an astonishing verisimilitude that any Hollywood director would envy. These are not hallucinations, as the user understands that what they experience is not “waking” reality; furthermore, these visions occur with closed eyes. A trained observer, a psychologist, describes the power of ayahuasca, a bitter, entheogenic concoction made from shrubs and vines of the Amazon Basin to induce visions:

All things imaginable and non-imaginable can be seen with Ayahuasca. One can see all the moments of one’s life, all the people and places that one knows, Nature and the Cosmos in all their manifestations, human history and the different cultures that it has and has not produced, and scenes that lead one above the planet to the far reaches of the cosmos, to the heavens. One can see the inner parts of one’s body and the deeper strata of one’s soul, one can encounter the infinite richness of myth and fantasy, meet fairies and dragons, angels and devils, taste the nectars of the Eternal, be washed by the bounty of the Supreme Good, witness the perennial light, encounter the Divine.15
