" "The cultural-historical meaning of the Eleusinian Mysteries, their influence on European intellectual history, can scarcely be overestimated. Here suffering humankind found a cure for its rational, objective, cleft intellect, in a mystical totality experience, that let it believe in immortality, in an everlasting existence. This belief had survived in early Christianity, although with other symbols. It is found as a promise, even in particular passages of the Gospels, most clearly in the Gospel according to John, as in Chapter 14:16-20. Jesus speaks to his disciples, as he takes leave of them:
Albert Hofmann (11 January 1906 – 29 April 2008) was a Swiss scientist most famous for first synthesizing Lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD), and years later first experiencing its hallucinogenic effects.

Der Ausdruck [Anm.: der Titel des LSD-Erfahrungsberichts „Fahrten in den Weltraum der Seele“] ist gut gewählt, weil der Innenraum der Seele genauso unendlich und geheimnisvoll ist wie der äußere Weltraum und weil die Kosmonauten des äußeren wie des inneren Weltraums nicht dort verbleiben können, sondern auf die Erde, ins Alltagsbewußtsein zurückkehren müssen.

In studying the literature connected with my work, I became aware of the great universal significance of visionary experience. It plays a dominant role, not only in mysticism and the history of religion, but also in the creative process in art, literature, and science. More recent investigations have shown that many persons also have visionary experiences in daily life, though most of us fail to recognize their meaning and value. Mystical experiences, like those that marked my childhood, are apparently far from rare.
