Esoteric interpretation
The poster gives the renewed interest in psychedelics a larger spiritual meaning: a culture may be rediscovering ways to question its usual picture of reality. Here “renaissance” suggests a revival of visionary experience as well as research. Those developments need separating. Clinical studies can investigate particular outcomes without endorsing the map’s interpretation of psychedelic states as access to independent multidimensional worlds.
