psychedelics

A shortcut or hack that allegedly disrupts left-hemisphere translation and shifts attention to right-hemisphere perception of vibrational reality.

Drugs that Jiang says can shift the neural system so people see the world differently and have visions.

A student compares psychedelic experience to heightened awareness of relational energy, making it a comparison point for the altered consciousness discussed in the class.

Jiang suggests the Divine Comedy may produce a consciousness comparable to psychedelics if read with sufficient total commitment rather than superficially.

A student says psychedelic revelation often ends at a truth the Divine Comedy states with greater clarity, while personal trips are flawed rewritings filtered through personality.

A student contrasts psychedelics with literary priming by saying psychedelic experience almost guarantees a felt change, strips away ordinary social habits, and returns the user to a more animal or nature-proximate state.

Jiang insists that a satisfactory explanation of psychedelics must name a neurological mechanism rather than staying at the level of subjective description.

Jiang defines great art as something that enters universal consciousness and can, through long practice, take possession of readers in a way comparable to religion or psychedelics.

A student says psychedelic experience resembles Dantean elevation and creativity but still lacks the same stable will, purpose, and directed mission.

Another student drifts toward a Matrix-like or psychedelic-perception frame in which creation is a staged experience meant to affect consciousness, not straightforward reality.
