Abstract
The goal of this paper is to show that the psychedelic experience offers a unique condition in studying spiritual imagination. The spiritual aspect is frequently present in the psychedelic experience. Psychedelic visions are not psychotic hallucinations, users often find them enjoyable, uplifting, fulfilling and inspiring experiences in spite of their frequently and shockingly transformative aspects. Furthermore, the experience is frequently accompanied by intellectual ruminations and realizations. One of the most important features of the psychedelic altered state of consciousness is its hyper-associative capacity. The flood of associations might easily lead to visions representing the world in a poetic, mythic way, quasi-mystical visions.
