i listened to spontaneous illumination last week and i was so amazed.last time i had this emotion in an ambient release was with the debut from shpongle(this impression in a psy trance release was about6-7 years ago   )

they create magical,goaish melodies.they have the style of aggresive melodic ambient.i almost could dance to anyone of their tracks.i am very happy that i din't miss them.

No, I didn't experience an astral projection yet, but still can say that it is not a psychedelic experience, simply by the meaning of the word psychedelic.

 

 

The word psychedelic, is derived from psyche = mind and delic = light (as you correctly pointed out in the other "Psy" topic) but hadn't been used as such before Humphrey Osmond  coined the term in the mid 50th, to describe the effects of mind altering cemicals such as LSD.

 

And since you are calling a psychedelic experience "a meaningless chaos of the mind introduced by drugs" you seemingly have no clue what you are talking about.

I am not but you seem to.

Your explanation for a psychedelic experience is that the term was coined in the mid 50th. So are we purely talking about semantics ?

 

In any case lets agree that it is an altered state of mind.

And that the word psychedelic in his contemporary use (semantics) implies different things not only drugs, which in its origin might or might not have.

Thanks for the info sherlockalien

[psy and drugs]

Astral Projection is an OutOfBody-Experience, not a psychedelic experience.

 

Uhmmm.... did you ever have an astral Projection?

You mean a real psychedelic experience is a meaningless chaos of the mind introduced by drugs?

[What is psy?]

Interesting opinions people...Youve enlightened me 

I always saw psychedelic as being what it meant - taken from the greek

psyche = mind

delic = light

meaning light of the mind or enlightenment?

If this is enlightenment - have i just had a psychedelic experience??

 

My opinion would be that almost anything / situation can be psychedelic - if your in the right frame of mind...

Exactely!

It is after all a mental state.

It is a profound state of intensified perceptions, which can be triggered by different things.

Music - Meditation - drugs - etc..
