Description

Description from OpenAlex (opens in a new tab)

The similarities between the experiences near death and drug experiences have often been stressed. This chapter goes a step further in providing evidence that the consumption of morphine, hashish, and especially more potent hallucinogens such as LSD in the 1960s and 1970s are to be identified as a major component, or “push factor,” of the emerging discourse on near-death. Not only were several near-death experiences triggered by drugs—in addition, this chapter observes shared beliefs of “psychedelics” and Gnostic–Esoteric “near-death experiencers.”
