In some personalities they will lead to what you call a mystic experience. They will carry the personality into new realms of perception. They will momentarily break up usual patterned organizations of perception. You will see with new inner eyes. To some extent you will view some aspects of reality apart from the usual physical structures that you impose upon it as a whole. There is therefore a freedom for the inner self.

The ego indeed is a fiction, but a highly useful one. It is an artificial division, indeed ever changing, and yet the illusion of its existence must be maintained while you are in this existence. It need not be inflexible, with training. With training it will be willing to grant you much more freedom, and yet it will remain intact.

The psychedelic experience is a most fruitful one. Drugs are not a prerequisite however. In an experience without drugs, the ego loses its substantial quality momentarily. It remains however as a protection. In all our work we have been allowing the nonphysical self more and more freedom. We have been and we are expanding consciousness, and this consciousness includes the ego.
