Abstract

Examining Mystical and Psychedelic Experiences, as old as humanity itself, in a manner consistent with their nature, can open doors not only for understanding the universe but also for giving it meaning. The philosophical analysis of these states, which create special states of consciousness for solving the problem of the source of consciousness, is important. Because exceptional situations that go beyond routine in solving any problem may contain important clues for the solution of the problem. Starting from this basic logic, this study goes beyond the solution of the problem of consciousness and aimed to answer the most fundamental questions of ontology. In the introduction section, there are interpretive analyses and inferences based on short literal reviews on the subject of Mystical and Psychedelic Experiences, which includes scientific studies on psychedelic use and brain entropy. In the next section, an attempt is made to reach a holistic philosophy aimed at solving the problem of consciousness by evaluating scientific studies and philosophical theses on the levels of consciousness in living beings. In the last section, some answers developed by mystical-philosophical-religious disciplines throughout human history are examined and the holistic philosophy whose foundations were laid in the previous section is further matured. Keywords: Consciousness, Mystical Experiences, History Of Religions, Taoism, İslam
