Enchanted consciousness revisited – Ayahuasca visualizations and Sartre's ideas on hallucination
Journal of Psychedelic Studies – March 09, 2026
Summary
Ayahuasca hallucinations reveal profound insights into consciousness, challenging traditional views. By analyzing 100 participants' experiences with ayahuasca, Benny Shanon’s phenomenological cognitive psychology highlights aspects of enchanted consciousness overlooked by Sartre. The study illustrates the concept of "double bookkeeping," where individuals navigate two realities—one delusional and one grounded. This phenomenon contrasts with typical psychological interpretations, suggesting that psychedelic experiences can reshape our understanding of the unconscious mind and offer new perspectives on how we perceive reality through altered states of consciousness.

Out on a (Phantom) Limb: Variations on the Theme: Stability of Body Image and the Golden Section
Perspectives in biology and medicine – December 01, 1969
Summary
Psychodysleptic drugs profoundly disrupt how the brain computes visual information, interfering with our psychological ability to correct distortions. College-age volunteers given 160-200 µg/kg psilocybin lost approximately 2 prism diopters in correcting visual space. This neurological interference impacts body image stability, a theme explored through concepts like the Golden Section, relevant to psychosomatic disorders and pain management, including phantom limb phenomena. This understanding informs medicine and historical studies on perception and its treatments.
