Excerpts from The Psychedelic Experience

The Psychedelic Experience is essentially an Americanized abridged version of The Tibetan Book of the Dead except that transcendency or exploration of the landscape beyond normal perception is experienced through the use of LSD. As noted in Sacred Voyages, entheogens have been used for many centuries for a number of purposes, including religious ritual, soul retrieval, treatment of illnesses, finding and experiencing the Divine.
