dangerous hallucination

Inability to accept the mystic experience is more than an intellectual handicap. Lack of awareness of the basic unity or organism and environment is a serious and dangerous hallucination. For in a civilization equipped with immense technological power, the sense of alienation between man and nature leads to the use of technology in a hostile spirit – to the conquest of nature instead of intelligent co-operation with nature.

From Psychedelics and Religious Experience by Alan Watt (1968)
