Wait! I just thought of another shroomery experience, that was absolutely quintessential to my life
So I had just registered to the boards, and posted a big, long rant of psychobabble on P&S about Robert Anton Wilson & synchronicity. Do you at all remember the poster gnrm23?? The guy invites me to a psychedelic festival, WinterStar, and no more than a week later I'm meeting Robert Anton Wilson in the flesh ------- and we're both wearing the same red 'Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Heart's Club Band' shirt. He's in a wheel chair, gnrm23 right next to me, and I hold his glass of water while he flips through _The Game of Life_ by Timothy Leary (RAW did the intro) that I had just bought from The Association of Consciousness Expansion book store. He laughs and jokes a bit, and I ask him about Christopher S. Hyatt (which he had co-authored a book with) and said he could be a bit intimidating at times, and he roared 'oh, he's a big pussycat'.... Then I walked in and watched Rev. Ivan Stang give a devival..... cwazy cwazy.
Best story I've ever read on the shroomery. What an experience!

I wonder if these delusions have a tendency to lead to a greater understanding of the topic of the so called hidden message?

Ok I'm confused, is the question regading magic spiritual psychic messages, or is the question regarding intentional esoteric concepts or messages, potentially with spiritual significance??
Thanks, I should've written the initial post better, I didn't think about phrasing or word choice much. I actually essentially meant to ask about both of the things you described.
Thanks to all for sharing your insights.

Timothy Leary died laughing in his wheel chair Saw some video about him celebrating his death online
Something to consider ;-) Personally I think that is the best attitude to have, ready for next life or death at any time
Not that I like to listen to him but I like his attitude, he reminds me of me No worries positive thinking

Words like delusion and subconscious are just abstractions we use to avoid truly confronting the unknowable.

I disagree. Not when you say 'maybe', like I did, in reference to the subconscious. That's implying anything but certainty. Try on a way of looking at the world, see what it has to offer, and then discard it to try on something else is precisely confronting the unknowable.
-------------------- Everything is better than it was the last time. I'm good. If we could look into each others hearts, and understand the unique challenges each of us faces, I think we would treat each other much more gently, with more love, patience, tolerance, and care. It takes a lot of courage to go out there and radiate your essence. I know you scared, you should ask us if we scared too. If you was there, and we just knew you cared too.

There is just a way to riddle the 'space' into someone's experience with words. Call it temporary enlightenment or just an epiphany or something. Once you have been where others haven't you have a unique vantage point that can be communicated cryptically and effectively.
I went straight to hell though so... But as xmas passed I've been relieved of some of the more disturbing shit that I've been plagued with over the years.
Peace be with you.
