VISUALS from taking mushrooms are experienced when you see Divinity. GOD. right? follow?
from Autobiography of a Yogi by Parmhansa Yogananda
http://www.crystalclarity.com/yogananda/chap14.html
"'Your heart's desire shall be fulfilled.'
Sri Yukteswar seldom indulged in riddles; I was bewildered. He struck gently on my chest above the heart.
My body became immovably rooted; breath was drawn out of my lungs as if by some huge magnet. Soul and mind instantly lost their physical bondage, and streamed out like a fluid piercing light from my every pore. The flesh was as though dead, yet in my intense awareness I knew that never before had I been fully alive. My sense of identity was no longer narrowly confined to a body, but embraced the circumambient atoms. People on distant streets seemed to be moving gently over my own remote periphery. The roots of plants and trees appeared through a dim transparency of the soil; I discerned the inward flow of their sap.
The whole vicinity lay bare before me. My ordinary frontal vision was now changed to a vast spherical sight, simultaneously all-perceptive. Through the back of my head I saw men strolling far down Rai Ghat Road, and noticed also a white cow who was leisurely approaching. When she reached the space in front of the open ashram gate, I observed her with my two physical eyes. As she passed by, behind the brick wall, I saw her clearly still.
All objects within my panoramic gaze trembled and vibrated like quick motion pictures. My body, Master's, the pillared courtyard, the furniture and floor, the trees and sunshine, occasionally became violently agitated, until all melted into a luminescent sea; even as sugar crystals, thrown into a glass of water, dissolve after being shaken. The unifying light alternated with materializations of form, the metamorphoses revealing the law of cause and effect in creation."
an almost exact replica in the bible exists, if you find it please give the link, i forget what chapter. christ does the same thing, strikes someone on the breast and they see vibrating light

What you are exploring must necessarily be true and untrue. What is divinity to you? When looking outwards, we are always looking in. A conscious revelation can be facilitated by a psycholytic state of any sort. Mushrooms have been known to induce such states. The answer is always there, it is simply that different people open their eyes in different ways. Try to see past the duality that logical processing can lead to... For example, enlightenment vs. non-enlightenment...
