Claims

Daniel does not believe propositions about God adequately capture what he means by experiencing transcendence or connection to wholeness; he has experiential connection to sacred aspects of reality but does not hold propositional beliefs about God, and too much certainty about metaphysical claims is problematic.

When you perceive reality with sufficient clarity, the sacredness of life is self-evident and obvious; it doesn't need to be argued for or constructed, it is Prima facie, and this is the primary deficit in those who ask 'why should we protect nature'—they have not had sufficient contact with nature and their own embodiment to perceive its inherent sacredness.

Psychedelics may open people to genuine contact with non-human spiritual entities in ways distinct from other mystical experiences because they function as a shortcut, but this shortcut means people enter these encounters without the preparation and knowledge frameworks that traditional shamanic or religious practices recommend, creating spiritual danger.
