TRIPSCAPES: LSD ART FROM STAN GROF'S PSYCHEDELIC EPIC -- LSD PSYCHOTHERAPY |

Above. The 'psychedelic breakthrough' during a perinatal experience. The lower part of the painting shows a scatological area which the patient described as the 'quagmire' of her unconscious: numerous dangerous animals represent the negative emotions. In the upper part a heavenly blue tunnel symbolizes rebirth and transcendence. The patient is sitting on a porpoise-like animal made friendly by the presence of the divine element. She is represented as a little naked princess with a golden crown, a divine child. This experience was related to the moment of biological birth ('crowning'). |
