And so here, we have a model if you will and that's the psilocybin given under these conditions in which we can quite reliably produce these effects in most people that we study. And so that opens up the prospect of doing prospective scientific investigation of these reorganizational experiences that we're gifted with through our evolutionary biology, the purpose of which we don't understand, and there's a huge...and it relates kind of to this core sense of existential awareness.
