    Entheogens in a religious context: The case of the santo daime religious tradition.G. William Barnard - 2014 - Zygon 49 (3):666-684.
    This essay first draws upon the work of William James and others to propose a nonphysicalistic understanding of the relationship between the brain and consciousness in order to articulate a philosophical perspective that can understand entheogenic visionary/mystical experiences as something other than hallucinations.
