Albert Hoffman's original 250-microgram LSD trip is analyzed as a "blank canvas" report that established the death-rebirth pattern common in high-dose psychedelic experiences.

Near-death experiences often catalyze religious revitalization movements during times of intense social, political, or environmental crisis.

These movements provide a metaphysical resolution to the fear of global or societal collapse through the symbolism of rebirth.
