"The psychedelic drug 'world' of myth and ritual which is also a world of legendary and fairy tale themes and figures of archetypes and of other timeless symbols and essences, is of a more profound and meaningful order than that of the historical and evolutionary sequences. Here, where the symbolic dramas unfold, the individual finds facets of his own existence revealed in the person of Prometheus or Parsifal, Lucifer or Oedipus, Faust or Don Juan and plays out his personal drama on these allegorical and analogic terms or he finds the means of attaining to new levels of maturity through his participation in rites of passage and other ceremonies and initiations."

These dramas and adventures, made possible by LSD, are very beneficial to the person. The content and how it's done will be just what the person needs in order to solve what may have been a serious psychological problem. LSD will also bring on what will emotionally effect the person the most. All of this is completely unknown to psychiatrists and psychologists except for those who have been involved with LSD. Here is what Stanislav Grof says on page 96 of Beyond the Brain:

"Techniques that directly activate the unconscious seem to reinforce selectively the most relevant emotional material and facilitate its emergence into consciousness. They thus provide a kind of inner radar that scans the system and detects contents with the strongest emotional charge. This not only saves the therapist the effort of sorting the relevant from the irrelevant, but protects him or her from having to make such decisions, which would of necessity be biased by the therapist's own conceptual framework and many other factors."

David Solomon put together a bunch of writings by different people into a book called LSD: The Consciousness Expanding Drug. Here is something that Aldous Huxley wrote on pages. 37-38. This also mentions how, with psychedelic drugs such as LSD, a person's brain will instinctively bring the right kind of experience that the person needs. Here it is:

"Through these new psychedelics, the subject's normal waking consciousness may be modified in many different ways. It is as though, for each individual, his deeper self decides which kind of experience will be most advantageous. Having decided, it makes use of the drug's mind-changing powers to give the person what he needs. Thus, if it would be good for him to have deeply buried memories uncovered, deeply buried memories will duly be uncovered. In cases where this is of no great importance, something else will happen. Normal waking consciousness may be replaced by aesthetic consciousness and the world will be perceived in all its unimaginable beauty, all the blazing intensity of its 'thereness'. And aesthetic consciousness may modulate into visionary consciousness. Thanks to yet another kind of seeing, the world will now reveal itself as not only unimaginably beautiful, but also fathomlessly mysterious, as a multitudinous abyss of possibility forever actualizing itself into unprecedented forms. New insights into a new, transfigured world of givenness, new combinations of thought and fantasy-the stream of novelty pours through the world in a torrent, whose every drop is charged with meaning. There are the symbols whose meaning lies outside themselves in the given facts of visionary experience and there are these given facts which signify only themselves. But 'only themselves' is also 'no less than the divine ground of all'. And now the aesthetic and the visionary consciousness deepen into mystical consciousness. The world is now seen as an infinite diversity that is yet a unity and the beholder experiences himself as being at one with the infinite Oneness that manifests itself, totally present, at every point of space, at every instant in the flux of perpetual perishing and perpetual renewal."

The positive emotion, whether the eyes are open or closed, is a big feature of the LSD experience and especially the mystical, religious and metaphysical aspects of it. If it's a person's first trip and it's a good one, at some point, the person will feel a strong, emotional outpouring of joy, awe, reverence and gratitude, gratitude for the privilege of having this ultimate experience. People have been known to cry for joy in realizing that they are finally alive. With LSD, a person can feel ecstasy, euphoria and joy in a way that they have never known was possible.
