the Snow Leopard
LSD Induced, Yeti, Euphoric Sojourn

that cannot be brought over into daily life. Old mists may be banished, that is true, but the alien chemical agent forms another mist maintaining the separation of the ‘I’ from the true experience of the One.1

You will most likely have more experiences than one because you will long to regain this feeling:
All sounds, and all one sees and feels, take on imminence, an immanence, as if the Universe were coming to attention, a Universe of which one is in the center, a Universe that is not the same yet not different from oneself, even from a scientific point of view.(210)
