Thousands of young science students in the past decade took "trips"
with LSD and other psychedelics, blasting open centers of higher
perception with this powerful drug. Out of this pathological, but
nevertheless devastatingly real contact with mind-stuff and emotion-
stuff, has come a general impulse toward spiritual renewal. The
science student who has seen the working of the ethers while under
drugs becomes a candidate for their theoretical study, and for the
intelligent application of his will to his own inner development. The
strong souls will develop in themselves the same perceptual and
cognitive powers as Dr. Steiner.
