Holes in the Spirit Field

[anagogy]

Now, just what constitutes the "spirit energy field" (I know it's not material but you know what I mean) and why would a psychedelic chemical cause such a disruption as to tear a hole?

The physical brain is a wonderful translation device between the tangible world of matter and formless world of mind. The "spirit energy field" is the flow of consciousness between microcosm and macrocosm. The "holes" are created because normal cognitive thought-ways, or associated schema, are often transcended in such a hallucinogenic experience. New channels of thought are opened. These are the "holes". Sometimes they are beneficial pathways of energy, sometimes they are not.

Most psychedelics, LSD included are noteworthy for the dramatic effect they induce on consciousness while being almost completely non toxic and being able to exit the body without a trace. Yet they seem very dangerous to the spirit complex, is this danger due to mind more than body? Does the ingestion and resultant change in thought pattern cause stimulation of some kind in the spirit complex that can be "overcharged"?

In my opinion, you are precisely correct, the danger is due to the effect on the mind, though such danger is being offered through the body.

Edit: Also on the holes in general, is anyone aware of what could cause one in an individual who has not ingested psychedelics, is it perhaps by the same mechanism stimulated by psychedelics?

The mechanism is the channeling of thought. Every thought is like a road that goes somewhere. Trance is a natural state of mind that everybody experiences many times a day, in usually a light form. Trances occur when the focus of consciousness achieves a resonance, this allows normal cognitive pathways to be transcended. Another way of saying this is: when energy is focused, the capacity for change is greater. Trance is a harnessing of attention, which then has the capacity to do work in consciousness (this can happen by accident too). Most people do not have good control of their consciousness, so people playing with deeper and more focused levels of consciousness sometimes create undesirable changes to their consciousness. (People who play with the occult, without knowing what they are doing come to mind.)

You can try this for yourself by picking some word and saying it to yourself over and over again -- in effect, harnessing attention. Eventually, the cohesiveness of association which equals the "meaning" of the word will become so broad that the normal meaning of the word will go away. The "normal association" dissolves.

So, if you were to say "fish" over and over again to yourself. Eventually it wouldn't even sound like English to you after enough repetitions. Your intense focus changes or dissolves its normal cognitive construct.
