Clergy who participated in psychedelic research reported profound encounters with the Divine, enhancing their wisdom for community engagement. However, true spiritual maturity may be better achieved through recognizing the Divine in the poor and strangers, fostering communal connection rather than isolated experiences. Concurrently, skepticism towards scientific expertise has emerged, exemplified by contrarian figures like Robert F.
