If a psychedelic experience leads to humility, repentance, and love, how do you know it was “of the flesh”? Could it not be a moment when the Spirit spoke through the weakness of flesh, as God does often in scripture?
If God can use a burning bush, a talking donkey, and a dream given to Pharaoh (a pagan king), is it really theologically sound to say that God cannot or will not speak through a psilocybin vision?
Is it possible that your framework is set up to reject any experience you disapprove of, no matter the outcome?
Yes, the account of Balaam's talking donkey is a great illustration that God can and does speak to us when we are going against him. That's also been my experience, and I'm thankful for his patience.
