Google Docs says that I don't have permission to see it.

According to an article I saw recently, Johns Hopkins have found a
substitute for God - sacred mushrooms!  They give you a "genuine mystical
experience" - what we used to call a "trip" - and improved mood for up to
12 months - could be just euphoria.  There are "temporary" unpleasant side
effects - he hasn't heard of increased tolerance of drugs.  Here is the

link:  http://www.healthcentral.com/depression/news-255593-31.html

Of course, the report has been filtered through the reporter's world view,
and I am seeing it through mine.  But anybody really interested in religion
wants more than a mystical experience. Spiritual issues are those dealing
with feelings of emptiness and meaninglessness.

To the contrary view is this report that materialist countries have higher
levels of depression:
