'''~~Spiritual states~~''' ~~can be~~ defined as any ~~novel cognitive~~ effect which feels as if it relates to or contains information regarding ~~one's~~ place in the universe, the inner workings of reality, the context of their existence ~~or their purpose in life~~. ~~These can occur regardless~~ of ~~one's religious beliefs and often have a distinct and lasting impact on the user's perspective of the world around them. During the experience of a spiritual state~~, ~~the information conveyed is felt to be a real and objective truth although the user may later disagree with the revelations once the effects of the drug have worn off~~.

<onlyinclude>'''Transpersonal effects''' are defined as any [[subjective effect index|subjective effect]] which feels as if it alters a person's cognition in a manner which relates to or contains information regarding their place in the universe, the inner workings of reality or consciousness, and the context of their existence. The fullest manifestation of these effects fall under what are sometimes called "peak", "transcendent" or "transformative" experiences.

This page lists and describes the various ~~spiritual~~ states which can occur under the influence of certain [[psychoactive substance index|psychoactive compounds~~]] such as [[psychedelics~~]].

These effects are typically associated with high dose [[psychedelic]] or [[dissociative]] experiences. They can occur regardless of the person's spiritual or religious beliefs and often have a distinct and lasting impact on the user's perspective of the world around them. During the experience of a substance-induced transpersonal state, the information conveyed is often felt to be a real and objective truth. However, the person will often come to disagree with these supposed "epiphanies" once the effects of the substance have worn off.

It should be noted that these mind-states are the least reproducible of all effects within the [[subjective effect index]]. They are unique in that that simply taking more of a given substance does not necessarily increase the chances of having these states occur. Instead, they seem to rely more on contextual factors such as the person's [[set and setting]].
