'''Transpersonal 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 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 although the user may later come to disagree with the epiphanies once the effects of the substance have worn off.
