Summary/Abstract: The article explores the intersection of psychedelic experiences and theological dimensions, focusing on a cancer patient who underwent a psilocybin-assisted therapy to address death anxiety and existential concerns. Despite identifying as an atheist, the patient described her experience in deeply spiritual terms, feeling immersed in "universal love," which raises questions about the theological implications of such experiences. The text highlights the complexity of linking psychedelic experiences with religious or mystical dimensions, and how these experiences, whether therapeutic or spiritual, challenge conventional interpretations of the divine and human suffering, particularly in the context of the Holocaust.
