| <blockquote class="quotation">...my own LSD experiences is that all aspects of the world become meaningful rather than meaningless. This is not to say that they acquire meaning in the sense of signs, by virtue of pointing to something else, but that all things appear to be their own point. Their simple existence, or better, their present formation, seems to be perfect, to be an end or fulfillment without any need for justification.<ref>Watts, Alan W. This Is It (p. 135).

| On the expansion of meaning, William James quotes Charles Kingsley who writes "When I walk the fields, I am oppressed now and then with an innate feeling that everything I see has a meaning, if I could but understand it. And this feeling of being surrounded with truths which I cannot grasp amounts to indescribable awe sometimes…. Have you not felt that your real soul was imperceptible to your mental vision, except in a few hallowed moments?"<Ref>James, William. The Varieties of Religious Experience: A Study of Human Nature. New York: Penguin, 1903. https://archive.org/details/varietiesreligi03jamegoog/page/n6/mode/2up. p. 334</ref>
