He details his encounter with "the divine" and his journey of healing through his use of psychedelics.  Later, Steve draws parallels between the foundations of several major religions and the concept of “phenomenal experiences.” Follow Kennedy on Twitter: @KennedyNation Learn more about your ad choices.
