Abstract :Examining Mystical and Psychedelic Experiences, as old as humanity itself, in a manner consistent with their nature, can open doors not only for understanding the universe but also for giving it meaning. The philosophical analysis of these states, which create special states of consciousness for solving the problem of the source of consciousness, is important. Because exceptional situations that go beyond routine in solving any problem may contain important clues for the solution of the problem. This study, which I started based on this basic logic, has gone beyond the solution of the problem of consciousness and directed towards answering the most fundamental questions of ontology. In the introduction section, I provide brief overviews related to the topic of Mystical and Psychedelic Experiences, including scientific studies on psychedelics and brain entropy. In the next chapter, I will attempt to reach a holistic philosophy to solve the problem of consciousness by evaluating scientific studies and philosophical theses about the levels of consciousness in living things. In the last chapter, I will examine some of the answers developed by mystical-philosophical-religious disciplines throughout human history and I will further mature the holistic philosophy that I based on in the previous chapter.Keywords : bilinç, mistik deneyimler, dinler tarihi, taoizm, islam
