- verification note
- Standard bibliographic record; the book is not held in the project library and its exact wording on non-pharmacological mechanisms has not been independently checked, so no evidence record quotes it. Held as reading-guide background until the exact-wording audit (part of TIK-R006's philological work).
- reliability notes
- The mainstream non-drug model of mystery-cult experience: fasting, ritual, and collective emotion as sufficient generators of 'communal bliss' — the principal alternative causal model to the pharmacological hypothesis.
