Rubbish.
Any hallucinogen will produce different effects for each person depending on how the pathways in the brain are connected. The pathways are determined by life experiences and memories.
Some groups of hallucinogenic drugs will produce different 'sets' of effects from other hallucinogenic drug groups.
In the case of the, er, 'Magic Mushroom' derived hallucinogen, the 'set' of effects has been described as 'mystic' even though each subjective description uttered has been shown to be totally different from one person to another.
'Science' has nothing to do with it except to possibly show (fMRI?) the actual pathways and areas of the brain that may be involved. Which has nothing to do with Gawd or any other 'mystic' thingy.
