This synchronistically popped up on the internet earlier today. Unfortunately I don't have any information about it.
I think profound mystical experience is likely the common factor, rather than psychedelic compounds in particular.

Holy mackerel!
Thats amazing and here is the information you wanted:

When you find an image you want to know more about do this:

1) Go to Google.Com
2) Go to the Image Section.
3) Drag and drop the image from your desktop onto the search box.
4) Or paste or type the URL of the image itself if its on the web into the search box.
5) Hit Enter (or Return if you are on a mac).
6) Sit back for one one thousandth of a second and wait.
7) Dig in the results a bit and you should in many cases be able to find not just the original but a lot of info if there is any.

Neat huh?

in Google Chrome, you can now just right-click an image and hit 'search Google for this image' to circumvent all those steps :)

Just looking at these mosques amazes me. Where did this come from? This looks exactly like what one sees when one smokes freebase dmt. Did they know? This makes me think that if they somehow had access to these states that modern Islam cannot bear any resemblence to what it must have originally was supposed to be.
 
tessellation likely began with the Sumerians, and has remained very popular in the Mid-East, including the Egyptians, Zoroastrians, and of course, Islam (not to mention Rome and China). Apparently, the Alhambra Palace in Spain contains examples of all 17 possisble categories of tessellation (called Wallpaper Groups), and even mathematicians didn't know that many were possible until around 1900. So who knows, did a little Syrian Rue and Acacia smoke waft into the architecture schools, or divinity schools back then? I'd probably put money on that!

Escher, tessellation and The Alhambra

There's now an app to see if you've got what it takes to decorate a mosque, or to start your own wallpaper company:

tessellate now!

What an amazing topic. Some pictures of the mosque ceilings are strikingly resembling the opening scenes of some of my trips. Mostly just before blasting off it feels as if I am sucked away in such a ceiling, when high above me it makes rotating movements, with incredible power.
