I took the survey and recorded my first/second experiences.
Has amyone found out more about the findings or where the researchers are going with the information?
What did you think about taking the survey?

Is this the study you are referring to?

For the new study, the scientists used data from 4,285 people worldwide who responded to online advertisements to complete one of two 50-minute online surveys about God encounter experiences. The surveys asked participants to recall their single most memorable encounter experience with the “God of their understanding,” a “higher power,” “ultimate reality” or “an aspect or representative of God, such as an angel.” They also asked how respondents felt about their experience and whether and how it changed their lives.

About 69 percent of the participants were men, and 88 percent were white. Of those who reported using a psychedelic, 1,184 took psilocybin (“magic mushrooms”), 1,251 said they took LSD, 435 said they took ayahuasca (a plant-based brew originating with indigenous cultures in Latin America), and 606 said they took DMT (N,N-dimethyltryptamine), also a naturally occurring substance found in certain plants and animals.

This is actually the survey I took. I found it on Vice. Looks like they closed the link to take the survey. I probably took it about a year ago.

Some people on DMT say they meet aliens, demons, and even elves. It’s a common enough experience that Johns Hopkins wants to know more.

I did a little more research last night. John Hopkins did a separate studies/surveys for different groups (DMT group, Ayahuasca Group, Psilocybin & LSD Group and the God Group, which included non drug users) and combined all of the data. The link below are the results of the study. It's pretty long but super interesting.

Survey of subjective "God encounter experiences": Comparisons among naturally occurring experiences and those occasioned by the classic psychedelics psilocybin, LSD, ayahuasca, or DMT

Naturally occurring and psychedelic drug–occasioned experiences interpreted as personal encounters with God are well described but have not been systematically compared. In this study, five groups of individuals participated in an online survey with detailed questions characterizing the...
