Datamining DMT, LSD and other substance experience reports, allows analysing affective states.
When it comes to affective intensity signalled by linguistic markers, psychedelic experiences elicit more awe experiences.

However, what is awe really?
There are different classes, like joy, excitement, gratitude, admiration. The latter ones are more aligned with more self-diminished experiences.
Do psychedelic experiences elicit these distinct kind of experiences more frequently?
No in a general self-focused affective type of awe.
But they elicit more the other type (marginally sign.).
We need to model the complexity of these experiences, past a single affective state.
