I liked the idea that all kinds of ecstatic states were essentially the same regardless of how they were achieved (through religious fervour, drugs etc) I think I must have seen a documentary about Jim Jones before this which left me speechless about how far people could be led through religious conviction (a thing I still find flabbergasting). There's a musical mix here between the ol' fab four raga rock and classical religious music, both of which I loved (regardless of the religion).
