In recent years mystical ideas have been spreading concerning "altered states of consciousness" as "new dimensions of experience and transpersonal communication". An analysis is given of the class-conditioned character of these concepts deriving from the insecure social conditions existing under moribund imperialism. This is contrasted with the dialectical materialist concept of psychic phenomena as the highest integration level of man's relationship to the environment. Psychic phenomena are interpreted not as epiphenomena but as an expression of the new quality attained in the evolution of man as a social being in the central control of all functions of man's organism.
近年来，关于“意识改变状态”作为“新的体验维度和超个人交流”的神秘主义观念一直在传播。本文分析了这些概念的阶级局限性，它们源于垂死的帝国主义下不稳定的社会状况。这与辩证唯物主义将心理现象视为人类与环境关系的最高整合层次的概念形成对比。心理现象并非被解释为附带现象，而是作为人类作为社会存在在其机体所有功能的中央控制中进化所达到的新质的一种表达。
