Perception of self-design can be described the experience of feeling that one is personally responsible for the creation, design, manifestation of a concept, process or event which is normally seen as the result of unrelated external causes. It can be broken down into two separate sub-components which include:
- Feeling as if one designed, planned out and created certain (or even all) aspects of one's life such as current or past events, loved ones, and key events.
- Feeling as if one designed, planned out and created certain (or even all) aspects of the external world such as current or historical events, nature, life, the universe as a whole and the physical laws which it abides by.
This effect typically occurs suddenly and spontaneously. However, it is most commonly felt during emotionally significant situations which are so enjoyable and fulfilling that they are exactly how the person would have designed it had they have somehow been given the conscious choice to do so in advance. This is especially true of situations that seem improbable or are completely unexpected.
Perception of self-design is often accompanied by other coinciding effects such as ego death, delusions of grandiosity and high level unity and interconnectedness. It is most commonly induced under the influence of heavy dosages of psychedelic compounds, such as LSD, psilocybin, and mescaline.
