I don't feel that's necessarily so. It's not implausible that certain individuals have clear experiences of transcendence and witnessing, but without the philosophical grounding or preparation for what those experiences are, and consequently their psychology can't handle it. If, for some reason, they have some pathology or violent tendencies then they may act on them. Certain drugs or drug combinations, or even acting out behaviors well outside the norms and taboos of society may serve as the stimulus. Hannibal Lecter as a force of nature.
