So, my question refers to reality. How do we confirm what is real? How do we decipher imagination from reality?
I guess the answer begins with a thought, and then we decipher whether it is real or fiction. many times our brains do this automatically, but how does the brain know?
The best answer i can come up with is through conditioning. Either through visual confirmation or what we call common sense, and as long as everything remains consistant, then we can develop a full understanding of reality vs. fiction.
but what happens when we trip? we can see patterns and lights and trails and walls breathing and melting. A metalic like coating on everything that seems to flow like liquid, and so on and so on.
Our brains have thoughts that are un-fathumable without the help of psycedelics. And over time, the conditioning i referred to earlier, concludes that this "trip" is just that, a trip, completely against what we know as reality, and therefore we call the visuals "hallucinations" and the thoughts we have are completly fiction and only a side effect of the brains reaction to the drug.
Think about someone with very bad vision. Their reality is blurry, they may not be able to see things when they are far or close, but they use glasses to bring them to the most commonly seen reality. But the eye glasses are only a tool to allow that individual to see better.
So why do we not attribute the visual things in which we see when tripping and the thoughts we have while tripping, to a different reality, or a fuller reality, but none the less reality. The trails and colors and metalic coating on the walls and deep deep thoughts are really there, and do really exist. It is only under the influence of psycedelic drugs that we are able to see that reality, just like the person with bad vision needs glasses to see reality differently. The energy within us is all the same, and through time we put up mental walls that shape that energy into the individual and psycedelics break down those walls and allows us to be, and think, and see, as that raw form of energy. Without those walls forming our energy to boil down everything to make it a consistant and simple version of reality, then we wouldn't need psycedelics and life would revolve around maintaining our existance as humans, and recognizing our one-ness with earth, therefore we would treat our planet and one another the way it and they should should. So, what is reality, and is there such a thing? or are we forced and conditioned to view such a wrong and different reality, but conditioned for so long that the actual reality, th and was ment to be, is actually more commonly reffered to as fiction, and against reality? outcast and called creazy....have we gone to far?
Maybe not, but it is sure fun to think about.....
