The way i see this is reality, real-it-y, real information technology why? why is it we need to be a data mine and gather all this information to describe something as real. Isn't it if we experience something then it is real so what if its caused by imagination or chemical imbalances that doesn't mean its not real after all what is classified as "real and reality" stems from the majority's similar chemical balance. if the majority had similar higher levels of Dmt in the brain then that dimension would be considered real and where we at now as unreal.
There are two realities. Your reality and the ultimate reality.
We perceive maybe 5% of the ultimate reality on a good day. Those perceptions are not reality, they are perceptions of the ultimate reality and most likely flawed.
Your reality is consciousness. And in that reality there is nothing else. You are not of this world and you are not in this world. Change your consciousness and you change your reality. First you must understand there is no spoon.

"there is no spoon" funny you mentioned that , because i always found that the movie "the matrix" part one has alot of hidden meaning regarding reality or life in general , that we are all slaves to our own fate and all that a person can do in this reality is watch as the world spins out of control into oblivion , but after oblivion is where the unknown lies , maybe a higher more complex reality , who knows

The entire first matrix movie seems like an analogy for my first breakthrough trip. Neo wakes up, then when 'reality' hit him hard he freaks out and tries to abort. Then the bald guy, who regrets going through the wormhole as ignorance is bliss.
Even the kung fu scenes had a refreshing meaning to me. They had no meaning behind it, just pure fun for the hell of it.

What is reality? Hmmm... my 2 cts.
Just watched this interview with Thomas Campbell, about the double slit experiment and its implications: reality is a multi-player virtual reality governed by a strict set of rules in which information and probability play major roles.

Hehe basically the image shows the subjective experience of an individual. We never experience reality 'outside of our brain' sotospeak. It's all inside. When it comes down to it, all we have is our subjectivity.
I admit, the image is kinda funny though. It's from a video on consciousness/reality.
yeah freaky image but what i thought it means is that a normal person reality is only within the boundaries of his 5 senses but as for people like us we get to see the world from a different perspective , making it feel like an alternative reality , or maybe it is a different reality , and if we see dont balance between them we start to question which reality is the real one ? or maybe both could be real and connected to one another , but i like to think the 2 of those realities are not real . like all the experiences you have in life sober or riding a unicorn over the rainbow are part of something bigger , something we cannot understand in this state no matter how many unicorns uve been on ...
It's all good and well to play it "wise and humble" in the recognition that we 'know nothing' or will never truly understand the DMT experience, but the notion shouldn't be used in some kind of lazy way. This attitude can seem to cripple critical analysis of one's experience in some cases with the thought that since it's hopeless to ever truly understand the experience, then 'why bother?' when you may be hitting on some interesting revelations otherwise.
true 100% but from my point of view i dont find the fact that we know nothing effects the way i perceive things but i feel it gives me more of an interest in the unknown , leaving any psychedelic experience out of the ordinary to be marked as undiscovered territory , yes it may seem hard to understand but not " hopeless to truly understand " and the fact that with each trip we find out something new about the world or ourselves plus why bother ? well ill tell why i bother , since my first trip i said to my self you are currently looking at a bottomless pit of ideas , feelings , visions and experiences , yes you know how it feels when you are tripping on acid , but the experience itself differs every time , leaving me to think about something new ever time . so i search for things that could be hard to find but at least i am searching for what i want and not saying " why bother your never gonna get there anyway ... "
