There could be a more radical answer that came to my mind just now: if reality is imaginary, then a person is imagined in such a way that what you both see is the same thing. However, I say this with very little confidence, because recently I’ve had only a few glimpses of reality being imaginary—literally.

@Leo Gura, what about belief in God? I don't agree that believing in God is the same as knowing it really exists or is true. Not knowing would be true rather than assuming that it exists. Also, would you still believe in a round Earth if you saw Earth as round?

@Davino, well, I guess we have to differentiate between epistemic and metaphysical beliefs. If by "true beliefs" is meant "true metaphysical beliefs", then I think it has to be contradictory, because when you believe that some part of reality is some way, then you have already made an assumption about that part without actually experiencing it. It's like saying psychedelic trips are demonic without taking them. What it means to be demonic when assuming without taking it is different when you experience demonic stuff on psychedelics. Even then the beliefs could make the trip seem demonic.

I have noticed that Russian comedy shows often end with a strange bit of patriotic messaging, and I haven’t seen them criticize the government.

Seeing others' eyes is the same thing as feeling others' touch. So, if we are going to say, "How come we see the same thing?" then we should also say, "How come we feel the same thing?"

When I said "experience", I meant "direct seeing". When you and I touch the snow, are we feeling the same thing at the same time?

What I mean is that the experience is happening for you. You will never have access to mine, because it doesn't exist for you. You said only you feel when someone hits you. Well, I will say that your sight will change when you harm your eyes. But if you hit others or harm their eyes, you don't experience change of your senses the same way they do.

You are looking at this issue superficially. You have only had your experience. The idea of others' experience is based on your experience. That's why you can never actually see what others see.

I am not seeing what you are seeing, existentially speaking.

@Leo Gura, isn't "true belief" oxymoronic or contradictory?

@Leo Gura, aside from the books in your booklist on psychedelics, have you read other ones that you would recommend?

Ok. Do you recommend not doing both simultaneously from scratch?

@Leo Gura, because people are not intelligent enough?

Too much for what reason?

@Leo Gura, so, should people avoid psychedelics till they get that 20%?

@LambdaDelta, I appreciate the info. And I'm a bit jealous that I don't have access to other psychedelics. 🥲 Although the whole process of extraction is fun. I learned to be more patient and meticulous.

@LambdaDelta 🙂 TBH, I cannot imagine how you can be immune to DMT. Will do. 🥹

It is crazy. And I've just begun. I mean, it is insane, but the good kind. It wasn't just visuals. It started to get mental. I thought that it would continue to be just beautiful visuals while filling up the pipe casually. Lol.

#8 OMG, I literally died. PURE UNLIMITED CREATION!

I have also had that feeling on DMT. 😀 However, the most intense that I felt that was on psilocybe tampanensis.

#7 I was on DMT for 2 hours straight today. I smoked about 30 mg each time. Probably many people have said this, but, damn, it was a pure dream. I was melting all the way down. For some brief moments, there was the experience of reality being imaginary. It was like experiencing a glitch.

That is good. I was not forcing you, but whatever.

Forgive me, I'm having a challenging time understanding the context of your responses. Just try not to be attached to the ideas of psychedelic experiences.

Of course, if you are psychologically unstable, then I would hesitate to recommend you to do it; otherwise, start planning to extract, travel, or forget about psychedelics altogether.

Maybe psychologically it affects you to some extent. However, it is tiny compared to when you actually experience it. What is the use of listening to others' trips if you are not eventually going to do it? You have to experience it. There's no way around that.
