But ultimately, it just comes down to experience.

You are the experiencer.

And that is beyond the mechanistic decided collective reality that we live in.

So of course, there's going to be like, if I pick this up and there's a drug in it, I'm not on the drug yet.

But as soon as I, oh, it's in my system, now all of these, and then we can measure the chemicals and like everything that happens and all this stuff.

But ultimately, it doesn't really matter because the intersection, the place that you arrive at is always, it's the awareness, right?

It's the observer and the experiencer.

So the experiencer, basically drugs or experiences, whether you're going on a long walk or a hike or you have a near-death experience because you almost fall off a thing or whatever.

All these things are like...

there's always something that's with you your entire life.

You are observing yourself your entire life.

You are always with yourself the entire life.

And that is the collective awareness.

It is the monad, you know, essentially.

And so in that essence, when you arrive at that place,

doesn't matter what experience you're having, you are in touch with that, which never changes, which is always the same and doesn't exist, but always exists.

And so that is what I kind of mean by that.

I think that you are correct in that your observation of self as states are transitioning and things like that.

And if you view it as like, oh, I just took mushrooms or I just took DMT and blah, blah, blah, blah.

And that was like integration, all this stuff.
