Of course, the correlations between these &quot;realizations&quot; and any actual reality may be zero.  That is, &quot;realization&quot; implies that there is some truth that you are realizing is true.  But these things may well be not actually true, just impressions from using chemicals to temporarily alter your brains.  They may not even be true on the next trip!<p>Acid trips as a way of actually discovering truth (rather than perception) seems to me to be hopelessly naive.
