Self Actualization and Truth

[Stephen]

So I have watched all the videos on consciousness etc. 

Not just watched, but meditated upon these ideas for hours upon hours and taken psychedelics.

I have gotten glimpses of "enlightenment" and God - The problem is :

How do I know if it is true? 

On high dose mushrooms I feel like I am seeing parts of God - But the problem is: 

Am I just remembering / regurgitating / hallucinating some of Leo's or Alan Watts ideas

HOW IS IT POSSIBLE TO TELL IF THESE IDEAS ARE TRUE - For example: we are all one - It's not possible to prove this   even though I felt it and saw it 

I feel like I am only seeing this and coming to these conclusions because Leo or the Budda told me it was this way

Not sure I explained this well - but i'm really struggling with this - thanks

Usually, Truth becomes a non-issue when you become happy? Have you found happiness?

And here's the thing: the actual Truth is not an idea. It is ACTUAL, and it is directly accessible to you all the time. In fact, you can't escape it. All you can do is ignore it, and think that it's not Truth.

Wherever you look, there is the face of God!

@Stephen Go deeper! You have merely scratched the surface.

The Truth will become obvious at some point.

There is no how to Truth. Truth simply is all that is.

God is not an idea.

@Stephen  Is a perception of a colorblind person less „real“, than the „normal“ perception? I've asked myself what is real and I've come to the conclusion, that what most people call real is that, which is either the most frequent, or that which fits the survival of the self the best. Think about it, if you have a hallucination, it is a valid experience, you cannot neglect that you see it, it is just that you cannot efficiently move around with it and survive with it etc...  

Imagine a world, where there would be a certain gene, that would give a person 24/7 mushroom consciousness and still made their body survive in some way, how would that work, would it be „normal“ and „real“ if most people lived ĺike that for their whole lives and were able to communicate it? This what you see right here is just an experience, which appears. All of this is just an experience being experienced, including you and your body, you cannot escape it, because you are it.
