A Psychedelic Koan

[Jahmaine]

A seeker asked the sage, “Is the world I see while under the influence of psychedelics real or not?”The sage replied, “Where is the border between reality and perception?”

We are tripping on serotonin, dopamine and adrenaline right now

Perception is the reality. There is no difference between a psychedelic trip or a sober experience.

What is the difference between reality and imagination?  That is the question.

Not in order to experience...just because of experience.  It (experience) comes prior to any egoic goal. Experience comes first and then we try to assign meanings to it.  But all meanings are relative.
