The sense of Truth
Admittedly, I am no authority on the difference between reality and how human beings perceive reality. In fact, I am confronted with a major struggle to even begin discerning between the two. My version of reality is what I hold, with sufficient bolstering evidence, to be "the" case. However, that being said, I have very little comprehension of extrinsic universes or realities to my own. After all, how could one think of something not in their mind, never mind make sense of it. Epistemology is referred to as a map, but this map only extends as far as the corners of OUR minds. Granted, to limit oneself to a singular possibility would inevitably turn out to be quite boring, but a bore we are doomed to endure. The question of what else exists beyond us, to me, is impossible to answer, unless we have a literal out of body experience, on the other hand we would need more than an out of body experience, we would need to have an out of mind experience which would lead to the experience not being intrinsic to the person in the first place.

you are an authority on how you percieve reality and your contribution is as meaningful as any other person's, the point is to sharpen our tools... the pineal gland is the best tool, descartes called it the seat of consciousness, it is reffered to the 3rd eye and crown chakra as well. in extreme stress (like near death experiences, rem sleep etc) a crystiline structure called dimethyltriptomine (dmt) is secreted in the pineal gland in order to dillute the intense experience causing out of body experiences and the most intense hallucinations one could imagine. complex jeweled geomtetric shapes alternately rotating on edge and, you can actually inhabit the metaphysical dimension and experience The Other. i think we all desire to know what else is out there (beyond human perception), and there aren't many ways to find out. so is there such a thing as a true hallucination? where this naturally occuring chemical actually overflows the senses tapping into the rest of the reality that exists beyond our extremely narrow range of perception so we can grasp the Whole... check out some youtube videos for more information
