I like to think that any experience you have in life when you are fully connected to the moment, be it consensus reality, hyperspace, dreaming, etc, is just as real as each other, they are probably just separate expressions of the true underlying fabric of reality as interpreted by the human mind. Regardless of if it was brought about by natural means, chemical means or deep sleep/ meditation, any level of awareness where you are completely involved in the experience is valid in my eyes. If it feels real it is real...

Peace and happy traveling.

It's not an escape for me, so I don't like one state more than the other. It isn't always love and rainbows in hyperspace. To me, they are both illusions, distortions of what *might* be the truth. Maybe the truth is totally unrelated to what we experience, beyond comprehension. That's how I feel, but it doesn't mean I can't be curious.

Life is what you make it. Create your illusion.
