In life, no matter who you are or where you go, you live your entire existence within the confines of your own mind. This presents certain problems. The mind; though mapped, investigated and explored vigorously since the beginning of time…is an unknown quantity – an unknown entity. Indeed, the only thing with meaning that one can be certain of, is that one has a mind – and even this can be misinterpreted.
‘I doubt, therefore I think, therefore I am’ – is sound logic – generated by some form of intelligence. And yet it fails to, in any certain terms, form any boundary of the psudo-categorized label of the ‘mind’. For what is the ‘mind’? What is I? Well, by definition….here the investigation breaks down. The mind is a label for an unknown quantity of existence that ‘we’ can no more hope to understand, as we can hope to explore because of these restrictions. The moment we employ these pre-existing labels that are required to function in what has become our everyday lives – corruption transferred via memory, thought, communication - we lose the potential of all unbiased and original perception. Perception is the most revealing word in the English language – But only for what it represents. Ironically, words are the enemy of perception, and yet also its creator – for it is only by the corruption of words, and our need for these restrictions, placed on the very essence of existence – only by all labels and words, that the remnants of the nature of ‘perception’ arises. If trapped In a room for all eternity with but one word, perception would be the word I choose. It is the only word that, when examined, reveals splinters of the doors behind the very true nature of existence. We enter this stage of our ‘existence’ with a biased perception. Wisps of memories from our past cloud the looking glass of our present; and therefore write the pages of our future. No one can ever know what existence is, because no one has ever truly experienced it; not in its purest form. The use of psychedelics breaks down this barrier – these shackles of words and pre-existing markers – numbing the effects of culture, conditioning, memory and ego – to take us back to what we used to be – maybe what we should be. Layer upon layer is lifted with the aid of mind altering substances - the reset button of our generation. When one reaches the state of ‘ego death’, and not just ego death, but the death of awareness – the death of all knowledge – to truly become unaware of existence, and yet one with it, and be completely oblivious to everything within it, and yet a part of it all…only then will the dusty doors of perception be unlocked, and the concept of 'existence', revealed.
