You will see objects that are usually seen as still, now moving in some way. It's not that an object is moving to a different part of the room. It's much more likely that the object is in the same spot, but it's slowly vibrating or expanding and contracting or seems to be breathing in and out. Whatever it is, that thing is moving. It's alive. You look around the room and everything is alive that way and even though you were told to expect this, you still can't believe it. The world has become a Wonderland.

If someone isn't prepared for this, they may see the moving, alive object and start to worry. Is the object friendly? Is it out to get me? Like with anything else unusual that's happening, all one needs to remember is that they are getting this effect because they took the LSD. No matter how wildly that object is "behaving", it is not a threat and never was because it's still the same inert object, just like it always is. To be clear on this, it's the same, still object in that the object is no problem to you, but in reality, the object really is moving and alive and LSD allows you to become aware of that.

From the LSD perspective, when you see the object, you are not thinking about or keying on what its use or function is. If you are looking at a chair, you know that it's a chair but you are thinking about how beautiful, significant and meaningful in itself that the chair is. You're perceiving the chair as something that's a lot more than a piece of furniture which one sits on. A little child sees the chair with an intensity that is not the case with an adult. The little child sees the chair as big, a lot taller than they are and doesn't see the chair as something to sit on but as a toy to play with by crawling under the chair, through the chair's legs, etc.

You can look at a moving, alive object and feel that you "understand" the object in a way that was impossible before taking the LSD because in a very real way, you are seeing that object for the very first time and seeing it as clean, fresh and pure as if the object is brand new. The object is radiant and seems to shine from inside with its own light.

It's like you can perceive the nature, significance or "meaning" of the object, beyond its usual function and realize that there is nothing inferior about a pencil being a pencil and not a person. The pencil has its own dignity in being a pencil. That pencil will wiggle around and flip you out. You may be so emotionally moved by this kind of revelation that you will bow to the object out of respect and honor and never take that object for granted again. You may even kiss the object, appreciating its complexity and beauty for the first time.

You can tune in to what seems to be the consciousness of an object and how it thinks and feels. This may sound to you like it's too much or going too far if I'm saying that ordinary objects have deep significance, meaning and beauty, that they are alive with a consciousness that thinks and feels in its own way and that you can get tuned into all of this with LSD. Actually, it makes a lot of sense but it will take a lot of explaining.

Keep in mind that we use and are aware of only a tiny fraction of 1 percent of our brain and that the ego is only a tiny fraction of 1 percent of our full identity. Compare one grain of sand on a beach with the number of grains of sand on all the beaches of the world. The ego is the one grain of sand and so is what we know about our brain because what we know about our brain is based on the ego. The ego is like a locked door that is blocking a person off from their life. LSD is the key that opens the door to one's life, brain and full identity. As explained in the previous chapter, your full identity is the entire universe or God.
