With LSD, when time is extended and you are in eternity, the mental processes are speeded up. You are experiencing so much more in a minute of clock time than usual that it seems as if it could not possibly have been only 1 minute. The clock says that it was only 1 minute. It can't be, but it is. If you ride on an airplane having a window seat and look out the window every 5 minutes, the view of what you see down below is different than what you saw 5 minutes ago. Under LSD, one's perspective, outlook, mood and behavior can change in seconds. Like with every other possible occurrence during an LSD trip, it doesn't mean that it will happen, but it can.

Along with the timeless, eternal flavor to everything, there is also a richness, radiance, magic and beauty to everything. Combining all of this with feeling physically greater than ever and it sounds a little more like heaven. The magnitude, quality and richness of LSD consciousness is genuinely magnificent far beyond compare, far beyond anything previously experienced and far beyond the wildest fantasies of anyone's imagination before they have had LSD. What happens during an LSD experience is more real than real. What we think of as real is just that tiny fraction of 1 percent of reality. Anything more than that, even if it's only a larger fraction of 1 percent, could be called more real than real. This "more real than real" concept is significant.

An important feature of the LSD experience is dramatically increased, expanded and widened perception and awareness, along with sharpened, heightened intensification of the senses. The senses will be operating differently than what you are used to. It will be like you are seeing for the first time or seeing clearly for the first time. It will also be like you are hearing, smelling, touching and tasting for the first time, indeed, living for the first time. That's how incredible it all is. It's the first time you are able to experience all of the senses simultaneously operating at full efficiency.

If you are looking, you are seeing better and more, if you are listening, you are hearing better and more, etc. The blindfolds have come off the eyes, the ear plugs are out of the ears, the nose plugs are out of the nose, the tape is off the mouth and the suit of armor is off the body. Your senses are now freely wide open and very sensitive and intensified. You might be able to see an ant crawling on a car that's parked across the street or hear 2 people whispering to each other, across the street from where you are. You can see and hear things which would be impossible to see and hear without taking LSD.

The senses are always operating at maximum efficiency, but we are blocked off from it during "normal" waking consciousness. There is a filter that narrows down consciousness, perception and awareness. The LSD itself doesn't do anything except get rid of the filter. The filter is the ego. The ego is the nuisance that's always trying to shove its weight around and run your show. Once the LSD shoves the ego into the trash can, where it belongs, then your life begins. Then, you can become aware of everything, perceive everything, feel everything and know everything. Knowing everything doesn't mean knowing what John Doe did on July 7, 1986. It means knowing everything that's worth knowing, not the details, but the full picture and understanding the process of knowing.
