When music is on, you can see the colors moving and dancing to the music. You may see little streaks of color or if you are outside, you can see these color streaks while looking at the sky. The country singer John Denver sang a song about the Colorado Rocky Mountain high and how he's seen it raining fire in the sky. He had to be singing about an LSD trip. The Doors sang a song about lighting my fire, getting higher and setting the night on fire. The Doors also sang a song, Break on Through. That's break on through to the other side, to the other side of the horizon beyond the ego.

Is there any doubt that the Doors were turned on by LSD? William Blake made a statement that has appeared in many books. He said "If the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear as it is, infinite". Aldous Huxley liked that so much that he named one of his great books, The Doors of Perception. It's about his first mescaline trip. The music group just shortened it to The Doors.

When you close your eyes, there is no limit to what it is possible to see and that includes ultimate reality, God and heaven. What you see with the eyes open has often been called the external world and what you see with the eyes closed being the internal world. Perhaps, what you see with your eyes open is how the brain feels or sees itself and what you see with the eyes closed is the inside of the brain or the eyeballs. Rather than getting hung up in these word games, just enjoy the show.

When people talk about visions, they usually mean what's seen with the eyes closed. So, what is the show with the eyes closed? To begin with, the colors will be the ultimate, even better than the colors seen with the eyes open. The lights and colors of the Las Vegas strip are like a power failure compared to what you can see with your eyes closed, while tripping. There is an inner screen or an inner theatre or the Magic Theatre. It has its own lighting system that produces very special effects. The Beatles called it the Magical Mystery Tour where you could see Strawberry Fields Forever and Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds. What can be seen here has been known about since ancient times and it can be a religious experience. (Religions originated from people who had religious experiences. Buddha, Jesus, Mohammed and others all had religious experiences involving changes in consciousness.)

The first thing you will see is different colors that look like clouds or geometric designs. The colors will be moving, constantly changing and will be absolutely dazzling beyond belief. At some point, the visions and colors will get more and more detailed and complicated. You can see many different things at the same time and these things will come and go and be replaced by other things that will come and go, etc. Unless you are luckier than I was, you won't be able to control what you see in these visions. You might see something for an instant and wish that you could see it for a longer amount of time, but it's not a big deal because there is so much more to see that it doesn't matter.

There is no telling exactly what you will see once you get past the moving, changing, living clouds of color or the moving, changing, living geometric designs of color. You may see scenes or events from the historical past, both of your own personal past or the historical past of man or even the historical past of all life and all existence and believe it or not, all of that is stored in your brain! That's right. It's all there. From this point of view, it's easy to see that in our everyday lives, we are using just a tiny fraction of one percent of our brain. To put it another way, with LSD, it's possible to see, with your eyes closed, anything that has ever happened to anyone or anything.

No one can predict what they will see, but there are general things that people from all cultural backgrounds will see which reveals that this is a universal experience. A common scene is that of ancient architecture, landscapes, temples, palaces, castles and mansions. You will see all of this in the context of perhaps ancient Egypt or some other ancient civilization.
