http://www.ted.com Neuroanatomist Jill Bolte Taylor had an opportunity few brain scientists would wish for: One morning, she realized she was having a massive stroke. As it happened -- as she felt her brain functions slip away one by one, speech, movement, understanding -- she studied and remembered every moment. This is a powerful story about how our brains define us and connect us to the world and to one another.

"All truth passes through three phases. First it is ridiculed, second it is violently opposed, and third it is accepted as self-evident." - Arthur Schopenhauer~~~~~[All the brain is is a filtering mechanism that filters out holistic consciousness to give the illusion of duality]: "Mind, rather than emerging as an out-growth in the evolution of life, has existed always...the source and condition of physical reality." - George Wald
Look i love shrooms just as much as the next guy, but all psychedelics do is create the illusion of oneness with the universe. It is a costume that your brain puts on in order to ignore the conscious thought that our world revolves around. What Jill is talking about is the total and complete removal of the filters that our culture instills in us over time as we grow.
NO, you are WRONG, it is THIS WORLD that is the ILLUSION! This is a SELF-EVIDENT truth. I wrote a philosophy thesis on this & made it impossible to refute what I have said. The materialistic and physicalist philosophy u r working with when u say that is a complete and utter failure, and quantum physics totally backs up what I said 100%. It is our faith in completely obsolete ideas, such as this world being real and not a holographic projection that make us ignorant and fixated on illusion.
The most amazing thing about what she experienced is that you can have the exact same, no actually, a much more profound experience of this nature through the use of psychedelic drugs like psilocybin, DMT, and LSD. None of these drugs have any negative biological effects and the experience ends within either hours, or with DMT, 10 minutes! What she mentioned she wanted everyone to experience, and if she knew that psychedelics allowed this then she would be dramatically for entheogenic use.
Psychedelics are the keys given to us by nature that allow us to safely transcend this matrix-like reality system temporarily and experience re-emerging with the metabiological oneness we came from, the consciousness that we are all part of. Consciousness is like an infinite ocean, and our singular minds/egos are simply ideas (wave functions) within the mind, so that the one consciousness can experience duality given DNA as the reality simulation code that sets the the rules of the experience.
I have heard her story from someone else, & I'm glad I found the vid with her speaking. What she is trying to tell people, if you've read her book, is that what we call 'the matrix' is a reality. The left side of the brain the logic of what we see, etc. in our daily lives. The right half is the 'creative center' which displays our internal energy as it really is, which IS pixels. Our vision is internal, but is controlled by the left brain. The right brain tells the truth of 'what we really are.'
