The last trip I had started as a fairly normal salvia experience, but then I "woke up" into what I was sure was the real world, but was really just another trip. Thinking about that over the next few days (while smoking MJ

) led me to question reality more than I ever have in the past. I realized that the reason that I thought the trip was so real was because I had no memory of "the real world" at the time. The state I was in was all I knew, there was no knowledge of the past or expectation of what the future would bring. The way I look at it now, the only reason we have to call this life reality is that we don't know anything else, there's no before or after to put our lives in context with. I'm definitely not a religious person at all and I don't really believe in the soul, but we really have no clue what came before our current consciousness, and we have no knowledge of what will come after it, and that is all that makes this world "reality" for us.
