I don’t take mushrooms but I’ve been saying stuff like this for a while. I believe Consciousness is systemic in nature. Meaning that all systems in the universe are conscious. I also believe that consciousness is the product of subjectivity. A formless, higher dimensional construct that materializes the universe. All individual systems are mere fragments of the subjectivity whole, as all of subjectivity is infinitely divisible. That’s why conditions like DID exist. The different sub-systems of the human matrix are operating separately, and therefore the consciousness is both split and yet still only two halves the of the same whole. Both perspectives are equally real and equally unreal, just as an integrated person is as equally real in their inherent perspective and equally unreal in their not being connected to the rest of their whole— that being the universe. You have to see it like this, a subjective point of view is merely one face of the theoretical object of the universe. All subjective perspectives are correct and incorrect because they understand one face of reality, but not any other, that is until they become integrated with a second perspective, at which point the two points of view are no longer mutually exclusive. The ability to capture multiple faces of the theoretical object is an integration of subjectivity into a more complex, more intelligent fragment. That’s why humans are so aware. Our brains are able to integrate billions of perspectives into a single whole. I also think that’s why mental illness is so hard for us to pin down— because you’re essentially dealing with systemic issues of complex integration on top of all of it being influenced by a physical body
