The only way to glimpse it is to flush it all away.

this rings true it seems the only way to glimpse "reality" or to escape and see past your delusions is to flush your consciousness away whether that be with drugs or fasts dreaming is another, meditation. Funny that a being so intelligent cannot see things clearly while sober, but has there mind clouded with delusions, whether they are made by the self or society.

I guess but even after "flushing" your mind can you still be sure what your seeing is reality? Can we ever be sure what we are seeing is not a delusion?

The lyric is "The only way to fix it is to flush it all away."
I was on acid the first time I heard that song and I had an OBE at the end.

No we cant, funny thing about our conciousness but I believe that we become less clouded when under the influence of say the mushroom my mind does not make assumptions only observations during and this is much more clear than vise versa.

I saw them at a little venue in Oakland in 2006 on Syrian Rue and Shrooms, I thought I was going to die and Maynard was screaming "Learn to SHIT Learn to SHIT Learn to SHIT!"
I wasn't just flipped he was really saying that and I knew what he meant but I was thinking "OK but where's my psyche's asshole?"
My ear still rings a little from that show, it was so fucking loud I thought I was going to be disintegrated...

Lyric mistakes are easy to make. There was a cypress hill song where they say "fucking bilingual" but for probably 2 years i thought they were saying funky violin.
I plan on dosing some mushies and listening to some tool albums. Ive only heard fantastic things about said experience.

You forgot death. At the moment of death you might get some insight into the nature of things.

Death can definitely bring revelations. Even feeling that death is close makes things seems so much more clear and powerful. Imagine being conscious of dieing, i think that last instant when you know your going to die would be like life condensed and magnified.
