Since we are the sum of our habits, psychedelics, which break habits, tend to dissolve the sense of self, and to break down the barrier and the distinction between ourselves and our environment. This state of unification with the universe is called enlightenment, and subjectively, the experience is of the synaesthetic disintegration of form, of space, of time, into flickering, swirling rainbow fragments which dissolve into a pearly sea of luminous, profound ecstasy. This is the 'Illumination of the Clear Light' and occurs when the entire nervous system is open and 'lit up' and empty of attachment, fear, doubt or any clouding emotion.

Thus consciousness is OUR RUNNING RECORD OF CHANGE OF INPUT TO THE NERVOUS SYSTEM ... regular, routine input evokes automatic, subconscious response, while consciousness is triggered by non-routine, unusual stimulus, which evades our habitual response system, and penetrates to the centre, to the cerebral cortex, engaging the imagination which continually integrates the non-routine input from our senses, weaving it into the 360-degree glorious technicolor 'big picture' which we call 'reality'!
