If all that you experienced after consumption of some drug, the whole thing might be similar to hallucination. Mark the word SIMILAR. I never mean your experience is unrealistic but is very near to absolute reality. It is not only hallucination but also definitely something beyond.

The thing I always wondered was, what exactly is a hallucination?

Scientific explanations
Various theories have been put forward to explain the occurrence of hallucinations. When psychodynamic (Freudian) theories were popular in psychiatry, hallucinations were seen as a projection of unconscious wishes, thoughts and wants. As biological theories have become orthodox, hallucinations are more often thought of (by psychiatrists at least) as being caused by functional deficits in the brain. With reference to mental illness, the function (or dysfunction) of the neurotransmitter dopamine is thought to be particularly important.
Psychological research has argued that hallucinations may result from biases in what are known as metacognitive abilities. These are abilities that allow us to monitor or draw inferences from our own internal psychological states (such as intentions, memories, beliefs and thoughts). The ability to discriminate between self-generated and external sources of information is considered to be an important metacognitive skill and one which may break down to cause hallucinatory experiences. Projection of an internal state or a person's own reaction to another may arise in the form of hallucinations, especially auditory hallucinations. A few scientists have argued that such hallucinations may be the result of other conscious thoughts.

In other words, scientist don't have the first clue as to what they are. What's the purpose of hallucinations? What amount of truth comes from them?

I am not sure whether or not; you have gone through my explanation of universe, universal consciousness and individual consciousness. Your experience is clearly telling me my line of thinking is not much wrong!!!

I'll have to refreash my memory.... link? or was it in the previous thread that started this all? If so, then yes it's along the lines of what I think..... which is why I directed you to these threads.

The main ignorance in watching your experience is that you are feeling YOU (perfectionist, watching person) and SCENE (full scenery you watched) are two separate. The absolute reality is that both are ONE. Come on tell me, while watching the whole scene" Had you any feeling of personal existence"???

It was an experience that didn't directly point to me and say "Hey you... check this out" ~ It was more of a "looking through the window at all the people working" kinda of experience, while I was focused on one timeline.....
Um... in a sense, yes and no would be your answer, lol.... I knew of my position on the timeline.... I saw the overall outline as to what was coming, what was past and what is present.... I was positioned in the present, so that would show that I was existing to a degree with the experience.
In the other part of that experience (There were two experiences now that I look back, that were happening at the same time.)
The timeline I was viewing, the experiences I was seeing, etc.... they all came from me trying to think of what life was all about so to speak..... I looked at my forearm.... looked at the skin, then focused down to the skin cell.... then the atoms.... then I was past the atoms.....
I think now the timeline was directly involving me, since it started and then ended with me..... hince how I claim everything is connected. As soon as I passed the atoms, that's when I saw the timeline, space, existance, planets, life.... all passing as it does in it's own way.... and it all eventually brought me back to where I was sitting looking at my arm.

If you are not aware, you will have to repeat your experiment to find the answer. Then are you sure you would have similar view, 100% repetition??? How many times you got a repeated scene??? I mean, the one you narrated in detail!!!

I have had this experience occur about 4 or 5 different times, and it all didn't occur with just LSD..... sometimes sober... onc while smoking weed... a couple of times on shrooms, etc....
Although, I must add that these experiences were not as detailed as my original, because I didn't overdo it with the other drugs, like I did with the LSD..... it's a little intense at times......
But each one of these experiences all had big chunks from the original that I experienced to help me confirm it wasn't just a one time thing..... and I didn't purposely go out to re-experience it..... they just came to me when the time was opportune.
