Imagine living in a room where everything in it is invisible but you can throw a visible net that reveals the contours of objects. I learned from psychedelics that physical, cultural limitations prevent us from directly experiencing most of the universe we live in, but language is like that net. It is a powerful tool for apprehending a reality we can only glimpse . Culture, habit mesmerize us into mistaking the net for the reality it only partially describes. #psychedelic #language #reality
