Sometimes it is hard to know if acid creates an illusion that distorts reality or if it inhibits mental filters that distort reality and shows you a more true reality that appears as a distortion as you are coming from a distorted perception of reality that you have accepted as real. I think it does both of these things actually, in some ways it clearly distorts reality and in some ways it clearly removes the distortion caused by the filters the sober mind perceives reality through. I don't know where Ego death falls. Logically I have strong doubts that the perception of eternal continuity associated with Ego death is a more clear perception of objective reality than the sober perception of discrete existence, although it sure would be beautiful and awesome. I also logically strongly doubt the existence of God and Heaven, although it sure would be awesome if we get to go to Eternal paradise after we die (well probably will not be allowed in due to my strong logical doubts, but oh well, I will just take acid).
