what is reality
Terence McKenna's perspective on reality is multifaceted and often challenges conventional understandings. He suggests that what we perceive as reality is largely a subjective construct, shaped by individual and cultural perceptions rather than an objective truth. For instance, McKenna states that "the seemingly objective picture of the world surrounding us, that which we call reality, is actually a subjective picture" 5. He often emphasizes that reality can be seen as a product of interactions within the mind, a concept that aligns with his ideas about psychedelics and altered states of consciousness.
Moreover, McKenna explores the idea that reality is not fixed but is instead a dynamic process being "knitted together into a spinning marble," with everything outside this core being illusion 3. He also touches on philosophical notions, suggesting that reality is a concept more thoroughly explored in philosophy than in science, implying that it is deeply tied to ontological and epistemological inquiries 14.
In his works, McKenna frequently blurs the lines between what is traditionally considered real and unreal, encouraging a deeper inquiry into the nature of existence and perception 11. These perspectives invite a reconsideration of how we define and engage with reality in both a personal and collective sense.
