So I took some shrooms and listened to some Tool and felt some really profound insights about the human condition

Now that I’m sober again I’m not sure what to make of them but I’m sure they were really profound at the time<br><br>This has happened several times in the past and I’ve never really been able to articulate my thoughts into words or thoughtfully reflect on them so I figured I’d ask for your help <br><br>I know the odds of someone being born me are astronomically low. This makes my life special. But the odds of being born anyone in this world are equally small, so that means everyone’s lives are all special in the same way<br><br>Things are the way they are because they can’t be any other way. This means that everything is perfect the way it is and that everything that happens is good, because it could only be that way<br><br>If I think really hard about anything long enough, I can convince myself that it’s true. For example, I can convince myself that everything is perfect the way it is, or that I am smarter than Einstein. But I can also convince myself that the world is inherently flawed, or that I’m dumber than a rock<br><br>Does this mean that any belief I can imagine can also be considered true? I think this means I have control over everything in my life. Not literally, but I can choose to see it however I want to see it. But that also means that I probably still live in a world that is inherently flawed, because that’s just who I am, and I will likely always see things as flawed. But if I choose to see it as flawed, then it’s perfect being flawed. But if I choose to see it as perfect, then it probably really is perfect. But if it’s perfect, then I’m stupid for thinking I can choose, because it was always perfect and I could never choose to see it any other way because it can only be perfect
