This is exactly what I've felt on a couple separate occasions (both on mushrooms and ayahuasca). The trouble is the rational/ego-based mind kicks in as soon as I'm off them and I begin to question the validity of these assumptions. Whilst sober it seems ridiculous, but whilst on these substances, it's sober everyday life which seems truly ridiculous, like it was so obviously staged and unreal and how could I have not seen it? Ultimately I'm always led back to the same conclusion: we don't and won't ever really know anything beyond our own qualia.
