Okay, not exactly like that. Watching Bridget Jones' Diary is not analogous to a psychedelic trip... or maybe it is. If I'm honest I've not seen it. However, I remain sceptical.
Have you ever felt in the throes of despair. You feel like it might last forever. Then for some reason you feel better- maybe even stronger... maybe this experience has played out in reverse for you. The point is that the subjective absoluteness of extreme emotion is very similar to the absoluteness of experience of a trip.
You cannot conceive of the world outside of the current experience... then, you do.
Brains are peculiar.
