Salyavin, by *objective* do you mean outside of our body? Because even
fluctuations in our skull giving rise to a fantasy are objective in the sense
that they are objects. They are energy currents and chemical changes and

I meant that the basic spacetime continuum is lower than the human states of
consciousness. As such, the lower spacial dimensions cannot perceive the
subtle beings or gods that can only be perceived by the human brain and
consciousness.
Re The pineal gland is a possible physical explanation for the visions. But
it's also possible that these visions are actually manifestations of subtle
beings that exist in another dimension of space and consciousness and are
picked up by the mind at its heightened peak of receptivity by DMT.:
