What makes you so sure that all this is evidence of a higher plane of existence, rather than an unwitting perspective of a physiological effect? What makes you so sure that our perception of reality isn't simply a physiological effect? Other animals on this planet, I assume, don't seek enlightenment and ascension from their plane of existence... so could it be possible that the reason many of us do can be attributed to nothing more than a complex fabric of human intelligence and emotion?
And would that fabric be evidence of anything more than the ability to feel and imagine?
