Sure, I grok that. Its amazing how excited we all were as children when we found
out that our perceptions dont equal reality. Then it got worse when one day we come
to the conclusion that we were all that existed and our brains created the world for
us to play in. Then it was even better when I realized that my brain ain't so
important after all, at least to the rest of you, and that its really just an organ
that happens to produce consciousness as a side effect. Then I decided, I like
consciousness, and would play with altering it - then everything got dizzy and here
I am!
