>The brain actively obscures reality
Taking certain psychedelics allows you to experience reality with greater vividness and clarity in imagery. If you think about it, images in this reality are made up of individual point signals from many discrete cone and rod cells either triggered by photons interacting with rhodopsin with a potential for false positives and false negatives. This means images are pixelated and if there aren't any photons there you don't get an image. Also images are blurry closer to the periphery of the field of view. In certain psychedelic states however the imagery appears vivid and somehow not blurry at all. Like that's the real reality and this material world is a crude simulation. And you can still "see" even if it's dark unlike in the material world similar to how you can see perfectly fine in dreams when it's dark without a light source.
