Nah, it's not about how self-centered we are. It's about ego death. It's about letting go of our mind projecting ourself out onto the world around us. If you are too wrapped up in your own sense of self, all you do is see your own ideas about things in the world around you; just like in Taoism, you see the manifestations instead of the mystery itself. Using LSD, it is much easier to let go of your own sense of self and realize that the idea of an individual "I" is just something made up by your own ego, that all of your emotions come from the same place (see bold as love). Once you let go of that, smashing the mirrors, you can really see the world for all that it truly is, without projecting yourself onto it. Just fully experiencing and sensing it finally, living in the moment at all times.
