>The main thing is to know how to set about it, to be able to concentrate your attention on a single detail, to forget yourself sufficiently to bring about the desired hallucination and so substitute the vision of a reality for the reality itself.

Is this the source of all pleasure, and also the source of all pain anons

You've made me think about it and I'd say it may be. Pros being that this is a beautiful state to be in, and that it has everything to do with exactly what you want it to be, because of your choice of concentration.
Cons because of the freedom that a person has to choose what to concentrate on, because a person may realize that this purity of concentration may never be fully achieved (or must keep at it always), because others choose to concentrate on things antagonistic to us or do not concentrate at all.
Yeah I would say this is a very beautiful and troubling reality. And strangely it is not just an issue of humans having consciousness and its direction etc. There seems to be an added component of some kind of magic involved, which is actually the erasure of this same consciousness, because of its own use. Very odd
