Because of the relative rarity and power of this experience with Nature, it is often described as "God". In this way, God can be reconciled with the drug-taking mentality in an attempt to make the ego impregnable. Conveniently, one does not require any wisdom to know this God: any fool can lose themselves in the beauty of a sunset!
In contrast, the sage, having penetrated to the truth of things, sees neither complexity nor simplicity. Nor does he see power or weakness, great or small, beauty or ugliness. He has seen to the heart of Nature, and is no longer in awe. Never again can he feel wonder in Her company. Now, rather than merely submitting to Her, he submits his ego to Her - his own self. This is called dying the Great Death.
The fool is intelligent enough to see the immensity of Nature, but not enough to see that he is a part of it, and is it.
Only the courageous can know the meaning of the profound teaching: "You are that". Only they can fathom the meaning of Jesus's words: "Cleave the wood and I am there, raise the stone, and you will find me." (The gospel of Thomas)
