Clearly. I'm talking about THE reality, the one we can perceive around us. Not sure what reality you're talking about.
And I'm pretty sure you do not understand my point which is - "personal experience" isn't worth sh*t, as far as understanding any kind of reality is concerned. I've done drugs - I know I can "experience" anything, given the right circumstances. That doesn't mean that a spiritual reality exists, just that our brains are pretty easy to trick - they can even often trick themselves. Hence superstition and mysticism.
And as far as evidence is concerned - so far EVERYTHING that has been proven to exist (or in other words - to be real, as in "reality"), has left evidence. If your magical reality doesn't involve evidence, then that's pretty suspicious.
