Reality Tunnel is a term coined by Timothy Leary and popularised by Robert Anton Wilson. It refers to the concept that with a subconscious set of filters formed from their beliefs and experiences, everyone interprets this same world differently, hence "Truth is in the eye of the beholder". The individual world each person occupies is said to be their reality tunnel.
It is believed that through various techniques one can break down old reality tunnels and impose new reality tunnels by removing old filters and replacing them with new ones, new perspectives on reality - at will. This is achieved through various processess of deprogramming using neuro-linguistic programming, cybernetics, hypnosis, bio-feedback devices, meditation, controlled use of hallucinogens, and forcibly acting out other Reality Tunnels. Thusly, it is believed ones Reality Tunnel can be widened to take full advantage of human potential and experience reality on more positive levels.
