[[File:Yinyang2.png|200px|thumbnail|right|In Chinese philosophy, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yin_and_yang yin and yang], are concepts used to describe how opposite or contrary forces are actually complementary, interconnected and interdependent in the natural world.]]

'''Perception of interdependent opposites''' can be described as a powerful subjective feeling that reality is based upon a binary system in which the existence of fundamentally important concepts or situations logically arise from and depend upon the co-existence of their opposite. This perception is not just ~~merely~~ understood at a cognitive level, but manifests as intuitive sensations which are felt rather than thought by the person.

This perception is not just understood at a cognitive level, but manifests as intuitive sensations which are felt rather than thought by the person.

This experience is usually interpreted as providing a deep insight into the fundamental nature of reality. For example, concepts such as ''existence and nonexistence, life and death, up and down, self and other, light and dark, good and bad, big and small, pleasure and suffering, yes and no, internal and external, hot and cold, young and old, etc'' are felt to exist as harmonious ~~states~~ which necessarily contrast their opposite force.

Perception of interdependent opposites is most commonly induced under the influence of heavy dosages of [[psychedelic]] [[tryptamine|tryptamines]] such as [[psilocin]], [[ayahuasca]], [[DMT]], and [[4-AcO-DMT]]. The effect is commonly accompanied by other [[transpersonal effects]] such as [[ego death]], [[unity and interconnectedness]], and [[perception of eternalism]].
