Can LSD glimpse the view from nowhere?

There is no doubt that we each have private, uniquely subjective experiences that exist only in our heads. Furthermore, we can only perceive the world from our first-person perspectives, as separate from the world. This may follow from the fact that consciousness and its contents are creations of our brains. Yet, as we have seen, each of our consciousnesses is a part of the world. Hofmann believed that LSD could allow us to perceive this. Is it possible that LSD allows the brain to perceive aspects of this elusive “view from nowhere” that includes other viewpoints?
