Then see how mental phenomena are definitive regarding all experience. Then it makes perfect sense that one can be born in the Pure Land just as one is born here because of karma.
Never really bought into this argument. People see all kinds of things, that doesn't make them real or true. DMT is naturally produced in the brain that gives rise to hallucinations and that's what happens a lot in deep meditation.
