The dimensions for mapping states of consciousness is interesting: Degree of control, awareness of enviroment, ability to communicate, concentration, degree of energy or arousal, emotion, sense of identity, out of body expierence, nature of inner expierence..this almostr sounds to me like a guide to stay successful....The visual on page 241 was useful to me. The schizophrenic journey is much more diorganized than the shamanic. The lack of control being the key factor in the schizophrenic. I took yoga at HACC for my gym credit..i remember always deep breathing using the Ojai breath and focusing on an object in my head....it was pretty relaxing.
I think it is interesting that frontotemporal lobe dementia can induce exceptional creativity..."failure in one part of the brain can spark life in another". Seeing as how, when i took yoga, i was doing it to relax...it never really made me more creative. For the 'vison-seeker' they are looking to expierence a greater reality. For artists, the creative urge is to be able to express a personal vision, whether or not it is understood by anyone else.
What can be induced from hypnotism is incredible. Bloodless wounds, enormous strength, rediculous weakness can be induced. Super adrenaline..i want to try going under hypnotization!!
