What is Altered States of Conciousness?
An altered state of consciousness (ASC), also called an altered state of mind, altered mental status (AMS) or mind alteration, is any condition which is significantly different from a normal waking state
A classification of Altered States of Consciousness is helpful for comparing or differentiating induced ASCs and other variations of consciousness. Various researchers have attempted the classification into a broader framework. A classification with five categories was suggested by Dieter Vaitl to distinguish ASCs according to how they were induced:
- Pathological (Epilepsy, brain damage)
- Pharmacological (psychoactive substances) - see class V
- Physical and physiological (fasting and sex) - class VI and III
- Psychological (music, meditation, hypnosis) - class IV, I and II
- Spontaneous (day-dreaming and near death experience)
Classes I-VI delve into Hermetic teachings on how to apply theory and practice to expand one's consciousness within these realms.
