There are various methods for achieving non-ordinary states of consciousness. Dreaming is the most common, but for 1,000’s of years, humans have also been using meditation, breath-work, prayer, dance, &/or psychedelic-medicines to alter their perceptions. These non-ordinary state mystical experiences are often indescribable, and frequently regarded as transformational.

Neuroscience is beginning to understand the physical processes involved in mystical experiences; specifically, the existence & function of the Default Mode Network (DMN).

It starts @ 11:00, and the portions relating to psychedelic-induced mystical experiences & the Default Mode Network go until 17:05. (If you’re interested in a sometimes flawed theoretical model of treating male domestic-violence offenders with psilocybin, then by all means, start at the very beginning.)
