Waking, logical thought isn't the only way to understand ourselves and the world. For most of human history, people have used dreams, visionary and out-of-body states as another way of knowing.
Not a departure from reality, but a deeper way into it.
A landmark study of 488 societies found that 90% had their own methods for reaching these altered states of awareness; we've lost this in the modern West.
Harnessed as a skill, these practices become a doorway to the unconscious mind. Enabling insight and clarity that the waking mind can't reach alone. It is an untapped resource for making hard decisions, healing psychological trauma, and ultimately, living a fulfilled life.
