Altered States

There are piles of various ways people can expand their mind further than their own looking glasses. These include, but are most certainly not limited to, sensory deprivation, meditation, pain induction, and substance consumption - there are quite a pocketful of differentiations of which as well, from amphetamines to stress relievers to psychedelics. Everyone has a frame of mind contingent upon what they have been subjected to throughout their life and it is often limited to personal views and biases sprinkled about, usually not realizing their mental restrictions. It can be difficult to perceive things objectively, whether involved or not.

Some people exercise their minds through deep thought and concentration, affecting their nervous system if done properly. Others may take things that make them more capable of completing tasks that aid in productivity and efficiency, also causing them to feel what they are doing more intimately, making them more passionate about what they are doing thus weaving in more ingenuity. There are also rituals that cause deep relaxation and a more open mind with whatever happens. Various practices aid in expanding the mind, sometimes allowing one to get a completely different spin on things. There are doors that can be opened in the mind that can only be found with certain rituals, causing a flood of new insight and rapture for existence. If one chooses to carry out certain things to better oneself then I cannot see any problem with doing so. It merely depends on the purpose of the entity for doing such things. Moderation and intention makes the difference in the outcomes. Take control and allow your mind to reach its highest capacity. Dig through it.
