  1. Many religious_spiritual practices involve constant, repeated stimuli that help to induce an altered state of consciousness: Chanting, singing, clapping, drumming, dancing, meditating while looking at geometric patterns, IE: Mandalas. Further back in human history an absence of stimuli was used for the same effect. They'd use a burning torch to go into a cave where sunlight couldn't reach, extinguish the torch and sit. This is how some cave art was inspired. Now some people achieve the same in blackout flotation tanks. So, I'm wondering if Spanian's spiritual experiences could be explained like this? Staring at the wall, for long periods - meditating and with no TV, radio, no stimuli? This isn't meant to negate his experience, just found intriguing 🤠💜
