Crystal gazing, scrying (entry
into 'inner space' by staring fixedly at external objects) and
clairvoyance go back almost to the dawn of human consciousness. There is
reason to believe that, long before the invention of writing, tribal
shamans, wise men and priest-clairvoyants of primitive societies used
methods of inducing vision and trance which were identical with those
used by crystal-gazers of today. It is another form of 'dissociation of
consciousness'. This means that the mind is detached from the outer
world, from its everyday concerns and the sense impressions, so that it
turns inwards. In this way, the crystal gazer discovers 'inner space'...
the riches of the strange states of consciousness of which all men and
women are capable, and which allow the scryer's mind (or part of it) to
wander freely through time and space. |
