"If I get you to lie down, close your eyes and relax, and report what your imagination gives you, then you'll probably go into a deep state of absorption" - jesus fuck keith how relaxed were british people in the 60s and 70s that they could apparently all do this

i don't think i've ever experienced this awake even on psychedelics. "the experiences will seem to be happening to you"-level vividness i've only ever experienced in hypnagogia while on the edge of falling asleep or waking up, usually not even in my dreams

i'm actually curious if you can comment on this b/c i assume you've led people through stuff like this before; how easily do the people you work with get to this level of absorption / vividness?
