Shamanic Journeys, Temporal Lobe Epilepsy and Schizophrenia
Shamanic traditions often involve "dismemberment" journeys that mirror the experiences of modern DMT users and individuals with temporal lobe epilepsy. Artist Myron Dial is discussed as an example of someone whose epilepsy allows him to visit a place he calls "Zelkon." The discussion posits a spectrum of perception where migraine, epilepsy, and schizophrenia represent progressively wider openings of the "doors of perception" into the Pleroma.
