So would this mean that passive trance states are generally considered damaging? is sleep considered damaging to your brain? staring at walls?
I'm honestly asking as I would imagine that a fair few people on these boards would spend a good deal of time in altered states, trance, meditation etc.. I personally spend loads of time day dreaming, which can involve staring blankly at the walls while my brain has a party, I also use a lot of trance/altered states... And how about people who commute staring blankly aheadwhile they listen to music - passive entertainment in a trancelike state - dangerous? .... is the issue the sitting and staring/ the passive mind or the altered state?
If it is the passive mind then wouldn't watching things that are mentally stimulating and make you think/converse be in the "safe" basket?
