Consensus Trance and CT

Poetry should not need explanations.
And yet, sometimes it may be nice to know what I mean.
In my last post I wrote about 'consensus trance'.
This term was coined (in my perception) by Charles Tart:

"...see how normal waking consciousness is the product of a true hypnotic procedure that is practiced by parents, teachers, and peers, reinforced by every social interaction, and maintained by powerful taboos."


Happy Awakening, or sweet dreams, whichever applies!
