'Not everyone who hallucinates is having an episode of psychosis. And not everyone who has psychosis necessarily hallucinates.'
, breath work, yoga, and prayer, our stress level lowers. This is shown through both subjective report and neurobiological indices. Anecdotal report of the benefits of therapeutic use of psychedelics is similar to my experience of non-ordinary states.
It appears to be different from a psychotic disorder. Listening to those who have a diagnosis of psychotic disorder, I would say 100 percent of the time, the disorder does not lower stress. Additionally, again as I listen to those explain their experience, I would say what I learn is that the experience of having a psychotic disorder appears to contract or destroy one's experience of self on a non-temporary basis.
My experience of non-ordinary reality states are closer to that of an altered state but have some other components. Initially, when I began to experience non-ordinary reality states, they happened spontaneously, and when they were occurring, I did not have complete control over my behavior. It was as if I had jumped from the far end of the awareness continuum to the far end of the other side of the continuum in one breath and without attempting to or wanting to do so.
I would like to add two other components to the non-ordinary reality states I have experienced: that the majority of them have not been self-referent, and for the small number of times they have felt they were about me or that I was being spoken to personally, it has been a positive, warm, extremely loving experience.
