Perspectives define how we see and interpret the world around us. They shape our understanding, influence our decisions, and even impact our interactions with others.

​

Perspectives that imprison us are those that limit our potential, stifle our growth, and prevent us from embracing new possibilities. They can manifest in various ways:

​

1. Fixed Mindset: This perspective traps us in the belief that our abilities and intelligence are static and unchangeable. It discourages us from taking risks, learning from mistakes, and seeking challenges, hindering our personal and professional development.

2. Negative Self-Talk: A constant barrage of self-criticism and doubt can create a mental prison. It reinforces our insecurities, undermines our confidence, and makes us hesitant to step outside our comfort zones.

3. Fear of Failure: When we become paralyzed by the fear of making mistakes, we avoid taking risks and pursuing opportunities. This fear can keep us stuck in our current situation, preventing us from exploring new paths and realizing our full potential.

4. Unrealistic Expectations: Setting excessively high standards for ourselves or comparing ourselves unfavorably to others can lead to feelings of inadequacy and disappointment. It can create a constant sense of pressure and prevent us from appreciating our achievements.

5. Black-and-White Thinking: Seeing the world in absolutes, with no room for nuance or shades of gray, can limit our understanding and prevent us from appreciating diverse perspectives. It can lead to rigid thinking and intolerance towards those who hold different views.

6. Victim Mentality: Adopting a victim mindset, where we believe we are powerless to change our circumstances,can trap us in a cycle of helplessness and resentment. It can prevent us from taking ownership of our lives and taking action to improve our situation.

7. Social Conditioning: Societal norms and expectations can sometimes create invisible barriers that limit our choices and aspirations. These constraints can be especially pronounced for individuals from marginalized groups, who may face systemic biases and stereotypes.

​

These are just a few examples of perspectives that can imprison us. Recognizing and challenging these limitations is crucial for breaking free and embracing a life of growth, fulfillment, and possibility. By cultivating a growth mindset,practicing self-compassion, and embracing diverse perspectives, we can unlock our full potential and live a life without constraints.

Perspective one sees in a trance

Sensory Distortions and Hallucinations:

• Visual: Colors might appear more vivid, objects could morph or change shape, patterns may emerge, or one might see entirely new scenes or figures.

• Auditory: Sounds may be amplified or distorted, one could hear voices or music that aren't present, or everyday sounds could take on new meanings.

• Kinesthetic: The body may feel light or heavy, sensations of floating or sinking are common, or one might feel disconnected from their body entirely.

• Synesthesia: A blending of the senses where one might "see" sounds or "taste" colors.

Altered Sense of Time:

• Time Dilation: Time may feel like it's slowing down or speeding up.

• Timelessness: A sense of being outside of time, in an eternal now.

Heightened Emotions:

• Euphoria: Intense feelings of joy, bliss, or peace.

• Fear or Anxiety: In some cases, trance states can trigger negative emotions or past traumas.

Spiritual or Mystical Experiences:

• Oneness: A feeling of connectedness to the universe, nature, or a higher power.

• Out-of-Body Experiences: The sensation of leaving one's physical body and observing it from afar.

• Communication with Spirits or Entities: A belief that one is interacting with beings from other realms.

Changes in Self-Perception:

• Ego Dissolution: A temporary loss of the sense of self or ego.

• Expanded Consciousness: A feeling of heightened awareness or understanding.

• Access to Subconscious: Trance states can sometimes provide insights into one's deeper thoughts and feelings.

Important Considerations:

• Individual Variability: The specific experiences within a trance state vary significantly from person to person, and are influenced by factors such as the induction method, individual suggestibility, and prior experiences.

• Safety: It is important to enter trance states in a safe and controlled environment, ideally with a trained professional if exploring deeper levels of trance.
   

Remember, trance experiences are subjective and unique. These are just some of the potential perspectives a person might encounter.
