Introduction

Sangravaki's awakening from the meaning crisis. The idea that people have an alternative state of consciousness that they regard as somehow more real than their everyday a state of consciousness. Sangravaki: We tend to judge realness by how well we get an overall coherence in our intelligibility, how we're making sense of things. In these altered states that are very different from our everyday consciousness, and therefore do not cohere with it, people do the alternative.
