William James said, our normal waking consciousness is but one form of consciousness, whilst all about it parted from it by the filmeest of veils, screams, there lie other types of consciousness entirely different. We may pass through our entire lives without suspecting their existence but apply the requisite stimulus and at a touch they are there in all their completeness," he says.
