Altered states of consciousness are cause by what conditions?
Altered states of consciousness can occur from many different causes. What is commonly considered to be the cause is a chemical change in the body. This can be from ingesting, or otherwise introducing a known substance into the body that produces altered states of consciousness, or by altering the body's chemistry internally by fasting, sleep deprivation, pain, or meditation. Altered states of consciousness are very natural and occur to everyone, though most people do not recognize when it happens to them. And example would be if you were ever engrossed in some activity that you lost track of time, and then were surprised when you realized it. Some people do things like play games, knitting, working on car, reading, etc. and experience an altered state without realizing it. That is one reason why video games are so addicting.
