"different brain states"

Clearly the brain is capable of experiencing more than 1 state - otherwise all experience would be completely uniform

I don't believe that there is something supernatural to which our brains might be attuned

Can we, by meditation or drugs, induce a dream-like state while waking? Probably. Is it beneficial to do so? I am quite doubtful.

I think much human foolishness comes from stimulating a natural and healthy mechanism outside of its evolved context. For example, homosexuality stimulates reproductive urges (and the attendant pleasure) outside of the reproductive context. 

 The tortoise lays on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun, beating its legs trying to turn itself over, but it can't. Not without your help. But you're not helping. 

 Damn turtles
They kidnapped the princess 

 We got one.
