Ekstasis is the state of being outside ones self. We seek to do this in many many ways, including feeling ourselves against the forces of gravity, altered states through extrinsic chemicals, or through the altering of chemical states that can occur naturally in the body. This is where we want to feel speed in various dimensions, drugs, sex, dancing, etc. etc.

If this isn’t shaped and managed well it will wreck our lives or we’ll be so safe and controlled that we’ll never get to feel outside ourselves. I, for one, need to get outside of me on a regular basis because if my ego and sense of self runs the show I’m an uptight asshole.
