In those moments when focus on creative work overrides input from
the outside world, we are in a creative trance. This
psychologically significant altered state of consciousness is
inherent in everyone. It can take the form of daydreams generating
scientific or creative ideas, hyperfocus in sports, visualizations
that impact entire civilizations, life-changing audience
experiences, or meditations for self-transformation that may access
states beyond trance, becoming gateways to transcendence. Artist
and psychologist Tobi Zausner shows how creative trance not only
operates in scientific inventions and works of art in all media,
but is also important in creating and recreating the self. Drawing
on insights from cognitive neuroscience, clinical psychology and
post-materialist psychology, this book investigates the diversity
of the creative trance ranging from non-industrial societies to
digital urban life, and its presence in people from all backgrounds
and abilities. Finally, Zausner investigates the future of trance
in our rapidly changing world.
