I know many fundamentalists who balk at everything psychological, but when a member does not respond to the Churchianity methods they usually send the victim to a shrink. Regarding altered states, you can't avoid them. The brain cranks out alpha every second or two. Every time yoiu close your eyes, your in alpha. If you fall asleep in church your in theta, so you might as well sin on the side of progress. Some of the dimbbest people I know are preachers. Just rambling.
