“Our general perceptions are that when your brain is disordered, you lose all function,” Parnia told me. “What we’re finding is that, paradoxically, in disordered states, sometimes that disorder actually opens up pathways to new abilities that were hidden before.” These instances of disinhibition seem to connect people, in Parnia’s view, “to parts of their consciousness that they couldn’t access before.”
