	Ecstasy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Other uses of this term include ecstacy (drug) and religious ecstasy.
		Ecstasy, from the Greek ekstasis, to be outside oneself, is a category of trance or trancelike states in which an individual transcends ordinary consciousness and as a result has a heightened capacity for exceptional thought or experience.
		These may include profound emotional feeling, intense concentration on a specific task, extraordinary physical abilities, and especially awareness of non-ordinary mental spaces, which may be perceived as spiritual (the latter type of ecstasy often takes the form of religious ecstasy).

	Religious ecstasy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Religious ecstasy can be distinguished from spirit possession and hypnosis in that ecstasy is not accompanied by a loss of consciousness or will on the part of the subject experiencing it.
		The particular technique that an individual uses to induce ecstasy is usually one that is associated with that individual's particular religious and cultural traditions.
		Indeed, ecstasy is the primary vehicle for the type of prophetic visions and revelations found in the Bible.

	Ecstasy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		More commonly known today by the street name Ecstasy, MDMA (Systematic name: 3,4-methylenedioxy-N-methylamphetamine) is a synthetic drug of the phenethylamine family whose primary effect is to stimulate the brain to rapidly secrete large amounts of serotonin, causing a general sense of openness, energy, euphoria, and well-being.
		Although proper characterization of Ecstasy pills requires advanced lab facilities such as GCMS, it is also possible to use a less accurate presumptive alkaloid test known as the Marquis reagent.
		In the United States, MDMA was legal and unregulated until July 1985, at which time it was added to DEA Schedule 1, for drugs deemed to have no medical uses and a high potential for abuse.

	the brain
		This is the condition of ecstasy, a state in which the speed of the processor goes back to normal, the operating program is that of wakefulness, but the data being processed are completely hallucinatory because they no longer come from the outside but originate directly from the inside of the central nervous system itself.
		As opposed to this sequence of states of excitement, there is a continuum constituted by a series of states of consciousness caused by a progressive decrease in the sensorial input and in the processing speed of the elaborator/cortex.
		In other words, each state resembles a cocktail in which the various "higher nervous functions" are represented in variable proportions: when this mixture steadily persists for psychologically relevant periods of time (and therefore long enough for a recognisable subjective experience to take place), we may call this a "distinct state of consciousness".

	Macrocosm/Microcosm: Lecture 1: The World Behind the Tapestry of Sense-perceptions. Ecstasy and Mystical Experience.
		Ecstasy and mystical experience are abnormal states, but in everyday life there is something which helps us to be aware of the barriers referred to very much more clearly-namely, the alternating states of waking and sleeping through which we pass within 24 hours.
		In the state of ecstasy, the Ego, which is one member of the human being, has been abandoned; and in sleep another member too is abandoned, for the astral body goes out of the physical body as well, and with this departure of the astral body the possibility of consciousness is eliminated.
		But if we could have from someone in ecstasy a description of his raptures and torments, we should be able to say that the person in ecstasy may derive from his vision of beings and events experiences such as those of the mystic.

		Ecstasy is a category of trances and trancelike states in which an individual has a heightened capacity for one or more of certain kinds of thought or experience.
		Achieving ecstatic trances is a major activity of shamans, who seek ecstasy for such purposes as travelling to heaven or the underworld, guiding or otherwise interacting with spirits, clairvoyance, and healing.
		Some shamans use drugs from such plants as peyote and cannabis in their attempts to reach ecstasy, while others rely on such non-chemical means as ritual, music, dance, or visual designs, as aids to mental discipline.
