		This might cover mystical experiences that occur under the auspices of a particular sect or within a cultural context, but it does not address the variety of states that might be considered spiritual emergiencies or mystical experiences.
		Within the appropriate cultural context, this journey is often a resolution for an illness that had been diagnosed as a shamanic or initiatory illness, and the shaman returns from the journey not only healed, but able to heal others.
		Both advocate a treatment milieu with a supportive staff able to tolerate bizarre behavior and to understand the acute schizophrenic episode as "a period in which there is an opportunity to reintegrate and to return to a better personal and interpersonal level of functioning" (Rappaport, et al).

	The Right to Hear: The Role of the Audience in Third-Party Advertising Cases
		While it is clear that s.1 is used for analyzing the legitimacy of government legislation in producing and maintaining a free and democratic society, the notions that the courts may have about what democracy entails influences their views on where legitimacy lies.
		With this in mind, an analysis of an application of s.1 must go beyond merely stating that a "free and democratic society" is the goal; it must also critique the consistency between the measures that are applied to a search for democracy and the results of such measures.
		Thirdly, the obedience of the citizenry can be legitimately expected only if that citizenry had ample opportunity to argue convincingly (while receiving a good faith respect for such arguments from the governing structure) against the soundness of the policies that they are expected to obey.

	Spiritual Emergence or Psychosis?
		Although these states have historical and multi-cultural precedents, our society has no categories for these experiences and the people undergoing them, and the similarities to the symptoms of psychosis lead the authorities to treat what might be considered a mystical state as pathology.
		Shamanism occurs in various forms in many cultures all around the globe, and the preparation for the shaman usually involves an experience of a non-ordinary state of consciousness that provides an encounter with death and rebirth.
		In actuality, shamanistic cultures "clearly differentiate between a shaman and a person who is sick or insane" rather than attributing shamanism to any bizarre experience or behaviour they do not understand.

	Asexuality and cultural minorities \| noesis
		I'm hoping that asexuals will have an easier time of it, and will be able to point out their similarities to (and find political allegiance with) other sexual minorities.
		And of course my big hope is that the majority sexual culture will see this alternative as still more variety in the human family, and not as a "threat to the sanctity of marriage" or some other such crap.
		To me, this raises the larger question of just how society decides what kinds of abnormality are diseased and what kinds of abnormality are an acceptable (or cherished) part of human diversity.

	A Letter from Kevin Langdon (including letters by May, O'Brien, & Van Vleck)
		Many members of the Mega Society objected to a name with which our own names had become associated through our membership being appropriated by a non-democratic group which espoused a psychometric position which our membership had voted to repudiate (the one-in-a-million cutoff claim), even though the Mega Society was dormant at that time.
		Some 25 years ago, I joined the old MM Society, which made claims to be a one-in-a-million society, or at least ``the top 2% of Mensa,'' and later, depending on the whim of the leadership, a one-in-100,000 society.
		When the founder passed away, the society, which was then quite active, was simply abolished because a clause in the will stated, ``I do not want the Society to exist without me.'' Later I was expelled from the ISPE in a star-chamber proceeding, apparently because the leadership objected to my role in co-founding TNS.

	CHAPTER XI
		Even the noesis (which we call here social noesis) is constructed not a priori or simply mentally, but in the process of self-construction implicit in differentiated human activities dealing with various objects and hence newly merging interests.
		The "ready-made" object that confronts us in life as an existent mere physical thing (when we disregard all the "spiritual" or "cultural" characteristics that make it knowable as, for example, a hammer, a table, an aesthetic creation) is given, with the originality of the "itself", in the synthesis of a passive experience.
		In this sense, the social noesis is not a metaphysical principle or element, but expresses the process of human activities which is understood only in the process of problem-discovery and problem-solution.

		Buckley (1981) cites E. Bourguignon as concluding that possession trance is an ability that is part of the human potential, as his worldwide studies show that it is utilized in a large percentage of societies.
		It seems that the issue for the therapist faced with a client who appears to be experiencing a psychotic break is more involved than whether or not this could be a mystical experience that is being interpreted as `craziness' due to our lack of cultural acceptance for nonordinary states of consciousness.

		Many members have been accepted into the Society based on scores on this test in the past and members of record at two dates in the past have been assured entry to the Society so it seems reasonable to retain LAIT scores obtained prior to Dec. 31, 1993 as satisfying entry criteria.

		Cattell Culture Fair III (A+B) has a history of use since the early 1920s, but the present edition is dated 1960 and was revised in 1963.

	Radical Noesis - Thinking outside the box
		It is well known that various corporations - mainly the auto and tire manufacturers—made a conscious effort to dismantle our public transportation in the 20th century, and to redesign our communities around the automobile and the diesel truck.
		As a result, these corporations made enormous profits, while we were left with an atomized society highly addicted to oil.
		All that is required to win is determination - determination that we want to live in a free world where everyone has an equal voice in society and in the workplace, and where everyone is assured of their right to a home, to food, to healthcare, and to the pursuit of happiness.
