part 2 we are exploring the trance level of visual excitability which includes dissociation, psychosis, flowstate, frantic/panic and berserker states
My references and terms tend to include a lot of the more ancient uses of these, such as last stand berserker, as that is one of my interests and also, i think, helps to establish this as not a new phenomena and was integral to human, and any animal’s, survival.
here are several older videos going more in depth in these states to reveal the military and historical utilization of these states, perhaps with better context now

I’ll continue to explore and explain everything and will likely take a few more parts
Important takeaways for part 2:
Somatic experience reduces visual innervation, meaning bringing you out of trance. And a reminder than trance reduces pain reception, making trance states an especially important level to pay attention to as they will dysregulated the nervous system easily. If you forget to breathe while in dissociation, you easily ramp up the SNS and go into panic and angrier or more aggressive states, or simply over activate the PNS and become lethargic and depressed. But more likely jump between berserker/psychosis to depression as one extreme forces longer recovery times.
PNS and visual innervation is a very old evolutionary adaptation with increased hypnotizability being a trait passed down in human, likely for many tens thousands of years as a survival mechanism from prey/predators, childbirth, shamanism, warfare, farming and other labor and at the core of spiritual rituals and communal festivals, more on this in future parts.
