There is no way to "discover" that people didn't have consciousness 3000 years ago. You can make that hypothesis, but I think it is utterly ridiculous. This was my first thought, but without having read the book I didn't want to express any opinion beyond the fact that it seemed interesting. I often find value in stuff I mostly disagree with. The mystical experience, yes! From the vision quest for a spirit helper to the vision quest for God, they follow the same basic program of dissociating from the body and allowing the mind to hallucinate. I think withholding water speeds up the process more than food as the brain cells shrink dramatically when dehydrated and the processing of sensory input becomes disturbed. Naturally, I do not speak for ALL mystical phenomena. Mustn't nail boards over the door to the unknown. Life requires a little mystery...
