Vision Quest

A vision quest may include long walks in uninhabited, monotonous areas (tundra, inland, mountain); fasting; sleep deprivation; being closed in a small room (e.g. igloo). The technique may be similar to sensory deprivation to a rite of cleansing and purification. One objective is to commune with the other side.

Preparation:

- able to fast- able to camp out for long periods of time - knowledge of first aid - prepare sleeping equipment - or sleep on the ground. - knowledge of spiritual things like meditation - bring a spiritual instrument so you can play or chant - be comfortable with the solitude - if the weather permits you may wish to remove all clothing or cover yourself in a blanket - create a sacred stone circle on the ground in which the person sits - a journal to record your experiences

God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.

Instinct and ABS

Pushing the break paddle is definitely an instinctual action. Our instinct tells us to hold the break when driving on ice. The Antilock Break System in fact reacts to human instanct and unlock the break by pulsing the breaking force.
