When we immerse ourselves in creative work, disregarding external distractions, we enter a state of profound psychological transformation known as a creative trance. This state, inherent in all individuals, manifests in various forms, including daydreams that spark scientific or artistic ideas, intense focus in sports, visualizations that shape entire civilizations, transformative audience experiences, and meditations for self-transformation that can transcend ordinary consciousness, opening doors to transcendence. Artist and psychologist Tobi Zausner explores the profound impact of creative trance on both scientific inventions and artistic creations across all media. He reveals that it is not only crucial in the realm of science and art but also plays a vital role in shaping and recreating the self. Drawing upon insights from cognitive neuroscience, clinical psychology, and post-materialist psychology, Zausner delves into the diverse manifestations of creative trance, spanning from non-industrial societies to digital urban landscapes, and its presence among people from diverse backgrounds and abilities. In the final chapter, Zausner examines the future of trance in our rapidly evolving world, considering the potential implications and opportunities it presents for individuals and societies alike.
