To ask, a question about Dion Fortune's definition of magic: the art and science of causing change in consciousness in accordance with will. Up until now, I read unconsciousness, but it says consciousness. Merriam-webster defines consciousness as:
the upper level of mental life of which the person is aware as contrasted with unconscious processes
the power of control over one's own actions or emotions
So consciousness is the mental life you are aware of, minus the control you exert over it. To help me better understand what that means I have this question:
What is an example of a change in consciousness? From what consciousness to which consciousness?
