It has what every travel mug needs
3 von 3 finden das hilfreich I am very pleased with this item. One important feature that some similar looking mugs lack, is that the spring that holds the flip top back, when it is open, is strong. It will never fall forward into the stream of liquid when you pour out. It is good at keeping things hot, and for a mug with a 12 oz capacity, it is compact. Looks good too.

An evolutionary theory of trance
This is in part a follow-up of the author's "Wondrous Events" (1994), which you should read instead, if you only read one of the two. McClenon has done a great deal of research asking people about religious experiences and experiences such as alien abductions and seeing ghosts, and this research, conducted in North Carolina, is very valuable indeed. It shows the nature of seeing a ghost to be quite different than most people, if they haven't seen one, would suppose. Some of this research is repeated here, but it is better covered in the eariler book.
'Wondrous Healing" is about healing by shamans, primarily, and McClenon has an evolutionary theory: he tells this story-
suppose two boys of a hunter/gatherer band are sick, and their aunt, who is dancing about in such a state of excitement that she sticks her foot in the fire without feeling it. She announces that the spirit world has decided the boys will recover. One of the boys beleives this, and due to the placebo effect, he does recover. The other boy thinks his aunt is crazy, and so has no reason to hope to live, and in this hopelessness he gets worse and dies.
From events such as this, McClenon supposes, a gene for being hypnotizable or suggestible, which one boy had and the other does not, becomes more common in the population. The result in time is that there are shamans who dance and do fire-walking, and patients who are healed by them.
The problems with this are fairly obvious. It may provide an explanation for hypnotizability, but none for trance, since it is not the proto-shaman whose survival is promoted, but the patient's. Even for the placebo effect, the explanation is poor: why should the two boys regard the ability to walk on fire to be a proof of authority? This may seem reasonable to us, with our religious world-view, but to assume that this connection between fire-walking and healing already existed, before the evolution of trance states and psychic healing, is to assume the prior existence of the thing that is to explained.
