			"A stranger writes from Seattle that he had produced extraordinary changes of consciousness-which he doesn’t describe—by fasting and going without sleep over a weekend. This, of course, is what so many mystics, East and West, have done. Asceticism is...motivated by the desire to get in touch with the [[Other World]], and the knowledge, personal or vicarious, that “mortification” leads through the door in the wall."<ref>Aldous Huxley, “Chapter Nine: 1953 Letters,” in Moksha (Rochester, Vermont: Park Street Press, 1999).</ref>

	"Among some Inuit of the Arctic, one way to have a successful quest for power was to spend four or five days in a special isolated igloo in the depths of winter without food or water. When the specified time elapsed, an elder, usually a shaman, opened the igloo and brought the person home. The igloo did not have even an oil lamp to heat it, so the suffering from extreme cold was combined with suffering from lack of water and food."<ref>Harner, Michael.
