The process of sensory and cognitive detachment can be broken down into 5 distinct levels of increasing intensity: | ||
#'''Partial detachment''' - This can be described as feelings of surreality and general detachment from the external environment. It is often accompanied by a sense of mild to moderate energetic stimulation. | #'''Partial detachment''' - This can be described as feelings of surreality and general detachment from the external environment.

#'''Total detachment from environment''' - This is complete disconnection from the body. It is here where the user finds themselves undergoing an out-of-body experience as they enter the [[Visual_disconnection#Holes.2C_spaces_and_voids|dissociative hole]]. | #'''Total detachment from environment''' - This is complete disconnection from the body.

#'''Detachment from self''' - The level of dissociation and detachment that occurs during this point results in a process in which the brain's neurons become so disconnected that a person's sense of "I", self and mind ceases to exist, resulting in [[Ego suppression, loss and death|ego death]]. | #'''Detachment from self''' - The level of dissociation and detachment that occurs during this point results in a process in which the brain's neurons become so disconnected that a person's sense of "I", self and mind ceases to exist, resulting in [[Ego suppression, loss and death|ego death]]. | ||
#'''Detachment from awareness''' - The highest level of detachment occurs when the neurons within a person's brain have become so disconnected from each other that the tripper literally passes out into total unconsciousness. This consistently leaves extended gaps in a person's memory and large periods of [[Amnesia|amnesia]] which are generally impossible to recall once the experience is over.</onlyinclude> It's at this level that [[ | #'''Detachment from awareness''' - The highest level of detachment occurs when the neurons within a person's brain have become so disconnected from each other that the tripper literally passes out into total unconsciousness.
