If you love freediving you've probably outgrown most of that other stuff.

I mean, euphoria is fun and everything - but its also a state and no state exists without its immediate opposite. There is also the release from our usual conditioning, habits blah blah - which liberates tremendous energy resulting in a sort of 'high' - the problem is people become addicted to the release - and the technology that promotes it - when its not really about the release but about a much more profound sort of shift. Idreas Shah in his book, The Sufis, says the Sufic attitude toward Euphoric states is that dwelling on them is essentially a dissipation of potential. I would say such states can serve as portals, insofar as they are moments when the mechanics of identity are suspended, but the point of interest is the discreet continuum between states.
