Gnosis , being an intense state of no-mind, or one-pointedness, involves seeking out an altered state of brain consciousness. It is believed that over time a transformation of psychological structures can be achieved. Gnosis can be achieved in many ways that temporarily alter the brain's chemistry:

• sex
• drugs
• Hyperventilation (taking in too much oxygen)
• Confronting a fear (panic attack induced by snakes, heights, etc)
  
• Strong emotions such as love, hate, rage, confusion, etc.
• Meditation (to vacuity or other state)
  • Labyrinth meditation
  • Samhain ancestor meditation
  • Nature meditation on amergin
• Pain
• Spinning (dizziness/confusion, whirling dervishes)
• Staring into a strobelight (using visual system to stimulate rhythmic electronic pulses in the brain, may activate epileptic seizures in some people)
• Running to complete physical exhaustion (endorphin rush)
• Holding it as long as you possibly can before going to the bathroom
• Adrenaline rush (bungee jumping, parachuting, holding up a 7-11, etc)
• Drumming (using audio sensory system to stimulate rhythmic electrical pulses in the brain)
• Chanting
• Mantras
• Singing
• Listening to music Really Really Really loudly (especially ambient music. This is done in the Bodyworks exhibit to achieve a surreal atmosphere.)
• Creating artwork (Automatic Expression and gnosis )
• Video games ([Sigils])
• Holding your breath (either with or without air in your lungs)
• Hunger and/or thirst (fasting)
• Sensory overload (For example, pain, sex, fear, hyperventilation, loud music, and strobe light all at once)
• chakra piercing (practiced in some Australian rituals)
• Sensory deprivation
• Listening to white noise until it's no longer white noise
• Sitting on a powerpoint (most graveyards, incidentally, are powerpoints)
• Blood rush to head (standing on your head or hanging from your feet)
• Shamanic body postures (see the works of Belinda Gore and Felicitas Goodman)
• Killing something (rituals of the hunt, rituals of manhood)
• Sacrificing something you value
• Rollercoasters (works best if you keep your eyes shut)
• Spinning on an office chair, with eyes closed, while bobbing head up and down (used as training for weightlessness by Soviet cosmonauts)
• Gazing (crystal balls, pools, mirrors, a random spot on the wall)
• Sleep deprivation (aim for five days or more for best results)
• Lucid Dreaming (ability to know you are in a dream state, and control the dream state without coming out of the dream)
• Martial Arts (if you're willing to make a ten year investment)
• Jumping through a bonfire
• Dancing
• Lighting yourself on fire
• Mosh Pits (actually just a combination of Loid Noise, Dancing, and Pain)
