| Abstract

Is there a relationship between pain and alternative reality of consciousness? The problem is there conflicting approaches to pain and alternative reality of consciousness. Our society's response to pain sometimes includes a description of having a mental disorder. Our society's response to experiencing an alternative reality of consciousness often includes a diagnosis of psychosis which is a label of having a severe mental disorder that diminishes the quality of life of the experiencer and their family. Included in this response is a prescription: the individual experiencing psychosis is to be escorted immediately to a hospital emergency room where psychiatric evaluation can be fully conducted with or without the individual's consent. George Fox went through high intense pain during which, he heard a voice. Later, he became the founder of the religion Society of Friends (Quakers). I conducted my research and did an ethnography in several cities in the Southeastern part of Pennsylvania which is founded by William Penn a member of the Society of Friends. that suggest otherwise. I used linguistic approaches, combined quantitative and qualitative data. As quantitative approach I used pamphlets, publications, websites created by the group of focus. As qualitative approach I used participant observation and conducted interviews. The purpose of this thesis is to demonstrate pain, and an alternative reality of consciousness, and spiritual transformation as an unconscious rite of passage to wholeness for the sake of the other. The anthropological analyses explain the stages and pattern of our society's treatment towards pain and alternative reality of consciousness. It also includes information on our society's expectations, what it lacks, and our society's needs for change; therefore, demonstrating the function of the unconscious rite of passage, is not only for personal identity but to re-construct a new society for the sake of others. The theological analyses focus on the theme of friendship, spiritual transformation to re-construct society for the sake of others and the heart’s EMF influence on the brain’s EMF.
