physiological changes indicating increased alertness are also present. Difference may be assessed
by looking at adaptive efficiency of physiological processes rather than reduction of somatic
arousal during stress.

East in search of enlightenment were searching for self- actualization and experiential
awareness, and were more highly motivatedind had stronger egos than those who joined cults.
