Julie and all, Let us be careful.... The key word in your statement may be "allows". I have seen what you describe happen in OS countless times but expanded consciousness does not *automatically* occur. I also believe that OS is not the only technique (large group or other) that makes expanded consciousness possible. So if we're looking for ways to distinguish OS from other approaches, I'm not sure this is it.
