“The ladder of success seems to have three main steps. Initially, it is what we “have” that counts; status depends upon visible signs of material wealth. As one progresses, status is afforded by what one “does,” rather than what one has. At this level on the ladder, one’s position and activities bring significant social status, but the attraction of social roles loses glamour as one achieves mastery and matures; it is what one has accomplished that is important.

“The higher the level of these states, the greater its power to reprogram the subject’s entire life. Not uncommonly, just one instant in a very high state can completely change a person’s orientation to life, as well as his goals and values.
