The subsequent attitudes were convincingly described by the world famous chemist, the author of the first in science history laboratory synthesis of organic substance, the founder of "chemical structure" scientific school, academician Alexander M. Butlerov (1828-86). There is a fragment here of introspective analysis of his attitudes dynamics to effects observed by him on a course of spiritistic sessions:

First you stand absolutely amazed before the evidence of your own feelings proving the reality of such things which you has got used to consider contradicting sensible mind.

Also R. Monroe (Robert A. Monroe, the founder of Institute of Monroe, Faber, Virginia, USA), researcher of OBE (see s-n 8.3), testifies to a painful confusion close to frustration: After several years (of previous researches stage i.e. in the moment when researchers were not already beginners at all – À.Ì.)... these events have really dumbfounded us. From time to time we merely did not know what to do [ 86, p. 60].
It is apparently from these evidences, an adaptable stage as, however, each of these stages, can be stretched for a long time. But also on the opposite, each stage can be passed so quickly, that can remains to be not noticed, or to be absent at all. Each of them can also happen to become the last – a research/mastering of DP can be interrupted at it, in particular – by passing into the stage of nihilism.
