===Interplay of hylotropic and holotropic impulses in the psyche===
Grof distinguishes between two modes of consciousness: the ''hylotropic'' and the ''holotropic''.{{sfn|Wilber|1998|p=165}} The hylotropic mode relates to "the normal, everyday experience of [[consensus reality]]".{{sfn|Grof|1988|p=38}} In contrast, holotropic is characteristic of non-ordinary states of consciousness such as meditative, mystical, or psychedelic experiences.{{sfn|Grof|1988|p=39}} According to Grof, contemporary psychiatry often categorizes these non-ordinary states as pathological.{{sfn|Grof|1988|p=39}} Grof connects the hylotropic to the [[Buddhist]] conception of [[Namarupa#Nāmarūpa in Buddhism|namarupa]] ("name and form"), the separate, individual, illusory lower self. He connects the holotropic to the Hindu conception of [[Atman-Brahman]].{{sfn|Butler|2014|p=9}}
