In my opinion I feel like Fakir Musafar created a cult like following which was/is a pretence of an out of body spiritual experience but in reality is just a controversial was to self-mutilate. Yet many believe in the positive results of body play. This practise is related to the BDSM community which allows individuals to experiment in self-mutilation or mutual harm as a form of sexual or individual pleasures so I think it is hard to comment of the experiences of others who partake in these practices. But I feel there is value to the mindset that physical harm is viewed positively largely in contrast to what the rest of society portrays, so this could be worth delving into different mindsets for my visual practise.
