Practical Sigil Magic: Creating Personal Symbols For Success, Suggestions please? Options

In the book Practice Sigil Magic: Creating Personal Symbols for Success

To anyone who have read this book, please answer some questions as best as you can.

I fully understand how sigil working works but I really don't like the method of trance, specially those suggested by this book, such as near death experience or sex.
I don't do drugs and will never do and I was thinking some way such as how the movie "Inception" managed to place and idea in your unconscious.

Hmm... also, why can't just scrying to the sigil and reaching a trance state do the job?

My favorite saying from when I was a Discordian was "You mean you NEED drugs to hallucinate?" I normally like what Frater U. : D. : writes but will admit his writings tend to include examples that, while correct as a metaphor, get confusing. Like the drugs and near death experience methods you cite. I have not read the book but it sounds like he is showing a lot of different states of consciousness. Its just a state of mind where the "normal" is viewed in a new, less subjective-analytic frame. Like you say any trance state will do so long as you don't then think about if it worked. The sex bit stumps me though; that is a very good, very simple way to give life to your sigil. Not sure why your not on with that.

Also, scrying is a form a divination. Sigils are assertive magick to change something.
