THE AMBIGUOUS MEANING OF TRANCE: PRODUCTION OF SPIRITUAL EXPERIENCES IN ALTERED STATES OF CONSCIOUSNESS IN THE CONTEXT OF NEO-SHAMANISM
Popis výsledku v původním jazyce
The paper draws upon an anthropological field study exploring new religious movements - in particular neo-shamanism - which I am currently undertaking. The research employs the participant observation method and deals with a typical feature of many of these movements: the intentional bringing about of altered states of consciousness and subsequent unusual experiences (visions) to use as part of spiritual practice. According to neo-shamans, their spiritual "journeys" take place in a trance. However, as Idiscovered during my field research, the meaning of the word "trance" in the neo-shamanic context differs significantly from its more common general understanding. The expressions trance, altered state of consciousness, vision, etc. are popular terms which are used regularly, but their exact meaning is seldom clarified and discussed, even in scholarly texts. In order to open up such a discussion and map the meaning and significance assigned to the word trance in the neo-shamanic context
