I am currently working on a research report about music and the brain and get a lot of change and stimulation from the environment, just came back from NY. I am between contemplative bliss and excited crazy projects. Relaxed and aroused at the same time. Thinking about the relationship between spirituality and sexuality and what to do with the loving / kind potential we all are.
I feel really blessed to be here. Just asked the Yi-king and it comes so beautifully...

Trance Rituals, Modern and Ancient, healing technologies for the self and the world
Hello,
I am scrolling through my bibliography to prepare a conference about psychedelic festivals as modern rituals, are you aware of the following works ?
Psychedelic Festivals in the Planetary Era Anthropology Thesis by Ana Flávia Nogueira Nascimento ( neip.info )
Michael Belden McAteer, ““Redefining the Ancient Tribal Ritual for the 21st Century:” Goa Gil and the Trance Dance Experience " (Bachelor of Arts, The Division of Philosophy, Religion, and Psychology, Reed College, 2002).
Udi Pladott , “Meaning, Motion and Gesture In Psychedelic Trance Music” (seminar “Music as Motion, Gesture and Action" Department of Musicology, Tel Aviv University The Yolanda and David Katz Faculty of the Arts),
Christopher B. Larkin, “Turn on, Tune in, and Trance out : The Exploration of Entheogens and the Emergence of a Global Techno-shamanic Ritual ” (Degree in Sociology/Anthropology, Lewis and Clark College, 2003),
Recent elucubrations about Psychedelic Trance Festivals as a Space for Cognitive Liberty
Outstanding Documentary about an African cult
Subtitled version of Jean Rouch's "Les Maîtres Fous" (1955). A documentary about an african sect based on ceremonies during which the members are possessed by the spirits of european colonial entities.
It is worth mentionning that this film was very badly recieved, originally, both by africans shocked by the "savagery" of this ritual, and by europeans shocked by how white men are caricatured in this ritual. Today, this film is one of the most important, and most praised, classics of visual anthropology.

Great videoclip about global uniformization operated by the states
Rammstein new videoclip called Amerika is just great. It contains many archetypal elements as well as nice allusions to the Moon landing controversy. Who said rammstein were stupid ? These guys are damn smart I would say.
