trance
A trance is a ritual of casting off the vessel of reason to drift instantaneously into one’s inner illusions. Temporary discontent transmutes into a fleeting blessing, and the tingling pleasure deceives us into believing in an ephemeral truth. Once over, we are plunged back into the quagmire of reality, yet this fall evokes an insatiable craving for the next intoxication. It is a paradoxical festival celebrating both the self-destruction and rebirth of consciousness.
