What exactly is trance? And why does it appeal to some (or the esoteric few)? Is it the complete stabilization of emotional response, neither diffident nor bold, neither hot nor cold,neither perceptive nor ignorant? How is this state of "bliss" defined in terms of hormones and neurotransmitters? eg) when we are angry or agitated then this balance is disturbed which retroactively disturbs the balance even further. Similarly excessive shyness and aloofness are not sociable traits. In both these cases the energy balance is disturbed and there are kinetic vectors that drive an individual to anti-social behavior. Is there some nascent harmony latent in each individual and how can we invoke science to help us tap that?

According to me at a broader level religion is a sociological exercise where people with some common ground meet and feel the need to reflect. Can an edifice, however imposing, adequately represent a complex ideology like a faith? Can it encapsulate human emotions and provide a channel for connecting with the Unknown? Can't we worship in the open, like some of our pristine ancestors? Apart from providing a common space for assembly, is there any deeper import of this place of congregation?
