"The goddess will not ask you for your passport. If you are present, she will find you".
A Spanish woman recently went viral when she was "possessed by Kali" at a traditional Hindu festival in southern India. The content-creator has a supranaturalist (or supranaturalist-sounding) explanation for the incident.
It struck me that Hindu temples - and many other religious buildings - might be built in such a way that alternate states of consciousness may be triggered naturally. Which of course doesn´t disprove that they may also be "spiritual".
Of course, a more prosaic explanation is that the Spanish woman wanted to "go native". I mean, she was wearing a red sari, had adopted a part-Indian name, and was interested in Hindu spirituality. A skeptical British reporter getting possessed by Ma Kali might have been more interesting...
That thing about the temples being built to induce super natural states... How does it work?
ReplyDeleteNo idea, I´m just speculating. Here is some fringe stuff on a similar topic:

It struck me that cemeteries often have a "micro-climate" different from the surroundings, due to how they plant the trees, the walled enclosures, etc. So why not temples? If you build them in a certain way in a certain climate, maybe they can induce alternate states of consciousness? Or do so in combination with other things, such as dancing, chanting, etc.
