That's a really good point I once accidentally wandered into something like this because I saw hordes of kids my age going into a convention center so I slipped in. It was absolutely insane and there were 1000s of teenagers, all speaking in tongues and falling on the floor rolling around. People walked around splashing water and a "the preacher" was in the boom of like a power company truck and he was flying over the crowd while the truck drove around and people threw money at it. There were several cars with hydraulics bouncing in the crowd as well. It was completely nuts, then later I talked to some of the kids that were there and they said that it was their first time speaking in tongues and they didn't really remember everything that was going on.

You should read the book called the corruption of reality by Schumacher.. the idea there is that human beings are evolved to enter a altered state of consciousness during ceremonies and rituals combined with action and music, usually drums.. that's why you hear reports of primitive tribes in the past entering a trance State and writhing on the floor.. Professor Schumacher theorized that humans are evolved to enter such a trance state in order to regularly suppress their fear of death..

Damn, that also resonates with me because I can feel that with raves and house music. Perhaps it's not that different than the church people if that's what they have been attuned to.

I seem to recall "Deep House Cures Depression" being a theme on some promotions. Maybe they were on to something.
