		<description>&lt;strong&gt;@mylo : Thank you for the beautiful pictures mylo. I&#039;m sure other readers would be excited looking at those beautiful pictures.

@linda: Thanks Linda:)

@honest : Yes, I&#039;m saying it&#039;s the people&#039;s choice to get in trance or not. Most of this people who get in trance summon this souls inside their body, in the form of asking the priest or anyone else to cast the &lt;i&gt; manthrems&lt;/i&gt; . While some other would actually sit down and pray to get in trance. Either way, it is a method of summoning the spirits inside the body. 

@random : I&#039;m really sorry. But your words are constructed in a confusing manner that I&#039;m getting lost between facts and fiction there. Anyway, how much I know about trance is not the topic being widely debated over here. 

I do not believe in trance as being the way of approaching God as being practiced here in Malaysia. As simple as that, I&#039;ve explained this in detail in lots of articles. Maybe you can refer this below articles.

		<description>i f a question here...hw much do u knw bout the Trance...i mean ur opinion bout it...i did a research bout it...n i came across a book of HOFFMAN in 1998 n according 2 him s the anthropologists and ethnologists tell us, there are no traditional rituals or ceremonies that truly work and change our reality without the use of trance.n d book of wier says as being caused by cognitive loops where a cognitive object (thoughts, images, sounds, intentional actions) repeats long enough to result in various sets of disabled cognitive functions. Wier represents all trances (which include sleep and watching television) as a dissociated trance plane where at least some cognitive functions are disabled such as volition but not consciousness within the trance typically termed hypnosis.Our brain controls d beta, alpha n theta wave...as massive piercing occurs and cause the massive pain the amount of wave the brain need 2 decept is beyond the frequency.So this is the main cause a particular person losing d ability 2 remember on wat hppn AMNESIA.It is totally a guilt 2 admit maself tht i don trust in god.of coz i do.we al do.but its juz a curiosity bout life.medically i learn lot bout diz.so hw far is true bout this trance.GOD is sum1 2 guide u.Lemme tel u a story bout wat hppn in ma life...few months ago i knw sum1 who al of sudden says he can c god..he c light n hear d voice of god.he feel he hd been purified by d GOD n he shud b d follower.Wel s a doc of coz i do feel sumthing is wrg in his brain.so wat i did ws lots of scanning...n guess wat he ws having d brain tumour.a vy tiny 1.n been compressing d audio n optic nerve causing intra-sound n light.if it ws our indian community...dey might even build a temple 4 diz guy n call him GOD.wat wil hppn in d end...diz poor guy end up helpless...m nt insulting any ppl out der.GOD is Superior n trance is sumthing different.ders is no connection btw dem.hope ull leave ur opinion.thank you.</description>
