Circles (as you heard them

were busy inside of diamonds and there's no such hinge as minor rituals...vacant eyes gaze out of the tour bus window like finding out you don't know where you're going but you're gonna be there by the time and the sun knows your circles, the spine knows their mercy, refinement and the ugly opposite it takes to get it finally until the dancer's body is time itself-- Many factors point to the universality of the phenomenon. The early Christians might have referred to the concept as 'pneuma', and there are some recent parallels in contemporary Christian Charismatic 'Holy Ghost' phenomena. Religious studies also note parallels in Quakerism, Shakerism, Judaic Shuckling (torso-rocking prayer), the swaying zikr and whirling dervish of Islam, the quiverings of the Eastern Orthodox hesychast, the flowing movements of tai chi, the ecstatic shamanic dance, the ntum trance dance of the Bushman, Tibetan Buddhist tummo heat as practised by Milarepa, and the Indically-derived Andalusian flamenco.
