It's all about controlling the pulse and rhythm of the party and guides the level of consciousness and awareness from one reality to another. A DJ rides the energy between themselves and the participants and guides the journey like an expedition. Everyone becomes a sea of rhythm and that creates a phenomenal feeling of being one, which is the essence of our own being. It's about realizing and remembering that we are not separate. The hypnotizing effect of techno music coupled with the seamless transitions and thematic progressions as the night progresses can be quite intoxicating, resulting in what could be closely compared to a religious experience.
Ravers go to church just like anyone else.
They just go twelve hours earlier. But it's not a problem if the club is supervised by criminals. But it's possible to make a big open-air rave in afternoon. Nothing is more destructive of respect for the government and the law of the land than passing laws which cannot be enforced. You can find them in Wisconsin and South Carolina and places that we've never heard of.
