Abstract

This chapter deals with the first part of the investigation in regards to the experience of self in the Goa Trance dance-floor. The author analyzes the paradox of self in a phenomenological scope without going to deep into philosophic concepts but deep enough to give a sufficient basis to understand the arguments of the next chapter with same title and different subtitle. After dealing with the self, a notion of what is that we call real is then put forward within a framework from the Portuguese poet Teixeira de Pascoaes. This will also be in the context of an analyses of the Pythagorean tetractys in order to understand what can be said that is or is not existence in a conceptual stand point. This will set forward the necessary basis for understanding what is happening with the pure trancer in the Goa Trance dance-floor.
