I was reading ‘old work’ about the reflecting charactre of rituals. Some forgotten material that gave me ‘new’ insights (from my own writings?!?).
I try to translate my Dutch thoughts to English. I explore the possibilty of a ritualising proces of reflecting. Stating that during a ritual a new context or reality is created in which people can reflect about themselfs or their social environment. Reflecting is then the potential to create an other context where someone can ask new questions about himself.
