Hmmmm....maybe. But I'd still say that the appreciation for trance has to come from somewhere, and that's most likely from experience. I think that the love that a lot of you feel towards trance is much more than just a personal preference, and the reasoning behind placing all the emotion and meaning that you into the listening of trance music must be more due to who you are than to the music itself.
You can attach meaning to anything you like, and I guess we're all united in that we've been able to assign our own personal meanings to trance (though trance - as a very uplifting form of music - is probably easier to assign meaning to than genres of music that are less melodic, which is why you'll probably find more people passionate about trance than about UK garage for instance).

The mystical, mythic, dark, dreamy atmosphere? The higher state of mind...? |
Well I think that the ideals of trance, or the meaning and ideas behind it have changed a bit since it was brought out of India. I mean there's still the whole "uplifting" vibe, which is an effect that was in there very intentionally from the beginning, but I think, if anything, trance has become more of a "tribal" form of music rather than the "spiritual/psychadelic" form of trance spear-headed in Goa. I remember reading somewhere about how tribes somewhere in the Amazon, used to (and presumably still do) use music (by beating their drums somewhere between 120 and 140 bpm) and drugs (made from poisonous leaves or plants or something I guess) to whip people into a frenzy and to dance like mad-men. There's something about that beat range though - apparently it inspires creative thought or something, which would explain why people who take e at clubs (and sometimes those who don't) claim that they can "see the music".
So you can see that things haven't really changed that much.
