Communion Flood Spirit Embodiment

Definition

Cross-cultural communion-flood phenotype: spirit-possession with culturally-sanctioned numinous embodiment. Distinct from Western 'unitive mystical experience' (Unitive Dissolution) by embodied/transactional/spirit-with-name phenomenology; from bhakti (Beloved Rapture) by ritual-trance frame and self-displacement; from mania (Grandiose Call) by intact cultural framing, ritual time-boundedness, and post-state acceptance by community as legitimate spiritual function. Cross-cultural possession-typology research is the empirical anchor; vodou and zar ethnographies provide detail; analogous patterns documented in candomblé, Sri Lankan tovil, Tibetan oracle-states, Korean shamanic kut.
