There is an intermediate area of experiencing, to which inner reality and external life both contribute. Space in-between is a peculiar phenomenon because we live in it without noticing it. It cannot be described, because the world present in it is in a blurred, half-formed stage, where inside and outside, the personal and collective cannot be distinguished from each other. This is a transitional space of experience where inner reality and outer life are both formative powers. Religion (like arts, and culture in general) belongs to this intermediate space. In this study we investigate from an anthropological and psychological point of view how rites help the believer to enter this intermediate space of religion.
