The beat used is the same as primitive tribal people to induce altered states of consiousness.
Sorry, but this is a strawman...and a weak one a that - can you be driven into an altered state of conciousness by a mere beat? There is no evidence that beat alone can force mental states. (Can certainly influence the experience, but not directly cause it.)

I think the state of the mind, heart and soul are much more likely to be the source of the problem than the circumstance.
