這篇文章以通靈現象為主軸，透過臺灣漢人通靈者對於神佛（尤其是母神）的救度體驗、家族象徵（女性和祖源的關係）以及對於「靈界」的普化儀式現象，來探討通靈現象如何透過階級、族群、性別、世代的文化象徵，展現出宗教對於宗教人的既壓迫又解放的生命體驗。

This article interprets the phenomena of religious ecstasy of the Han ethnic group in modern Taiwanese society in the following points: First, how the cosmogonies of divinities (Gods, immortals and Buddhas), in particular the myth of salvation of the Goddess, reveal themselves to the mediums. Second, how the patriarchal symbolisms influence the destiny of the descendants, especially between ancestral souls and female family members. Third, how the spiritual beings find their salvation through the mediums' universal salvation ritual. I would like to demonstrate how homo religiosus is both oppressed by and liberated from the phenomena of religious ecstasy in the perspectives of class, ethnicity gender, and generations.
