Tömegkelesztés

Tömegkelesztés, a Hungarian term, translates to "mass awakening" or "mass revival" and refers to a phenomenon of widespread spiritual or religious fervor within a population. This can manifest as a sudden and significant increase in religious belief, participation in religious activities, and a general shift in societal values towards a more spiritual or religious outlook. These movements are often characterized by a collective sense of seeking meaning and purpose, which can be triggered by various social, political, or personal factors.

Historically, such periods of mass awakening have been observed across different cultures and throughout different eras. They can be spontaneous or sometimes influenced by charismatic leaders or significant events. The impact of tömegkelesztés can be profound, leading to the establishment of new religious orders, social reforms, and a reorientation of cultural norms. While the term is rooted in religious contexts, similar phenomena of collective shifts in consciousness or belief systems can be observed in other spheres, such as political or social movements, where a large group of people simultaneously adopt new ideas or ideologies. The intensity and duration of tömegkelesztés vary greatly, and their long-term effects on society are a subject of ongoing study and interpretation.
