Shamanism

I began this journey to intellectually know what and who I was. I found that the academic world does not have a fundamental grasp on the foundations of what it is that makes up a Shaman. The best I can say I found is I have a label for myself, I am a Shaman. I have a great deal of indigenous North American ancestors, for which I have access to their guidance for they speak through the blood, on a subconscious level, thus I come from a long line of “shamans”. The concept that we are all interconnected still with all the research eludes the scholars, they do not full grasp this concept with gnosis, (that is the experiential knowledge)they approach shamanism with the same analytical skepticism that they do for all their science as if the human condition is some lab experiment. The world of the shaman is very real, the spirit world the different dimension that one can travel they all exist if the individual would open their perception to receive some thing other than the ordinary mundane drudgery of their materialistic overly automated socially inept existence.

The society that has been built is there to make the individual feel alone and separated form one another, God, the animals, the plants and the very earth that gives them life, this is all separate for a person who lives in our society without even getting to the universe and the vast cosmos out side our atmosphere.

By the very nature of design this social structure is designed to keep you alone, sick and diseased. If you are not in need of out side influence to heal your mental and more importantly spiritual ills this society could not function at the economic and power hungry level it does. Shamans gave the people the connectivity they needed to feel strong, important and very much so as if they belong in the bigger picture of the cosmos thus ending the separation of the spirit form the creator.

This has been lost in time through our over eagerness to progress with technology, mechanism and materialism all in the name of making our lives easier but we have lost our connection to the earth and the creatures and the heart beat of all the universe that makes us who we are for the sake of all these convinces. Some of these things are nice but they keep families form spending the time together they would have otherwise been together collecting forage or make necessities for every day living these thing let them know they were important and needed by their other family members and even their tribe.

We go to our jobs in our cars by our selves to get on our computers by ourselves to leave to go to lunch by our selves to leave to go home in our car by our selves to check out at the grocery store in the self serve line by our selves, you get the picture, there is very little human contact with one another and rarely if ever does another person have physical contact with you that is not a family member. It is amazing to me that we have got this far with this kind of behavior without the majority of the population totally insane, oh ya that is right most of the people in America are heavily medicated on some kind of mood altering serotonin inhibitor substance like Prozac. We are in need of understanding exactly who we are and exactly how connected to each other we really are and that we matter to everything that exists on this earth and the cosmos at large before we self destruct.

The essential connection that brings all this together is the shaman for they have a real sense of all this and are able to lead others to this connection through various techniques and even entheogens if necessary to bring about the connective gnosis that is necessary to end the separation from all that is our creator. I know who I am, I am a shaman and I know that we are all related . I know I can not be studied like some lab rat, for you will not see the energy of the universe , the earth ,the people nor the creatures through a micro scope. I know that an atom has a nucleus and electron and in side each one of those is the same thing that they will see under that microscope, a whole lot of nothing. Man has not yet been able to measure the quantitativeness of the spirit that exists in all of creation. That can only be experienced.
