Shamanism 101
How does perception relate to the attentions?
Perception is relative, just like the big relativity thingy says. The problem is we are locked, or most of us, are locked into a certain way of perceiving the world.
How do our personal predilections affect us?
First, we need to understand what our personal predilections are. Each of us is born with certain predilections. That simply means certain ways in which our energy is structured, which helps or hinders us in the ways we choose to live our lives.
What do shamans 'see' when they look at people?
I can give a description of the human onion. When, in the shamanic sense, you see people in their totality as energetic beings, the picture isn't as easy to grasp as one might think because other human beings are made up of the same sorts of energy that the shaman is.
So, I wanna be a shaman...
Anytime someone comes to me and says they want to be a shaman, I say, 'Ok, let me tell you what's going to happen.' And it's ugly. But if you're going to do it anyway ? if you come back and say, 'God, that really sucks but I don't know what else to do ? I have to do this!' Ok.
