Shamanism and transcendence

Shamanism and transcendence

In general, transcendence means experience that goes beyond the normal and the ordinary. It can be assumed that experiences such as "near-death experiences" can be classified as examples of transcendence. In general, transcendence means that one has transcended the ordinary limits of physical reality, that is, one has become integrated into a spiritual state. For the shaman, this means the potential connection with a particular mind in nature, in universal energy fields, domains, and / or parallel universes.
Much has been written about the use of hallucinogens and shamanic travel. All shamans do not use drugs. They use, as I said, sound and hallucinogens. When I speak of shamanic transcendence, I mean a significant awareness that goes beyond what is normal for a human, especially a changed one.

For me, this shamanic transcendence really means a transcendence of oneself. This, in turn, means being part of what is greater than you. I'm not talking about developing a "complex of God." Essentially, this is about leaving the everyday banal world, the world of repetitive routine, the acceptance of things as they are. The researcher Pamela Reed proposed in 2003 that here the individual is "connected with dimensions that go beyond the normally recognizable world". At this crucial moment, the shaman connects with these other worlds.
These worlds, often called the higher, middle, and lower realms, do not agree with certain religious notions of heaven, purgatory, and hell. At this point, it is not important for the shaman, who is bigger than the self. The shaman's anxiety comes after the transition from ordinary to unusual time. Then the shaman, with his guide or spiritual assistant, follows the answers to his healing questions, questions that relate to the patient's questions.
In Dhammapada's Song XXV, we find this advice very important for transcending transcendence: "Empty your boat ... if empty, it will be easy."

Dr. Wilson is a shamanic healer, a master of the Reiki practitioner and a spiritual advisor. He is the author of over a dozen books, many of which deal with various aspects of shamanism, as well as hundreds of articles published on the Internet. He has his own talk show called The Chatter Box.

The truth about lies in politics

The truth about lies in politics Recently, I have heard someone say that once we believe in a belief or a philosophy, our objectivity decreases badly. We no longer try to discern whether something we read or hear is true and correct, we simply accept any information that corroborates our belief. This can be seen in the policy. Unfortunately, it seems a common practice for politicians and members of Congress to put themselves first, to play political parties, to accept money from lobbyists and big donors in exchange for their votes, while showing little concern for things that are good for our country and taxpayers. When these politicians are set up, try to answer difficult questions or get something wrong or illegal, which is rarely responsible. For too many politicians, the lie seems to be second nature. The main supporters of many politicians hasten to accept the political leader's assertions as the truth and go forward even when the claim is clearly false. Nowadays, it s...

New policies required for public discussion

New policies required for public discussion It does not matter if someone is a passionate supporter of President Trump or who can not agree with him on almost every problem or question, most would agree. We are currently experiencing very different moments in many ways. as just recently! The purpose of this article is not to support anyone, but to try to make America civil again so that Americans start talking to each other instead of meeting each other. We have had periods of considerable political discourse and disagreement, such as the civil rights parades of the 1950s and early 1960s, murders (especially of the 1960s), the anti-war movement of the 1960s, etc. ., presidential candidates, out of the United States, the political norm (as Goldwater and Wallace in the 1960s), the drama of the Nixon era, the Iranian Hostage crisis at the Carter era, the Russian antagonism in the Reagan era, the Clinton issues and the terror controversies of September 11 and the ugliness of racism, whic...

The media: Do traditional media use slander to control people?

The media: Do traditional media use slander to control people? Before the advent of alternative media, the mainstream media had almost all the control. This meant that it was normal for most people to believe just about anything this source had published. Nowadays, thanks to the alternative media, this source no longer has the same control as in the past. But, while their influence on people has diminished in recent years, it would be a mistake to believe that its source is in danger. Old habits die hard รข € People of all ages are attentive to the mainstream media, just as there are some who are not. What has definitely given life a lifeline is the ease with which a person can consume what they sell using modern technology. As long as someone has a type of device, he can download everything this source says, no matter where it is. It is not necessary for someone to watch television or listen to the radio because it would have been necessary in the past to collect informati...
