People who claim that there is a unitary "shamanic state of consciousness" are, as you point out, very similar to the Advaita Vedanta-inspired perennialists — and that includes Ken Wilber — who claim that there is a unitary "mystical state of consciousness." Hmmm. There is a blog post in this....<BR/><BR/>I always appreciate your comments.Steve Beyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06176285779096780805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3544799987499995638.post-51214188006867293142009-02-13T00:18:00.000-08:002009-02-13T00:18:00.000-08:00Steve, how is this ideas about the effects of medi...Steve, how is this ideas about the effects of medicine different from the lsd inspired works by Huxley, say perennial philosophy?<BR/><BR/>seems to me they have many aspects in common but it seems there are disjoint elements too...<BR/><BR/>best!Name: Asierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01504914081313956935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3544799987499995638.post-7665329244165468272009-02-12T07:50:00.000-08:002009-02-12T07:50:00.000-08:00There is such a sociological entrained propaganda ...There is such a sociological entrained propaganda machine that is intertwined with any psycho-changing substance in the United States that it will be very difficult to make any profound impact in terms of shaman becoming a norm in the arena of medicine and healing. It really is quite sad in some aspects, the tunnel vision mentality... However, there are many ways to still amount some sort of transference without the use of mind altering substance. I personally used some of these substances in recreational and experimental terms as a teen. These experiences still play a role in shaping my thought frames, all be it only in recollection. Seems many people are seeking change, yet things have not yet blossomed in understanding the simplicity of the complexity, if you know what I mean. Thanks so much for your posts. I am enjoying them:)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
