The Last Post
This is the last post on this blog. I have spent over 5 years looking into what has become a "trendy" spiritual path for the unenlightened and curious. Although this is the "last post", I will be updating and adding stuff from time to time. As I have said elsewhere - no urban Westerner is ever going to become a Shaman (unless you get as lucky as Carlos Castaneda). Despite many "experts" criticism of Castaneda, I cannot recommend his books enough - to me, they are essential reading. The past 5 years of exploration have not changed my view on that. I have found that certain people have lied about their qualifications and abilities regarding the Shamanic Path in order to relieve gullible folks of their hard earned cash. I know everybody has to earn a living in this crazy materialistic world we live in but I believe that REAL spiritual teachings should be given freely if the student is sincere - as with Castaneda and Don Juan Matus. In my opinion Core Shamanis...
This is great track I found on YouTube for meditation and ceremonial work. In my next post I will be discussing the importance of meditation in Shamanic work. To be a successful shamanic person you will need to, as Don Juan tell Carlos Castaneda, "stop the internal dialogue". Zen masters call this taming the monkey mind. Paul Francis calls it "hollowing out". The fact is, you have to leave the every day world of human behaviour behind if you are to experience a state of Non Ordinary Reality.
