Shaman: Agent for Evolution

The dimension where ideas, imagination, and dreams exist, in shaman terms is known as the non-ordinary reality. This "alternate reality" is available to all of us.

This comes from an earlier article but I repeat it because it perfectly expresses my own understanding.
I quote Terrence McKenna-

"...in the context of ninety percent of human culture, the shaman has been the agent of evolution, because the shaman learns the techniques to go between ordinary reality and the domain of the ideas, this higher dimensional continuum that is somehow parallel to us, available to us, and yet ordinarily occluded by cultural convention out of fear of the mystery..."


The thing I aspire to most is to open people's eyes to this. The "mystery" isn't only to be learned in "Mystery Schools" but is paradoxically both within all of us and at the same time we are in it. There's a leaping, swirling energy all around us and it's available to the sensitive/open people - those who cultural convention considers to be "Mystics" and "Shamans."

We all regularly visit the dimension where ideas come from, therefore I say the non-ordinary reality is available to all of us.

Another brilliant explanation of how both quantum physics and consciousness point to spirituality. I particularly like his admonition to "Be nice," at the end of this clip.

Quantum Theory & a Map of Consciousness

If you've ever wanted to sort-out the link between quantum physics and consciousness, listen to this brilliant explanation. There are interesting implications for energy healing, shamanism and magick.
