You wanna be a Shaman?

what is a shaman?
a shame man?
Many academics go with the flow of definitions springing from fellow anthropologist Mircea's dry unverified interpretations and miss the mark entirely.
A huge market of new age "shamans" exists. this methinks is at best shamanizing and not the actual thing originally encountered by early anthropologist from our culture.With esotericsm and meditation and prayer often there is an immature tendency to want to instead da da da daaa save the world when faced with very humble beginning work and many develop their egos with shamanic personas then exploitation and marketing follow shortly. All religions may be ego trips.
Now everywhere on earth before modern culture changed it, people existed in ways resonant with survival that had developed, one could deduce, at least in some cases, from the beginning of cultural knowledge, unique to the whole character of the people as manifestations of that space. The unbroken esoteric(dealing with the invisible ) lineages that have survived among these original cultures may have among them a station that has the title shaman or its local variation.

This is most likely the most precious resource on earth and may be remnants from when conditions were present for contact with higher dimension and our culture destroys these ways of living in harmony with the space around us instead of being respectful of the preciousness of original culture and helping the people transit to our world while learning from their most honorable knowledge and wisdom bearers and teachers , gratefully. Of course the relatively short existence of our culture compared to the original ones coupled with the fact that every nation is obviously bankrupt may also interest one in cultures that have managed to live here from the beginning. This is one way of seeing what is going on here now but it to is of course b.s. too. Fully agree with all you see participate! It is the only way to know.
Shaman supposedly means knower.



Who or what is the ego, or ,what does meaning mean meanie?
