Lapdog Posted March 8, 2006 Author Share Posted March 8, 2006 Very interesting, I thought. To me it is a good illustration of how the age-old ideas/belief systems can have much more substance when we avoid a religion like Christianity, which creates its own theologies out of political and personal forces and bends ancient world views to suit it, rather than the other way around. I do believe that everything can be explained by science, but just as energy can create matter, there is far more to the world even in general scientific knowledge than our classical view dictates.

pandora Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 Wow.... facsinating... how DID the shaman know that he was looking at a little girl and he was to pull her out? Did he talk about what he was experiencing without knowing it? So cool... none of my experiences have been that intense. I am going to Peru.
