Another factor in the ‘revival’ of shamanism, is that we ourselves as individuals can experience the one-ness of all things. Shamanism provides tools and techniques to help you become your own spiritual authority. By journeying to the other realities , extending the perception of perceived reality, individuals can start to see, feel , or sense the one-ness of all things. These new insights and understandings come from within you, and from the teachers and counsellors in these other realities. This is an experiential process, and this means that you know for yourself that these experiences are valid. This to me is the meaning of a spiritual democracy.
This expanded vision of life, can touch our heart, adding power to our walk in life, and we can move into a harmony and balance with nature, the Earth, and all living things. This not only changes our life perspective, but can also have a beneficial influence on all others, the community around us, which these days (whether we like it or not) is a global one.
The shamanic path is a way to transformation, a new awareness of the Great Mystery. Much of our universe which is hidden can be explored, a universe which is known mainly through myth and dream.
