But there are consequences. I heard a great radio piece with Graham Hancock, where he briefly touches on the existence and impact of spirit companions--how they can shatter marriages and relationships for shamans. <BR/><BR/>The loneliness that comes with the gift of perception reminds me that gifts and curses are interchangeable. Unless the mindset shifts to one of release/embrace/letting go, the benefits will remain buried under the sand of frustration--all generated from chafing under the pressure of the critical mind. <BR/><BR/>To me, part of the freedom of the shamanic experience is applied through an almost innocent curiosity and flexibility about what can happen next. Spirit's calling the shots.<BR/><BR/>I find I can apply those traits to my creative exploits easily--and with dynamic effects sometimes. With life, it's not so easy.Night Singshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02103447086532715718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1039590131996232909.post-66714354565788582002008-03-06T21:20:00.000-05:002008-03-06T21:20:00.000-05:00Yes, good site to check out.Thanks Robin!Yes, good site to check out.<BR/>Thanks Robin!ancientwindrunnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14620923118715897106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1039590131996232909.post-45595210534438686562008-03-05T09:13:00.000-05:002008-03-05T09:13:00.000-05:00This is by Niteshad, at www.shamanscave.com.

Spending time with making "sense" of this process in my conditioned mind and also "knowing" this <BR/>emerging spiritual practice is connected deeply into infinite dimensions, has been interesting, wonderful, unpleasant, scary, crazy, amazing and more.<BR/>Perhaps called before birth and nudged towards and into this path, is Spirit's Way for me. Each path is differnet and quite unique. My flame has grown and continues to. It is being fed by an array of timbers, that contine to fuel my pot, which I - stir, test ingredients and sense into for answers and questions.<BR/><BR/>Shungo - AWRancientwindrunnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14620923118715897106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1039590131996232909.post-79045481802870398672008-03-04T21:25:00.000-05:002008-03-04T21:25:00.000-05:00That was a wonderful and full exposition. Part of...That was a wonderful and full exposition. Part of the work that Ihave done is a journey up to the moment of my death, and then immediately after. I was a wind in the Universe, dispersed beyond identity, and truly enjoyed my life there, seeing the wonders of worlds beyond mine, and then, unaccountably, and seemingly beyond my volition, I was gathered up again to be born into a situation that fit my energies (matching virbrational levels?) to have a new birth with new tasks, and my fulfilling my learning experiences would determine the vibrational level I went out with next time, and came in with the time after that. Given what I experienced, death doesn't scare me, it's all the things that go bump in the night that get to me. My guides have been good and protective, but I know in my bones that when I do this work, I'll meet up with an entity that may have more than death in its quiver. I'd rather not have my brain fried, or an entity parasite. I know about "cling-ons" and what they can do, and ther's more than I have imagined. I can only hope that through my work this year, atht I will have the wisdom and discretion to do my work with grace and courage.
