whieber discovered 4 months ago- Very Interesting to say the least

- From the page: "We have chanted, drummed, prayed, flagellated, spun, smoked, tripped, fasted, meditated, and pounded ourselves throughout our known existence, at all places, for just one shred of light to make its way from that ethereal paradise into the mundanity of our everyday lives. We have always sought altered states of consciousness, self-induced or not, drug-inspired or not, in order to get to that place where we might encounter the truly sacred, where we might encounter what the Hebrews call kadosh: the awful otherness of God."

"In his Magick in Theory and Practice, Crowley wrote that The whole secret may be summarised in these four words: Enflame thyself in praying. The mind must be exalted until it loses consciousness of self. The Magician must be carried blindly by a force which, though in him and of him, is by no means that which he in his normal state of consciousness calls I. Just as the poet, the lover, the artist, is carried out of himself in a creative frenzy, so must it be for the magician ."

- "The main defining characteristic of a shaman is that he or she is someone who enters an altered state of consciousness... usually induced by monotonous drumming or other percussion sound, in order to make journeys for a variety of purposes in what are technically called the Lower and Upper Worlds... to interact consciously with certain guardian powers or spirits there."
