 Your reaction to a Shaman in real life+Shamanic Questions 
#7083301 - 06/23/07 11:29 AM (15 years, 9 months ago) |

This question is directed towards the western lifestyle.
Would you know a Shaman if you met one? Would learning from him be more like humouring him? Is it possible for a Shaman to have a place in western society, and furthormore can (s)he exist in America, lets say. Should a Shaman be defined obejctibley or subjectively?
In a very true way, there is a Shaman in all of us; obviosuly:-) We can all learn from each other and at times blow each others reality apart. But is this still a very real profession, just as a lawyer;-)
Or the the fact that what a Shaman is, is in a way is continually redefined part of what being a Shaman is all about?
Is anyone in this list a Shaman: Maria Sabina, don Juan, Baron Munchausen, timothy leary, bill hicks, ghandhi, yourself...why and why not?
If I met a so called Shaman, I wouldn't humour him, nor question him , as long as he had confidence.
I have Powerful names!

I'd say Maria Sabina is the only real 'shaman' on that list. Bill Hicks was a prophet tho!

so what does a Shaman do though? Would I be an ASSHOLE to say with complete confidence I am a Shaman?
Is it a personal definition, or a societal one? Are there any westerners famous or local that would qualify? Shamans do not HAVE to use "drugs" as par of their curriculum.

Would you know a Shaman if you met one? only if they want you to.
Would learning from him be more like humouring him? depends on what your learning.
Is it possible for a Shaman to have a place in western society, and furthormore can (s)he exist in America, lets say. Should a Shaman be defined obejctibley or subjectively? Well reguardless of what culture its a type of person a persona. when born into western society the usually get so distorted by this society the kill themslesves or lose who they are and dont come around til alot later in life.
In a very true way, there is a Shaman in all of us; obviosuly:-) We can all learn from each other and at times blow each others reality apart. But is this still a very real profession, just as a lawyer;-)

well in a sense its a profession but not really as aristotle said a true job doesnt get paided. when your one you do it cause you have to do it and its your life. everyone one lives in the shamans world cause its not really the shamans world they are just the gardener tending it, people often over look this

Said freedom and knowledge:
The question will be: Who is more powerful The shaman or the Dr?
I know the word Dr. and the games of medicine and money. Shaman rimes with scam, sham, and other unspeakable words coming out of the shadow of humanity (like resign and thieves). Can all the Dr. papers clean-up the deed of the scam or the shame of Dignity? I ask everyone to call me Dr. just because I’m not. Thousands have given me the title and so they humour me. I have many Dr. titles given by the many that said so, knowing I’m not. Let the scum-scaming sum-up their money. I take none. However, the knowledge said that the scum-scaming shaman with the paper/money sells humanity to a soul tan. The system will take care of that. Shaman rimes with vomit and drugs. The shaman rimes and the Dr. does.
--------------------
Wave.
'And for this reason repentance (metanoia) is an elevating means. For he who feels impatience with the circunstances in which he finds himself, devises means of escape.
Now the chief thing in purification is the will. For then both deeds and words lend a helping hand. But, when the will is absent, the whole purificatory discipline of initiation is...'

the DR.'s power lies in meaningless death and suffer for capital gain and most are born to do that task but do it cause they can in this society. a shaman is forced into it and its the only choice they have, no matter how many people belive,trust,or anything them they are what they are. a Dr. on the other hand is what they are but its not always a medicine man.
tho nowadays due to all the counter culture theres tons of fake medicine men too that work in the same way western doctors do.
the true way to tell the differance is a true healer cares about the mind, body and soul and the only reason the mind and body is a means to get to the soul.
the fake pretend to care and generally only treats one of the 3 or claims to have treated

My understanding is that a shaman is anyone who willfully enters altered states of conciousness for a specific spiritual or healing purpose.
By this definition shamans exist in all cultures, including the western world.

Usually a shaman can be picked out from a crowd because they have bad taste
in clothes and look old for their age due to alcohol, cigarette and other
substance abuse. They usually talk idly and neurotically about basic things
that any semi-intelligent person can figure out, but have some distance
to this that any semi-intelligent person does not have. By email you can
recognize them through the spam mail they send you about drum courses that
leave people unsatisfied and just prey on the weak that haven't experienced
anything shamanic on their own such as psychedelics, meditative states or
any other sort of insight where the ego is broken down. Most of this money
goes to alcohol, cigarettes and trips to exotic places where they obtain
herbs for their drum courses. So the problem here is that it because
a profession, a source of income.
Of course, there are some shamans than aren't hacks and could impress
even the picky through their hypnotic deeds. Thankfully I've also met one of these.

Why should an authentic shaman care a fig about western society? A true shaman would stick to his roots, the place with which he has a special bond.
I would always be wary of a shaman who sells the deepest secrets of his calling.

so what about the ones that have great taste in clothes just people marvel at it and go wow but would never wear anything like that themselves. tho they use alcohol and tabbacco, once they shave and take a shower look a bit young for their age, but while in disguise look older. people instantly find them way older then they are thru convo. and in convo wether they do alot or little the person is hypnotized, but then for the ritualts he/she does he takes them to a whole nother level of understanding, ussually one those people couldnt even perceive and then understand why they live their lives and why the shaman must live their life the way they do and now just have an appecaition and higher connection.
they also spend most thier money on healing people. they also could be standing right next to you and be able to feel any illness such as if you hurt your like they could just poke you in that spot cause they know with out you telling them.

orginally the tribal elder-the one that tells the stories of the tribe and rememebers back in the day the day of creation due to him being reborn and just having a body some infact are so old they were before creation and when destruction came then recreation they kinda watched it all.
now differnt tribes elders werent as badass, some used plants some healed, some were tyrants. and so forth
differnt culutres have different ways of life and interprating their reality thus differnt traditions.
the best tho are the ones that found the imomrtal medicine and thats how they could be beyond creation and desturction and so damn zeta
or more recently the healer or medicine man

What about Asian Shamanism? Did that exist in a form? How does it differ?
I'm thinking what a Shaman is is more subjective than objective.

maybe we all have an inner-shaman that just needs one to find. whether one cares about their self more than the outer world is the main question.
people bring so much prestige to the title of "shaman"... You could call yourself Jesus, moses, shiva, vishna, buddha.. whatever.. they, to me, seem like people that have shamanistic whatever. just different styles
but fuck I don't know, just sounds good.

This is a very complex topic. I'm also Captain Obvious.
I think though, more often than not, what Shaman is to someone, is very subjective...My shaman might be your preacher.

I think I met a guy last night that met most of my criteria for being a shaman. I know a bit about the subject, and he fell right in line with my view of the true warrior\shaman. He did not call himself one or attempt to sell himself in any way, he was just hanging out passing the time of day, but it was very obvious that this guy was different from a lot of the weirdos I have met...as a matter of fact he wasn't really a flake or weirdo at all.
My reaction was to engage him in a conversation.

"A warrior is a hunter. He calculates everything. That's control. Once his calculations are over, he acts. He lets go. That's abandon. A warrior is not a leaf at the mercy of the wind. No one can push him; no one can make him do things against himself or against his better judgment. A warrior is tuned to survive, and he survives in the best of all possible fashions." ― Carlos Castaneda

So what happened?
--------------------
All this time I've loved you
And never known your face
All this time I've missed you
And searched this human race
Here is true peace
Here my heart knows calm
Safe in your soul
Bathed in your sighs

The shaman turned Hue into a crow, and so he is currently "hunt-and-pecking" his posts.

I asked about his views on life and his spiritual practice. He said that if you are ready to die you can do anything you want. I said "Anything you want literally?" He said "Yeah...anything you want." This was one of the major things I learned. I am told by his peers that he lives his word.

Watch it, Hue, "typing one-handed" usually has another implication.

"He" is lazy?  Are you referring to yourself in the third person now? Hmmm...perhaps a side-effect of squeezing the shaman?

Because Huehuecoyotl is someone else, so I speak of him in the third person sometimes. For your info you meet many of those same criteria as well....but he keeps that to himself because girls are not supposed to be as smart as Huehuecoyotl, but sometimes I know better...

No, thanks. "Ess" is a diminutive, which indicates a lesser, smaller version of the original. I prefer Shawoman or Warrior Queen.

Getting a compliment from Huehuecoyotl is rare, but getting him to concede further is difficult.

Shaman is just a general term for a wide class of spiritual practitioners.

Terence Mckenna had a lot to say about Shamanism. His audio/video stuff is worth a gander if you haven't entertained the idea as of yet.

I have think to be a Shaman, you have to have IT. IT isn't an idea, or a place, or a time. It's IT and if you don't have IT you can't do IT. Calling IT IT merely takes IT away from what IT is. Pyschedelics makes you feel IT easier. Do you have IT?
I think IT makes enough sense...:-)

It makes sense. Apparent reality can argue duality, and it seems as you suggest, words cannot describe ultimate reality.
