The Mayan Code (Shaman Positions)
    #7438533 - 09/21/07 10:07 PM (16 years, 4 months ago)

I'm in the middle of reading , "The Mayan Code" by Barbara Hand Clow. It's a really great book with lots of great explanations on the Mayan calender and explains the mathematics quite well. But, in it she mentions something about different positions and a certain drum beat can make you travel to different times?

"Goodman (Dr. Felicitas Goodman) discovered that some ancient figurines and rock paintings are "ritual instructions" for entering "the alternate reality," the term she uses for the other worlds. When a person assumes a specific posture combined with a rhythmic stimulation such as rattling or drumming, and goes into a trance, Goodman wrote, "the body temporarily undergoes dramatic nuerophysiological changes, and visionary experiences arise that are specific to the particular posture in question."

She goes on to say that certain posistions will take you back to thousands of years ago. But, only a few go back to the Paleolithic, such as the Venus of Glagenburg posture from 32,000 years ago

Has anybody ever experienced/heard of this? I know she's a practicing Shaman, and im assuming this is why she can do it, but i'm dont know much about shamanism.

Any specific altered consciousness states induced by specific 'postures' or rituals are entirely culturally specific and would only occur for a person from the culture who has grown up with that particular mythos, and knows (expects) that certain rituals cause certain experiences within an altered state of consciousness. A person from another culture following the same ritual will NOT have the same experience. They may have one that is equally awe inspiring but they will not experience the same symbolic content as the person who has been enculturated to have it. Sorry, this lady sounds like a wingnut culture vulture, imho. :shrug: An anglo-saxon American on mushrooms does not have the same experience as a Mazatec. Sorry to burst your bubble.
