Shamanic consciousness is soul consciousness.
Master shamans don’t do psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy;
they do soul retrieval and character building.
o
Mind and body are contained within soul,
therefore physical and psychological healing are natural side-effects;
but the focus is spiritual.
o
The sacramental use of plant medicines is a spiritual practice, not a therapy.
It is about creating great souls,
not psychologically well-adjusted egos.
o
Great souls are beyond self-concern,
personal needs,
personal problems.
o
They are not fragile; they are antifragile.
And this is not “spiritual bypassing” –
it’s spiritual training.
o
The Master leads by emptying people’s minds
and strengthening their cores.
