Quotes

  1. “We have been the benefactors of our cultural heritage and the victims of our cultural narrowness.”
  2. “Much of the mystery surrounding the phenomenon of shamanism is perhaps attributable to the fact that it emerged during a time of preliteracy. Thus little is known about its origins.”
  3. “Western theologians and philosophers spoke of the necessity of humankind to dominate and manipulate nature; this “modern” worldview supplanted the “premodern” worldview with the latter’s position that human beings were part of nature, and separated from it at their peril.”
  4. “A wealth of anecdotal and clinical material exist which supports the possibility of telepathic effects occurring in dreams.”
  5. “Shamans use drums such as these in ritual ceremonies to call in the spirits and to assist in journeying into the Upper World and the Lower World as well as to call upon such allies as ancestors and power animals for help.”
  6. “There are other epistemologies, “ways of knowing” relying on the body, on feelings, on intuition, and on transpersonal and anomalous experiences, that are capable of taking us to realms that mainstream science has yet to acknowledge, much less to appreciate.”
  7. “What philosophers refer to as the “modern” worldview is responsible for impressive advances in technology, industry, and scientific discovery. However, it has not prevented (and may even have been partially responsible for) unprecedented fragmentation, nihilism, and devastation.”
