"I believe that the best map we have of consciousness is the shamanic map. According to this viewpoint, the world
has a "center," and when you go to the center-which is inside yourself-there is a vertical axis that allows you to
travel up or down. There are celestial worlds, there are infernal worlds, there are paradisiacal worlds. These
are the worlds that open up to us on our shamanic journeys, and I feel we have an obligation to explore these
domains and pass on that information to others interested in mapping the psyche. At this time in our history, it's
perhaps the most awe-inspiring journey anyone could hope to make."
This section contains information and links about shamanism in a few of its many forms. If you know of something that should be here and isn't then please let me know, and I will try and add it as soon as I can.
