About Shamanism XVII

Since I had no comment on my last post I can keep thoughts here. I chose this topic since the term called Shamanism which is all I am going to post about for awhile. This is the same as what I refer to God-powers. I have stated we are all born with them however most children are either frighten of them, the power never being used goes into submission or when asked about them to their parents who have rejected their powers  yet now seeing a pattern far to late to help their own children since pride over takes them and the whole cycle starts or continues depending on the lifeline of the family in denial.
Shaman (pronounced SHAH-maan) is a word from the language of the Tungus people
of Siberia. A Shaman is a man or woman who enters and altered state of
consciousness at will. The Shaman does this to contact and utilize an ordinarily
hidden reality to acquire knowledge, power, and to help others. The Shaman
usually has at least one or more spirits in his or her personal service.

The trance or "ecstatic" state of consciousness the Shaman enteres can be termed
as the Samanistic State of Consciousness (SSC). The shaman does not enter this
state for play, but only for serious purposes. The Shaman must also know the
basic methods of accomplishing the work in the SSC before entering such a state.
For example, if the Shaman wishes to recover a patient's guardian animal, he
must know the techniques for reaching the Lowerworld, entering it, finding the
spirit animal and bringing it back safely. Subsequently, he must know what
instructions to give the patient in the ordinary State of Consciousness (OSC).

The Shaman is an accomplished seer who works in the dark, or at least with the
eyes covered in order to see clearly. For this reason, the Shaman usually
engages in such practices at night. Some kind of Shamanistic seeing can be done
with the eyes open, but that kind of perception is usually less profound. In
darkness, the distractions of ordinary reality are less, making it possible for
the Shaman to concentrate on aspects of non-ordinary reality essential for the
Shaman's work. The SSC must also be entered with the assistance of drumming,
singing, dancing and the use of rattles.

Shamanistic Enlightenment is the literal ability to lighten the darkness and see
what others cannot perceive. hmmmmmmmm Sound like God-Powers to me and due to free choice you get to choose The Light or The Dark.

*this information was taken directly from the Coven LadyofEarth with  the introduction of my work using Shamanism as compared to God-Powers. If the ancient information was keep up and translated immediately I am sure we would have an exact linguistic and anthropological interpretation instead of mixed matched translation which one only agrees to get there paper published so they can earn the doctrine.
