I said it before and I will say it again; I am never ceased to be amazed at the power that lies and our minds. Also, how we are connected, whether we like to believe it or not to the universe. This I think ties in with the reading, that our culture and individual experiences create direct links with the universe, its inhabitants, and spirits. We each travel on the path of knowledge in a search for our link to spirituality. That link can lead us to altered states making an ordinary life extraordinary! Our minds, although we don’t think about it are built to respond to the energies emitted by music, dance, painting, etc...
Maybe I shouldn’t admit this, but when I read the texts and the idea of spirits I tend to not think of Christianity in the mix. I suppose that it could be a result of me viewing that “spirits” are bad yet, I know they are not… The chapter on “What is a Spirit” was super valuable in my learning process.
The story relayed in Pearce regarding the tooth extraction is unbelievable! I can relate ever so slightly to this… I have three cavities and all three have been drilled and filled without the aid of Novocain… I do what I maybe be referred to as “mini-trance” focusing on a point on the wall and thinking about nothing, a best I can. Believe me I am not saying this relates to having oral surgery, but it certainly falls in on a similar path.
