Shamanism is spiritual.

Some people say that Shamanism is a religion.

Others claim that it is not.

People have differing views of what constitutes a religion.

Wikipedia defines religion thus. In the Etymology section of the Wikipedia entry the concept of binding is mentioned. Many religions bind people in a variety of ways.

Shamanism is about freedom – not bondage. Shamanism is Spirit.

Shamanism is not based on the dogmas, doctrines, formulas and religious books of mankind.

Perhaps you are one of those people who do not believe in spiritual things, spiritual phenomena?

You are entitled to your own opinion of course, however I suggest that you consider some key points:

• Police forces around the world have used the services of genuinely psychically gifted people to assist in solving cases. Police are known for their focus on, and liking for, facts. If you don’t believe me then I suggest you start researching the issue and you will find that what I am saying is in fact correct – you are someone who values truth and facts right? You want to be sure that your opinion that spiritual phenomena do not exist is correct, right?
• Military & civilian Intelligence officers and agencies from various countries (USSR and USA to name two) have researched and used spiritual/psychic type phenomena. Spies and intelligence officers are another group of people known for their strong interest in facts. Again, if you don’t believe me then I suggest you start doing some of your own research. Perhaps start with investigating ‘remote viewing’.
• Many learned, intelligent and educated individuals will testify to the existence of Spirit and related phenomena. Start looking into this and you will again find that I am correct.
• And here is the clincher – if you dare! If you genuinely seek out Spirit you will find out the reality of it. How can I say this? Because I know. I would not dare say it otherwise. When you come into contact with Spirit and become aware of its reality and power you will never be the same again.

Moving on then; you can find out more about Shamanism in general by visiting the Wikipedia entry here. I am not saying that everything there is necessarily correct, however you can gain a measure of understanding from a source which is perhaps not considered too ‘out there’. Wikipedia is a well known general purpose encyclopedia.

I will leave you with these things to ponder…

• Shamanism is Spirit
• Spirit is real – there is knowledge and wisdom in the realm of Spirit.
• Knowledge and wisdom have to do with thought.
• Thoughts are things. 
• Thoughts have power and life force.
• There are many things YOU need to hear from Spirit. Secrets even.

As this blog progresses I will discuss these issues in detail, and with logic.

Being spiritual does not mean one throws logic out the window. Logic is a wonderful tool IF used correctly.

I like logic. I like Spirit.

I will help you understand things and most importantly; will help you to come into contact with Spirit; or if you already are on the spiritual path, will help you experience it more deeply.

Once YOU have experienced Spirit yourself you will never forget it, nor will you ever doubt it again; and no one will be able to take it away from you.
