Shamanism
"A shaman uses a different brain to process what he sees, and because he uses the whole nervous system, he has a greater wealth of perceptual symbology…

A shaman sees the whole field of vision in exact details because the perception is not confined by the brain’s limited holographic symbology… It isn’t just a question of gaining a greater perception. It is what you do with that perception that counts.” — Talk of the Month #23, “The Way of the Shaman”

Mr. Gold warns students, in his shamanism talks, that shamanism is a very serious practice, a way of performing the Work immediately, right now. It requires discipline, strong commitment and willingness to give up all personal addictions and forms of imaginary helplessness. These talks provide an excellent introduction to Shamanism as a way of entering The Work.
