Spotlight: The Spirit of Shamanism and Psychoactive Substances

POSTED December 5, 2018 IN
Spotlights

Graphic and composite by New Dimensions


Shamanism is one of the world’s most ancient and direct forms of religious experience and can be a viable technology for access to the intuitive wisdom within. Highlighted in this collection of programs specially selected from the New Dimensions archive, you’ll hear from wisdom teachers who point out that the spiritual dimension to reality is not inconsistent with the scientific view of reality. Also discussed are mystical experiences that delve into the use of psychoactive substances in both their original sacred contexts and in modern life as well as the power of practicing rituals to harness the sacred forces of the universe.
