Gilbert Nolander Posted April 1, 2003 I don't know if it is typical to post a sort of introduction or not, but here goes. I am new to this forum and I would just like to say hi. I couldn't really find any other active forum's on Shamanism, besides yahoo groups, which is a big pain in the butt...So I figured I would come here and hang out. Well, I guess if you want to learn more about me, feel free to take a look at my webpage by clicking on my sig. and I will ahhh. probably be lurking around for quite a bit. I am pretty much undecided on any sort of religion, but am really into Native American beliefs, though I just recently found out that almost every modern Native American author is a fraud....see Red Road Collective for more info on this. Anyway, this has been rather shocking to my system, and I am sort of unsure what is real or not. I don't really know what I think about anything, and I am pretty much open to anything that feels true to me. Anyway, :cool: [ 01.

Plenty deep conversations, that should be helpfull for your shamanism quest. -------------------------------------------------- *beware of the Chemical Shaman though , you'll see what I mean when he swings by.

shroomy Posted April 2, 2003 Velcome, glad to see you crossed the threshold of your own free will, "tequila sunrise dl hold the brolly please". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gilbert Nolander Posted April 2, 2003 shroomy - I don't know if I would say own free will, but thanks. I sort of have had some strange things happen to me, and well.. I tried to find out what was going on and I found either shamanism, or psychotic behaviour... I sometimes feel that if I don't try and learn as much as possible about what is going on that I will die. This may sound strange, but I have had several near death experiences, going weeks without sleep or food, and the like... Anyway, I don't really like to even talk about this stuff, I just felt this impulse to put this in, maybe others here have felt similarly or something. :cheers: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skunkjar Posted April 10, 2003 I'm new here too, but I think you should think twice about making such a broad statement, as "Every modern native American author is a fraud" I need way more than one source of information to prove something like that. Besides it is a REAL broad generalization, like saying everyone in Australia is named Bruce, or that everyone in New York lives in “The City” and sounds like Tony Soprano. If you believed everything that you read, it would be a traumatically confusing world, wouldn’t it? [ 09.

Gilbert Nolander Posted April 12, 2003 Yea, Skunk your right. It's just that I have read several books that is listed there, and I sort of thought they were BS, though they were real good. I have e-mailed the lady who posted that list, and she seems pretty smart, and well in touch with some native elders, and she was basically saying that Native Elders do not have time to write books, and besides that, their processes and methods are kept secret unless they feel that someone is generally going to help other people and also have the ability to bring some sort of respect to their views.

Gilbert Nolander Posted April 12, 2003 I did a little reading on heimia, and it sounds pretty interesting. I tend to stay away from hallucinogens, I have had some strange experiences with them. The stuff I read said it has minor hallucinogenic properties? Perhaps I should stay away from this? I guess if it is similiar to cannabis, but a bit more intestse, that's no problem, but if its anything like shrooms or anything, there's no way. [ 12.
