A Shaman Shares Knowledge

 Intent + Emotional Control + Knowledge = A Shaman

There are many things a Shaman comes to know over a lifetime of learning and practice. Many of these things are impossible to explain with language. The same can be said for certain tenets in Taoism, Buddhism, and other religious philosophies - for example, faith.

As a Shaman study, one gradually meets with knowledge of good and evil and can practice mastery in increments. For a Shaman to share all of their expertise with you at once would fill your heart with such dread it could cause illness of body and mind because you are unpracticed and unprotected. However, everything a Shaman knows can be obtained through good practice and constant learning. I am always happy to share what I know and walk with you on your journey. There is specific knowledge I would share with everyone as we all need to protect ourselves.

Everything has a spirit; every rock, tree, fish, animal, person, ocean, the planet has some kind of spirit. However, nature showing itself as a rock is not necessarily just a rock. Looks can be deceiving. But the quality or level of the energy is evidenced in its physical form. For example, the spirit of a stone has a slow and low vibrational rate. It takes a long time to act, but it has a long life span in this reality.

On the other hand, a butterfly has a higher and faster vibration but a shorter life span than a rock. It makes one wonder whether we are all given the same spiritual energy. Our life spans vary only according to our vibratory rate.

There are also various forms of non-visible spirits. More than you can imagine. Shamans spend lifetimes learning to "see" and perform multiple tasks using these spiritual forms. Some of these forms are neutral, and some are beneficent. Unfortunately, some of them are predatory. I want you to know about predators as they affect your health and happiness.

The only spiritual form that can gain spiritual energy or grace "gong" is the human being. It is the only thing we can absolutely take with us when we cross over into another life. This has been a fact for ancient religions and philosophies for thousands of years. You can find this in Taoism, Buddhism, and even Catholicism. It is only through experiencing life as a human being that Spiritual energy can be obtained, and one's spiritual self can evolve. So many non-human entities would do anything to have the life experience you have here on earth. All they need is for you to invite them to come into you. They can then share your experiences and eat your "chi" or energy and perhaps get some of your spiritual power or "gong" so they can incarnate here themselves.

These entities also have limited powers and abilities as you do, including the powers to attract and repel, the knowledge of precognition or foretelling the future, mind reading, and limited healing abilities. The predatory entities offer to barter their abilities to you, so you will invite them in. They also provide vainglories for wealth, business success, fame, all fleeting and limited to entice you to make a deal with them.

A man lost his wife of forty years to cancer and was very lonely. One day he sent up a wish for a new wife. He didn't care what he had to do or how she would come about. He would do anything to have a new wife. The predator entities heard the invitation, and a new wife did arrive. The Man had accepted the predator entities and felt as though he had a monkey on his back. He started going down to the local bar hoping to wash that feeling away. But the entities loved all this experience, and the Man became an alcoholic. Now, he didn't know why he drank or that he intended it for himself. But unless he met someone who could remove the entities, he was stuck.

Most diseases can be traced shamanically to spirit possession. Spirit possession is found in the book of knowledge of almost every religion in the world. For example, the Catholic Church and Lutheran Church offer Exorcisms. Soul retrieval is one Shamanic way to heal spirit possession. Soul Retrieval can be described as a Shaman going to these spirit entities and bartering, tricking, negotiating, or forcing these spirit entities to leave the person afflicted. It is perilous for the Shaman, as the entities do not wish to go and can attack the Shaman causing mental or physical harm and more. It takes a strong Shaman who can protect themself from damage and use their power to wield the shaman stick effectively.

But the knowledge is here for you to be aware of these entities.

Another knowledge is that there are 3 bodies to each person. You have your physical body, that self you have known and used all your life. ON the right of your physical body is your Master Self, your higher self. That part of you connected directly to the Universal Knowledge or God and whose little voice you can hear gives you the best advice when you listen. And you have your second self on the left side of your physical body. Your second self is like your physical body but not attached to your body. This is the body that Shamans use to travel to the Inner World. It just obeys what you put out for it and can hear and sense in other dimensions. It is your Shaman's working body. It is the part of you that manifests your intentions.

Your emotions come from your physical body; your intentions come from your Master Self body (hopefully), and your second self goes out and accomplishes those intentions for you. Unfortunately, spiritual predators can attach to any of these 3 bodies, so you must learn to guard each of them.

How Do You Protect Yourself?

One way to protect you in this reality is to not go anywhere near developing Shamanic skills. It does not actually save you, but at least it does not attract entities to you as powerfully as if you do the practice. Entities are most attracted to people with power. If you choose to practice, learn all you can about the Inner Worlds. Always travel with your spirit animal, who will guide you and defend you from entities. Your spirit animal walks with all 3 of your bodies. By being aware of its presence, you will sense well-being or fear even in your daily life, and you should respond appropriately. Contact me to learn more about working with your totem or spirit animal.

But the best protection whether you practice Shamanism or not is knowledge. Knowledge plus intent plus emotional control equals the power of a shaman. (For brevity, the reference to a shaman below is in the masculine form but implies no precedence of the female gender.)

A Shaman is a warrior, a hunter. He is on his highest alert, fully prepared, moving deliberately with his intention held firmly in place in the forefront of his mind. He is ready for anything, being emotionally centered, although feeling the excitement of the hunt and the anticipation of the successful outcome. No one could sneak up on a good hunter. It is he who is doing the stalking. The hunter knows his skills, has practiced a long time and knows where to look for the game he needs. A hunter has heightened his senses to smell the wind and see in low light. He knows a bear can attack him or a wolf at any time, so he does his very best every minute. To do less may mean his death.

He knows there is no one there to help him, and he knows that he can do it best anyway. He would not be a hunter if he wanted someone else to do it.

You, too, are a hunter here on this planet. You chose to come here to have this experience to gather the one thing you can take with you when you leave - spiritual energy. To be successful, you must develop your skills impeccably.

You have all the abilities you need to gather great spiritual power here. It is your task to learn about your skills and how to use them. Skills given to you by other than your own means are just borrowed from entities who take more of you than they give to you and are not worth the cost.

A Shaman walks this dimension in pure peace and joy, using his physical body to communicate and maintain a physical presence with emotional power using his Higher or Master Self as his sail and rudder. The constant small voice of the Master Self (intent) and his second body self used to work, create and destroy, attract, and repel whatever he intends with its knowledge of the Inner Worlds.

I invite you to walk the way with me through the course I offer on Shamanism found at http://www.shamanelder.com. Each of us must learn to use his 3 bodies, as they are the tools you brought here with you. I can light a torch along the path you have chosen and help protect you by giving you the knowledge and the skills to defend yourself.
