Description/excerpt (included in message):
[excerpt] There is a way in which the shaman transcends the idea of paradigm to wrestle with uncertainty and chaos, accepting it, and at the same time bringing mystery into useable form for healing and guidance. ... I have a hunch that the shamanic personality today is a creative response to the need for transition from a death-loving paradigm to one that affirms life.
