pain cripples enslaves
ancient shaman serves
gift gives pain remedies
speak with nature energies
reveal pain blockage points
seek ask esoteric vision cures
altered states of consciousness
achieved encounters interactions
sought answers received solutions
cracked life code universe mysteries
beyond thresholds of scientific societies
which rejects millennia mind journeys
ancient civilizations knew realities
still sealed to closed disbelief minds
science flat earth dead end concepts
science still locked in stillborn closets
manifest nature once read dreams signs
chapters of life read in earth life cycles
yes lucid spirit-world connections
runs more strongly in some families
capacity to see into other dimensions
realms walked in after lengthy years
extensive training in shaman universities
rite of passage not window brief limits
shamanism is circles learning lifetimes
not one life but all preceding lives
contributing to in healing giving gifts
shamanistic initiatory crisis
windows involving physical illness
keys sharp psychological crisis
wounded archetype healer heals
shaman she he undergoes sickness
to brink of death passage pushes
shaman becomes
sick to understand sickness
shaman overcomes
her his own sickness
experience holds cures
to heal future sufferings
spirit guide energizes
shaman enabling entries
to knowledge spirit realms
entry to spiritual dimensions
shaman for society heals
within spiritual dimensions
returning lost portions parts
of human soul from astral journeys
entrapment lost in puzzle voids
shaman cleanses excess
negative energies purifies
confusion soul pollutions
