“Everything changes once we identify with being the witness to the story, instead of the actor in it.”

“Shamanism is a path of knowledge, not of faith, and that knowledge cannot come from me or anyone else in this reality. To acquire that knowledge, including the knowledge of the reality of the spirits, it is necessary to step through the shaman’s doorway and acquire empirical evidence.”

Terence McKenna

James Redfield
