Something of a misnomer, but the so-called "Toltec" cosmovision provides a framework for looking at this situation we find ourselves in (existence) which makes many doors available for exploration. It can provide the framework for making sense of the shamanic traditions you find I believe anywhere in the world.

Shamanism...though independently developed by disparate peoples...has much in common no matter where you go...the same conclusions were reached, and the same techniques...work. Not that long ago it was the world spiritual path.

Now, more than ever, it is becoming relevant again as we find ourselves totally out of balance with Nature. We find ourselves living at the top of a life pyramid and thoughtlessly eroding away the very base on which we are perched.

Yes, Mark, you can learn from plants. Amazingly, many of the stories the plants will tell you are similar...to what other plants may tell you at another location...to what plants have been saying since antiquity. Amazing stories, of how life got here on Earth, and the right way to live.

Thank you so much for giving the general public a glimpse into this soulful way of living, and an understanding of the true sacramental work with power plants...why this important religious belief needs to be protected and expanded in the U.S.

Many are not enjoying the so-called freedom of religion, because our religion--shamanism--is de facto not protected. I cannot practice many aspects of it legally, though I have the pressing need.
