The fear of death is born from a defect of love. Love leads you to converse with rain, rivers and trees, with the cliffs and the birds, it leads you to a unitary feeling, to one universal communion capable, in its turn, of conceiving the will to vanish completely, to give you, and to enjoy impermanence, without which giving oneself at any moment would not be possible.

it's dark outside and it's early in the morning but I am as well excited to be here with you guys so yeah looking forward to this discussion do you want to introduce your son as well in my job because you know the Russian perfectly actually he got his degree in Russian from Cambridge University and now he's studying anthropology all always at Cambridge and he asked me a lot because I work usually with Siberian shamans I go to Siberia two times per year and he had me to understand this incredible women and which leaving the tabs and make incredible amazing things now they founded few months ago we founded a shaman Union in order to have to see the nature you know that in Siberia before estar burning and this is a really ecological disaster for a planet and this is why shamans have decided to found with shaman union and I am a part of it me and my son we are part of it and we want to really have half nature's and from from a shaman perspective the best thing to do to help nature is help human beings to change her thinking method which is not just one set but the thinking method and try to think in a different way try to see that the multitude is in the 1 and the 1 is in the multitude try to see that the things events happen not because they have a causes but because they have a and they have goals and you see my great friend Casimir with the siberian powerful shaman always says but we can't we can't have nature and our own bodies with the same tools with with which with water sorry we destroyed them we destroyed the planet we destroyed our body and so we have to the tools and the tool of the tools is our thinking method so we are here to give an out a little hard to listen in our newest a mission yeah yeah and so just changing the consciousness of the planet essentially right yeah okay so for those people who are here with this and we're talking about shamans and shamanism for people who don't know what that is can you unpack that a little bit what is a shaman shaman means of the one who knows and shaman and the people very close to nature they are Animists and they see God in nature when they say when they pray God they pray the rain they pray the woods they pray the water they see God everywhere and they they are able to see simultaneously the two aspect of reality but visible and the invisible the main job of a shaman is the shaman journey which is a journey across the great treasure the three treasure is the threshold between visible and invisible life and death and unconscious and being a psychology as well I really appreciate this ability to cross the great treasure and I developed myself visibility because I think it is the most important psychological act that a therapist can do you see crossing the great treasure and take someone with you is a great therapeutical action don't you agree Michael engine yeah because basically indeed in the Magnificat translated in western languages social purpose of a shaman at the end is that of healing people that's the main function we think within a community and the shaman does this by performing what my mom called the shamanic journey because I mean the shaman is basically what the ancients the ancient Greeks called a cycle for a ferryman between what could be called the world of the living or the world over there a world of the spirits and the world of of us humans so in a certain sense the shaman is in is a bridge between different worlds not in most a Siberian shamanic traditions they they believe there are three levels of the world there is another level of spirits there is the middle earth you could say where we which we have it and there is an underworld where what were demons you could say little yes yes and you see in one of these three world every everyone Azzam a bride or groom you see this is why the center of shamanic thought is a the mystical desktop the mystical marriage and I wrote a book about that about the mystical marriage which is entitled the maha-mantra the shamanic yoga of non-duality and this book was published in English by inner traditions so it's available on Amazon and even in the book shops in the US and in this book I explained how to enter the mystical marriage which is a very powerful and happy condition to be through the ancient some awesome eudaimonia the word eudaimonia in greek means being in companion of a good diamond with a good diamond with a good guide spirit having a good guide spirit with you really changes on your life and makes everything I teach them don't you agree making yes yes awesome so a shaman essentially a person who is able to bridge the gap between the two worlds let me ask you this so you mentioned I said two worlds three worlds as you guys put it so is there arm just because you have the middle earth where we are then you have the angels and the demons are the demons in the underworld is that necessarily bad or do the demons assist us and and help us in things as well no no definitely of all the animistic traditions I would say to do not happy but rather a horizontal view so this this this world structure lacks sort of ethical it's not to say that the underworld of demons is necessarily evil and envy the world of all is good I must say that in the last few centuries because shamanism at least as savvy as has undergone a lot of influence of Buddhism Islam and especially Orthodox Christianity moral concepts that belong to these religions have sort of got into into shamanism quite a lot so it will meet a lot of friends that have this view that the demons are bad the spirits of the of the upper world are good and generally shannon's divided themselves into different germ lists in Siberia again they divide themselves into black caimans white shaman's and they're also yellow Feynman's that are buddhist shaman's but generally the black caimans deal with the forces of the underworld and the white Raymond's deal instead with say celestial forces and nowadays there is this assumption that black caimans are sort of involved in witchcraft and and sort of negative verses and things like that exactly exactly once the wine shaman's are the good ones the healers that is not true absolutely not true it is traditionally it simply shaman's that have you could say different specialities that deal with the different types of illnesses and and have her perform different little ritual purposes in the community but as I said with with the influx of different moral systems this perception has changed with some you know you mentioned Christianity and Islam and some of these other moral traditions kind of kind of sinking in and I think that there's just a piece of shamanism in all those religions as well if for someone who is like a follower of the Christian path right it's that the shamanism go against their traditional beliefs or would you say that looking at the scriptures in the life of Jesus was G was Jesus a shaman shaman definitely I'm writing a book about Mary Magdalene now and so I went down in this topic and I definitely see Jesus as a shaman you see a shaman is someone who can perceive reality not only through his thinking over thinking mind but also with her or his heart you see we have also an a thought of the art not only a thought of it of the mind we also had the fault of the art and a Sherman is someone who can think through his or her heart not only through his or her mind and Jesus was definitely a shaman from this point of view you see and it was a mirror and his way of healing was definitely similar to the way of healing of Chamonix and and crossed the great threshold and he came back as exactly as the shamans do yeah there's something that is known as the shamanic death and stuff as well right oh yes yes I was about that but unfortunately is still not just translated in in English has been translated in other languages but not in English and I wrote a book about shamanic dothis which is a ritual a ritual but every real shaman as to perform before to become a shaman is a ritual of death die and be reborn Diane will burn and is a really great and powerful ritual which changes all your perspective you see I think that until until individual has not died and be burned he continues to be unhappy and unsatisfied in this planet Earth the dating life of the death in life is a really key to shift from suffering a pain illusions to another completely different wave of projection where pain is not suffering but is powerful and energy is a very high level another way of perceiving reality where limitations are opportunities and even death is not an end just a transformation you see is a question of awareness I think that human beings the present human beings are full of fear a full of fear because we live in a dual state of consciousness where and the world is a distinctive and separated from the outer world is not true and the world is is distinct but not separated from the outer world and so are bad and good which are distinct but not separated but if you live in a world where bad and good and wouldn't our world are distinct and separated then you live full of fear you are full of fear every time of course because you you are in fear of bad you can't awake your real potential your real possibilities if you want your inner senses are contracted and closed and so you can see the invisibility you can't see what is hidden to the normal senses and if you can't see what is hidden to the normal senses of course you you die of course you die you you finish you end because at the moment of dying you can perceive your consciousness which must be continuous between life and death visible and invisible interrupts interact cut off cut off itself because of fear you see because of fear human beings are forced to have a death like an end because they are not able to be aware on the other side of the great region and so they have a impression what death is the end of everything but is not if you can be aware if you can see if you can pursue cinema here and there in the both side of the great treasured so you perfectly you are perfectly able to understand but death is not an end death is just love as everything in this world everything is love in this world and Jesus is a it's the greatest teacher of battle so he is but greatest Sherman but we can refer to us you know what I mean oh yeah I know I love it now I'm with you on that too it almost seems like you know we hear terms like as above so below as within so without like there's this mirror image and it almost seems like the two realms you know the heaven in hell or the above and be below they're almost like mirror images of one another wouldn't you say that my most argument was trying to get across and and most of the essence of feminism is this you see at the time of oh oh oh man oh man oh man oh man at the time of Homer only and the world existed and everyone after death joined the underworld the upper world entered in the humanity unconscious only later with the genius Virgil Virgil with Virgil but before the Homer Homer times there were only there in inferior who which which has not to be seen as inferior but as interior you see paradise and has the division the separation between paradise and half is recently recently didn't exist at the how many times I think that even comes into Christianity as well like when we're reading the scriptures there was no mention of of Hell like in the Old Testament Hell was like a state of consciousness upon the earth that an individual could walk in right it wasn't somewhere that you go when you die going to hell or to the underworld oh yes yes I agree i perfectly agree the separation between heaven and hell good and bad is a question of powers because human beings want power they divided but two dimension in order to be able to to have control upon nature and upon other and you see shamanism is a is a really great and powerful tool to overcome this separation and if you are able to overcome this separation your fear math math disappears and because fear is because the very cause of many diseases and sufferings so melting metal fear is a really great thing that we can do in order to react repeat our body and nature absolutely have tools to do something to have our bodies and nature in this time and this is why I am I believe about shaman's and Nashua Hyuga in particularly which is my topic can help a lot well yeah that's that's why I wanted to get into now so we're talking about nature and how to interact but there are practices there's probably levels to it there's some really deep ritualistic stuff but then there's things that that everyday people can do to interact as well right like shamanic yoga that's kind of a new term even for me we hear Transcendental Meditation and different types of yoga bhakti yoga and things like that but what what is a shamanic yoga and what what is that and when you mention that term shamanic yoga is a very primitive an animistic of course form of yoga and it's about ecstasy we can say that we do a shamanic yoga when we enter a state of ecstasy and in this state which is a state of non-dual consciousness a state of trance aside like trance-like state I mean when we enter in the state we can do yoga in a different manner we do yoga postures we do breath control meditation all in this state of ecstasy which is called imaginal forest sometimes also psychic forest so when we practice a shamanic yoga at the beginning we enter the state of consciousness we enter the imaginal forest and once we are in we practice yoga postures breath control meditation all the yoga techniques and methods but in a state of Estes ecstasy which is a non dual state of consciousness as I said and how do you enter that state of act ecstasy is it by doing the practice that gets you to this state or is it something else that will get you to the aesthetic state first we have different instruments for instance drumming music chanting voice vibrations repeating a mantra the Maha mantra is very powerful nine repetitions of this mantra allow you to enter the ecstasy state and also our other tools we have other tools like active visualization all the tools of shamanic yoga are made we say why son experience and mother experience joined together the mother experience is a visualization experience and the son experience is an energetic and body and experiences so in order to enter the imaginal forest one has to control the breath in order to rise the energetic level of the body and then also enter in a special particular visualization and maybe singing and singing a mantra or playing a drama this is very helpful as well and once you are in once you are in this state you are exactly in the middle between visible and invisible between conscious and unconscious this is the dimension that we call imaginal imaginal and not imaginary or something but imaginal imaginal is the middle-earth is best space between visible and invisible life-and-death human and divine and this world where all our images which become thoughts ideas emotions and then events or the images which become events take place in this space that imagine so you understand that being able to enter the space is Veggie to become a co-creator of reality I like that I've always kind of went by the term shaman because it's one who's able to kind of bridge the two worlds and like we're able to access those heightened states of consciousness to go into what we would call the trance state the dream state and get that image for ourselves our dreams our life's journey there's a lot of different names and stuff that people have given this their destiny Scrolls whatever to commune with the higher power to commune with God the higher self even go into those states see that picture of what they are supposed to be doing their purpose in life and through these spiritual techniques almost be able to pull it out of that etheric realm and embody it in the now moment it's almost a sense of manifestation the law of attraction even maybe the secret to be able to go into the trance State and be able to pull things out of that realm is that what you're talking about with the new changer changes forever and the youth every time you take out something very important but what I want to say inspect them every moment in our life is a shamanic journey but we have to be aware for instance when we eat even when we breathe when we fall asleep when we wake up when we change our food we make a shamanic journey we undertake a shamanic journey you see for instance when we eat something be it an apple a character we carries alive between one side to the other of a great threshold and nobody can do that without undertaking the journey himself that's art you see so every time you eat something you do a shamanic journey but if you are not aware of that you can't really take out from this action you can really take out from eating what eating can give you and this is why people nowadays have an operatic really neurotic relationship with food and aging because in our society which is a death sacralized society we have lost the ability to understand the real meanings the real meaning of our action because we love the invisible side of things you see and even when you when you breathe you do you take a journey when you breathe out you manifest everything that exists and when you breathe Li you reabsorb or withdrawal everything all the projections all the images so if you are really aware of your breath you can see that life and death are simultaneously and intertwined and if one can see clearly but life and death are intertwined one go beyond fear you see goes beyond fear and this is my kids live a fulfilled life I think it was important you were you were saying earlier about the shaman being a bridge again I think that and you were saying how I'm being a bridge he is able to to lead you to do that invisible dimension where you're able to realize a lot about your lives in that sense the shaman is even more even more than average she's a creator in a certain sense of reality because you could even say that the the the role of a shaman is very close to that of a poet in especially in societies where poets do have a an important purpose like I think of ancient Greek society where I mean the word poet after all come from it comes from for years which means the creation making some and not the poet was was a person who in a certain sense created reality because just like a famous a poet goes back to the mythical level of existence and and it's what my mom was saying in the sense that behind all actions in our life lies in myth lies to put it in Psychological terms an archetype and and and when you go to Siberia when you meet these shapes really understand that one of the most powerful tools that they have is storytelling and shamanism like whole animistic tradition is really strongly intertwined with mythology and the case of shamanism of course with Turkic and Mongolian mythology of course shaman's were very present in in ancient Greek against society with all wisdom etc which was all intertwined with with the Greek mythology so yes the Fremen is a bridge but he's also there that the creator of a whole interpretation of exists through storytelling through our inner narrative we create our reality and through storytelling we can change our reality well just like we're talking about Homer he created this hell that the underworld and he gave you pictures in different levels of torment and different levels of purging and you know those how they give you a visual representation and essentially he created it for you because now it's an adopted thing and it's a part of our religions and things like that it's something that artistically he created you know he went into the ethers of the mind and pulled it out and I was presenting it to you and it's become many people's truths right not necessarily that it's good you know I'm not saying it's good but he he created something like that right it's you know giving it to Christianity like their concept of Hell comes from that you know I think that we the Greek mythological narrative I think still lies very much as the Christian narrative like that at the basis of our society at the basis of our moral system on the basis of even a metaphysical and-and-and a scientific even view of God of the world and and that is why going back to mythology going back to narrative is really the key to understanding who we are and what we we are doing as individuals and as the as a civilization yeah I think there's a resurgence now and we're having this conversation and many more people are whether shamanism or just the eastern traditions and spirituality Native American spirituality while all this stuff's coming back there's a scripture in the Bible that's really close to my heart and it talked it says to go back and revisit the ancient path and there at the ancient past the ancient ways you'll find rest for your souls right and so just going back to these ways that have been forgotten by by society today and our ancestors practices they knew about this type of communication they knew about breathwork in yoga and Transcendental Meditation so it's nothing new it's very a resurgence of something very old what what are some of the ideas that come across through maybe even plant medicine is that something that you guys participate in because I know like from the shamanic tradition they believe that the spirits behind the plants they would they want to teach us as well so the different plant teachers whether it be ayahuasca psilocybin mushrooms and things like that this really catching on now and people are going to the Amazon people are taking these trips to reconnect to their spiritual roots so how do you guys practice the use of plant medicines at all practice them also that I took ayahuasca and what I can say now is that in the medicine plants the reason a spirit a forest spirit of a spirit of the forest and you see in my opinion taking something from outside in order to enter a state of ecstasy which is an amplify the state of consciousness could be useful a button only if you do that once twice is too much because if you if you do it twice it's because you haven't recognized the spirit being in you in the first time you see and so we did you didn't you you didn't really meet a spirit once you take a medicine plant a spirit enter within you and you have to recognize this and be able to understand but visas forever and you don't need to do it twice you don't need to do it twice once is enough one that is enough [Laughter] is enough you see and yes this is my opinion anyway in shamanic yoga we enter ecstasy we enter amplified state of consciousness and we undertake the shaman occur journey absolutely without anything from outside all the possibilities our webinar and we and they take a journey through something that is within us we don't need anything outside and it's very interesting because we're going through I mean I don't have much experience of South America as my mom does but going through through Siberia Central Asia will often ask different shaman's what they think about this not because you would meet shaman's that would do everything completely drunk having drawn two bottles of vodka or smoking a pie or you will meet a shame and who instead would say absolutely not you shouldn't be under the influx of any substance it's it's blasphemous to to to consume any substance during a ritual and what you come to realize is that the basic rule of feminism is that there are no rules feminism is is a very personal experience and every single somehow plays his role as a shaman so connects with with with different worlds connects with in a very individual way in the way which works for him or her just as the way in which they became shaman's is very personal and and I think that's that's something important to take away that authentic spiritual experience is something subjective it's what works for you personally and what I really personally like about shamanism is the fact that in true shamanism emphasizes the the sink receives the specificities of the individual yes perfectly I perfectly I remember my true manic yoga teacher when offered me medicine plant before to do that it brought me into the forest and it told me Selena he asked me who is breathing who is breathing I died to thinking oh my god who is breathing it's me no it's not me I said to myself because when I breathe out and I am me I emit co2 and the trees breathing my co2 and white wire and I'm breathing in trees produce and oxygen and when I breathe in I breathe in the oxygen that tree produced so who is breathing who is breathing it's not me and so I have served mmm it's not me I don't know who is breathing but it's not me and so my teacher said okay you know you can take the plant now you can take the plant otherwise if if someone take a medicine plant you see keeping isn't over consciousness within the sense of I I in the sense of I if you are in the sense of your eye and you take a medicine plant the result is that you burn some synapses first of all you have to go out you have to go out the walls of your eye you have to go out the sense of your eye you must be able to enter the inner space where outside inside visible and invisible in deidre and forest are distinct but not separated you see once you are in this stage of consciousness then if you take a medicine plant you do a proper journey and you don't run the risk to burn your sign synopsis if you are in the in the cage if you are in the prison of your eye and you take a medicine plant your honor ease because you have fear if you are in in your sense of why you are in the fear and if you are in the fear and you take a medicine plant you run always a risk a big risk so better to be able to go out of a sense of I before to take a medicine plant scram we have a question here from the chat Kris garner wants to know as far as the shamanic path is concerned how do shamans view empathy and being empathetic being able to feel the emotions of you know maybe not just people in spirits but even the earth feel the emotions of the earth and learn to sing that song and communicate healing that way so do you guys talk about you know being empathetic at all being able to feel the energies from that other people are sensing and stuff like that yes because you see once you are beyond morals which separate bad from good and evil from from good when you are beyond moralism you acquire the power of inclusiveness and a shaman is also some who got the power of inclusiveness through is true the kind of his or her invisible lover the guide spirit the guide spirit you see and be inclusive having the power of inclusiveness doesn't mean simply perceive the emotions of the other but means being the average you see any further than that I think that what you're getting at is that shamanism tends to substitute a an ethical perception of the world that is other people but also as he was saying nature and and the cosmos in general substituted the ethical perception of the world with a anaesthetic of anesthetic that's not the way aesthetic doesn't mean beautiful but going back to the original recruit of the world puts at the center the feeling not aesthetical as the opposite of an aesthetical now and and so they and they they change completely the narrative of which we see saints not for example now the the burning of forests in the Arctic or the Amazon rainforest we seed as as a biodiversity or ecological disaster we see as as the loss of people who put it in terms of economical loss what the Freeman say and what the things have been saying it's a Eva for example is that a know that the forests are crying the forests are dying in a way as if to to to to sort of personalize these forests talking about them as if the web people with a movie such as out I feel that that is an aesthetic perception of of the vimana writing saying absolutely absolutely we always say in shamanic shamanic path that aesthetic experience is the great alternative to therapeutic model if the therapeutic model is seems to be they only go to solutions for all kind of problem we can't feel bad very an alternative which is not an alternative therapy but which is an alternative to therapy you see because therapy is an aesthetic and aesthetic aesthetic aesthetic experience which is also an aesthetic a poetic experience which is a shamanic experience is the experience of inclusiveness which is bringing back the soul to everything na na nun began by saying we live in a decentralized world and I believe that this shift from ethic to aesthetic this saying at the forest is dying the forest this crime is a bringing back of the soul into into into everything to that world with which with objectified and which we have therefore subjected to considerations of a purely economic kind yes and I think these encounters also the true Christianity the Christianity of the origin you see at the beginning a bill and kind were brothers and to be brothers in the meat means to be two faces of the same reality two faces of the same reality but afterward you ceilings everything went lost because human beings want power and in order to have power in order to have control you have absolutely to separate and divide but from good and this is not in nature nature as sad as my son said nature as a know his own perspective and not a vertical one like the minders that's good what is the mother mantra is a mantra mantra is a vibration is a vibration you see they used very happy to survey used to fooders the central Ethiopia awareness in their in in the I in the sense of I is a very habit of our civilization and our one can go beyond that it's not easy because the condition mount is very deep in ourselves so we have to go deep down in order to cleanse the conditioned mind and we have to reach our organs because the condition mount is in our organ cells is in our body we have to to go very deep down and through a mantra we can do that because a mantra is a vibration and through a vibration of the mantra we can reach the mind of ash which is a vibrational form of consciousness and the mantra is a very powerful tool and but the maha-mantra tradition is not only the repetition of the man the man traumatic tradition as I said before is when Corum shamanic yoga teachings and either the tradition of the mystical marriage many practices and healing exercises are known in this traditional and always practices and healing exercises are done with with the company of our guide spirit we which is seen as a bride or groom as an invisible lover in the shamanic traditions of the world and in my book always practices and healing exercises are well described so through the book and I think people can do a lot and if it is not enough they can go on my websites for instance and on my website Selina colonias dot-com there are a lot of webinars free webinars and videos in which I'll describe how to do how to enter by much not forest how to practice by healing exercises how to enter the mystical marriage and and so on I think we are very powerful truths very necessary nowadays proper present you my beings awesome yeah it's really good work and thank you so much for coming on I got another question for your son when's your book coming out - when I'm starting some research on on Central Asian shamanism at Cambridge and then we also man yeah I really enjoyed this conversation guys thank you so much for hanging out with me again Celine your website is Celine Cologne Williams calm in there you can check out the book and you have a bunch of resources and teachings and stuff on your website your website's really well-made so yeah make sure everybody you guys head on over there check out the book and everything that she has as well so is there anything that we didn't cover that you guys wanted to speak on man before we go I think we did a great overview just touching on a lot of different subjects and just kind of giving an over overview about what shamanism is and to not to be scared of it and you know we do have a decent sized Christian audience here and it's awesome to kind of bridge the gap even there to let them know that their founder Jesus was a shaman as well one who is very well versed in working with the spirits and and back and forth between the worlds quite literally even write something about Gnosticism which which was and is also the Christianity esoteric Christianity in the esoteric Christianity you see we can find the mystical marriage image - and it's a marriage between a Christ and Sophia Sophia yes and Sophia the world the Sophia in Greek means knowledge and Christ Islam Christ and Sophia have never to be divided they have always to be together in every one of us you see if we divided the knowledge from love then we have trouble and Jesus is a really great master a really great teacher who can teaches us how to do to keep wisdom wisdom and love wisdom and love always together in our in our society because is a Disick relized society who knows the one news doesn't have a power and the one who have power doesn't know yes - where is a knowledge of the power but is very such knowledge of the one who has power but is a technical knowledge is a strategic knowledge and the one who knows doesn't have power because he is a true truth seeker you see and he is interested in seek the truth and not in the power this is why this division is separation between knowledge and power in our civilization is a really great problem in my opinion we need that person who has knowledge are also willing to get power and to guide society to a new different dimension which must be absolutely by the nation of law we need leaders in our society who are able not only to have a technical strategical knowledge but who are able to love and to feel through love we need that and we need that urgently urgently someone like Donald Trump the quite opposite of what you just said you know you know I find it funny because Joe Rogan from the Joe Rogan podcast he says that he thinks that all the leaders need to get up and do mushrooms together and then let them experience eternity let them experience the heights of the heavens and the depths of hell and let them exceed what reality really is and then they will come back more loving more empathetic and more ready to serve people versus serve the big pharma companies in the big oil industries and things like that so that's his say that's all we need to do just get them all together and let the plants teach them right I think it would change their lives but I don't know if it would happen in a perfect world it would but I thought that was interesting that he said that sounds awesome so do so in the book there are some techniques and things that you give are there any videos and stuff on the website that actually show you guys doing the practice and stuff as well about making in practice and people can can practice looking at the videos it's very it's very easy shamanic Yoga is a very easy way of doing yoga because it's a very ancient yoga and so it's simple that you see when you go back in time and you reach a simple very simple that's good stuff I love it and I'm very all the practices that you that you said I like to encompass as well we talk about you know I'm a poet as well so what I bring to the table in creating these realms and these mystical experiences through my music and in we talk about the power of it and other people listen to the music and it allows them to kind of journey and go on those experiences as well and which is really interesting the power of the poet or the creator as you said and that's definitely we have the music the music raises vibration or put you in a trance state anyway and then you have the lyrics and the intention and everything and the sounds and you know the different frequencies even in the output data waves and binary Oh beats and things like that it creates for a beautiful you know experience through meditation as well so that's awesome you mention that I mean the most important tool of any treatment is the drama definitely singing with with a drum is at the center is the way in which shaming reaches that stage but my mom calls ecstasy that trance-like state through music through with his the drum but that's just the beginning right you have the drum you maybe have incense you maybe have to breath work the visualization all combined together the beautiful thing is which I like this indigenous path which more people are going back to is because you don't need anything outside of you and that's even the thing with the the plant medicines is you have to seek something outside of yourself to get you in that state when really everything that's already within your breathing technique your visualization chanting mantras it's all things that we can do by ourselves and we don't need anything outside of ourselves which is the really cool part about the de spiritual path of the of the the ancients and I believe Jesus taught that too right obviously what we have in Christianity is something totally different than what Jesus brought to the table but that's where the power really lies in is that we all can enter in wherever we are no matter what belief system we have these practices there's no respecter of persons right they work for everybody right I feel the Jesus figure image very close by me and you see I come from a very Christianity terrain environment I have a grandma was Shaymin and she was so Christian and so close by Jesus and so I realized since I was very young that we also Western people we have a shamanic strong traditions which goes through Christianity and now I think that we we must be able to recover to remember this tradition it's very useful for us for nature and for for for Christianity as well because we have I think we have to have Christianity to remember its origin and get rid of God mode yes institution institution have done yeah that's that's pretty much my assignment and you know and I work in the Christian realm somewhat and going back just reading the Bible and just seeing how in touch these people were with the spirit world I mean they were interacting with angels they were going into trance State they were fasting and just only eating some vegetables for a prolonged period of time and in the midst of doing that they would meet with angels and things like that so the Bible is full of these beautiful encounters and experiences that to me you enter those states through shamanic yoga right you there's the the spiritual practice and the spiritual beliefs of the Ancients right I think you know they don't it doesn't say that but you doesn't use that term right in the Bible but I think some of the things that they were doing and walking in a spirit of love and knowing that love was the highest form of operation and and and doing that and being able to conquer your fears and transcend the lower levels of reality and things like that so it's it's really beautiful won't like you said being able to help Christianity remember who they were not become something different but just remember who you were you crazy yeah it's a shamanic ritual you eat the body Christ the Christ the body of Christ and you drink the blood of Christ this is a shamanic ritual you see in shamanism a similarly Twala is well known since the times of your region since with very ancient time shamans perform such a ritual because we are perfectly aware but Christ is everywhere everywhere love is Christ innocent and so if you eat an apple which gives itself for you if you eat a tomato or a carrot which gives its life for you so what you eat at the end what you eat at the end you eat now you'd love so everything everything we can eat is love everything we can eat is cry everything we can drink is love everything we can drink is Christ and we have polluted water we have contaminated food that means but we have contaminated Christ we have contaminated water we have contaminated an idea of God we have contaminated our feeling of love and we have to cleanse the transit and this means that we have to remember that origins we have to remember where that beginning you see of our faith so good yes I think that faith is the greatest power of human being safe and long are two faces of the same reality and safe love love fever is the greatest power of human beings if you if you can remember this power you have everything you don't need anything else motivation productivity invention you see all that yes you mention of us illusion of the mind we have only one great power which is faith and law faith law and if we recover if we remember this power we we don't need anything else we have everything we have the freedom and in freedom everything is included wellness richness are all expect of freedom we must be free and in order to be free we need to remember our power of faith and loss we need to remember Jesus Christ I love it wah Celine thank you for coming on you and your son I enjoyed your presence as well man thank you guys for hanging out with me really enjoyed this episode again right here at the last moment let's go and plug your website again one more time for everybody I love it guys thanks so much man I'd love to have y'all back on again thanks so much many blessings bye-bye loved it Celine Kalani Williams and her son great addition to the podcast man I loved it just talking about returning again to the ancient paths man shamanic yoga it almost seems like just all of the indigenous spirituality combined right so I think I think in some some ways were all students of shamanic yoga we're all influenced by it right there's many different types of yoga mindfulness for Yoga Kundalini Yoga but I think it encompasses a little bit of all of it the rhythm of the drum puts me under hypnosis I knowing it by the fire of tongues that's close cloven Hebrews mystics prophets chosen share it with the world not truth is spoken the drums meant all of these things you know and I've been telling people recently just trying to introduce them to breathwork and how powerful that is and putting that in trying that with your meditations and with your your closet time and things like that but the drums the drums and the rhythm and then getting your body and your spine in motion in with the drums as well it's so powerful man the new tool CD album just got leaked fear inoculum comes out in four days but it's leaked and I got to listen to it some this morning and then it's amazing the the music every song is over ten minutes and it's almost like a spiritual experience in and of itself that you can put on and go in so if you listen to this album like and you meditate close your eyes and go within move your body do some of the different koreas and some of the different bodily positions with the breath work I mean the number two on the album it's a song called Numa which is about the sacred breath and returning to the the breath and remembering the breaths don't forget the breath guys right embrace listen to that song while doing breathing exercises oh my goodness it that in and of itself is a spiritual experience and so the new tool that the new tool album is a tool for us to enter those states man it's awesome because the different timing signatures and the lyrics that are being spoken the tones man it is so beautiful so that's how that's something that we could we can embrace I'd love to do that with a group of people just go and meditate listen to that freaking album man the timing signatures the drums man there's in it it's an experience that's a rollercoaster of just the really soft tones and then taking you on to some different heavier melodies and stuff like that so it's really beautiful embracing all of it I don't think that there's one that's greater than the other I don't think that there's I don't think that you even have to do them all together but it's like the more the merrier right you got your incense burning you got some crystals around you you got you know you have the aromatherapy with the incense light healing right you got your light on with you put on some good healing light some green light green light meditation man the frequencies and tones that you're listening to in your meditation and then the drums and then the chanting chant the ohms of the arms or the different mantras again to talk about the mother mantras the name of her book of another mantra that is really beautiful near and dear to my heart is the mantra ramadasa ramadasa saw say so hung there's different ways that you can do it I'm not the best at doing those mantras in a group of people I really don't like this to hear the sound of my voice doing that back because I don't think I'm that good at it but when I'm by myself and I tap in by myself and I'm doing these mantras even if it's just doing the ohm mantras doing it in a three part syllable the three different parts you can feel it the eye starts off in the stomach and you're vibrating the the the O is more in the throat and then the mmm is all in the face and you can feel it stimulating the third eye you can feel is stimulating the third out the pineal gland so if you have all that stuff and you combined it you're trying to leave your body there you go all the tools are there you're trying to meet with God there you go trying to encounter angels summon UFOs there you go you create it with the imaginal force of the mind and then it becomes reality it's different if it's just strong delusion and you're just imagining things that aren't there but when it it almost all is just not there right because there's no proof until it crosses the threshold into this reality now we've done something you're summoning UFOs people think you're crazy wait one peered through one showed up okay hold on something's happening you're out there trying to summon UFO is praying for angels to show up and it's just this weird place in the mind that you like I'm gonna go there I'm gonna engage this to see if there's anything there then it shows up your meeting with angels in the etheric realm who were giving you blessings or whispering wisdom to you but then it shows up in your waking state you were able as a summon to go to the that realm and pull something out you were able to bid the angels to show up and they made an appearance again with the with the dualistic nature of everything there's there's pros and cons there's good and bad right be careful don't get caught up in the worshipping of angels as some have who is so easily bewitched you from the simplicity of the gospel right there's these things these warnings these checks that we got to make sure that we're not so far out there that we're so spiritually minded that were no earthly good but the shaman the mystic someone who stands in the in the in the gap in the threshold between heaven and earth and is a bridge of the two which is through the the christian mystic would approach that through christ and what he did and he torn the veil that we can freely travel that we can freely have access to the Father and we don't need to go to a pastor we don't need to go to a an altar but we create an altar within our own heart and within our own homes and within our own sacred space that God comes in and fills the temple how through the breath experiencing God and as close as your next breath and being able to feel the Holy Spirit to be able to be at one to be meditating with your feet on the ground sitting out in nature the cool breeze blowing against your face and you can your Trent you're immediately transported back to that place where I had them walked with God in the cool of the day and then you're not just at one with yourself you're not just at one with your family and your friends and the other believers you're at one with all of creation the birds the insects the worms they're communicating you learn their song it moves on it becomes it gets a lot bigger your spirituality your theology gets a lot more inclusive and you see how small you really are in this whole scape of things and how everything is meant to be here everything exists for a reason and you feel the wind blow and you look at the trees and the wind just begins to move to the trees and it almost is like an entity that's pushing the trees these experiences men that we were talking about just Sunday morning on our Cyr classes like we just was getting into some really deep conversation and you know we can talk about this stuff and I know that talking just like the brother said how the the poet you know it's creating it and it's creating something within people when they hear this they're just they want more they're wanting to draw away I mean I look at my music and it's all there you know but it's it hits different individuals differently some people here turn it off I don't like it I don't believe it I don't even know what you're talking about you're making up you're making it up as you go some people say that other people would hear it and be like man it ignites something within them to go outside to begin to stargaze to go and book a flight to Salt Lake Washington to go to James Gillan's East Eddy ranch and go have an encounter there for themselves to book a shaman to book a session with a Reiki Master or healer or one-on-one session over the internet whatever it is man but just to kind of step out it's unlocking things within you as we're dealing with energy as we're dealing with the language of light the higher vibration of love it's all it's all love she said faith in love the two high is right they complement one another one doesn't exist without the other the Bible says that faith that love is what fuels your faith love is like your faith in action right it's not just having faith of just believing in the unseen but it's about walking in and doing something well we believe in angels yeah we believe in demons but have you engaged them have you seen them you can all of this stuff is possible and more and it is embraced through what we've talked about today shamanic yoga these rituals everybody wants to terms in traditions you know they want to own it I've this is mine this is ours I want to put a distinction between the two this is universal here o Israel the Lord is one God is not divided he's in both realms the good the bad the ugly I'm the LORD thy God I created light and darkness is what the scripture says but you but there in there is notice there's no difference but you need the two there is not one without the other the yin and the yang they're both together the good and the bad learn to rejoice within both as the Apostle Paul said I am content I could do all things through Christ no matter what season of his life that he's in he knows that it's all working together for his good and that's what we need to needs to be imparted to us a level of gratitude so strong that nothing can pull you off of that path nothing can deter you off of the road that God has put you on and God has called you to yeahthere's trials of tribulations there's doubt there's fears and all these things but they all work together for your good working and building and releasing something in you that can't be bought they tried to buy the gift of God they tried to buy the Holy Spirit it can't be bought this is something that's gonna take a lifetime to cultivate a lifetime to walk in and and and as you maintain it and you work with it in the different levels and complexities than the different points of view of the Holy Spirit and of God's plan for your life you're able to see it in everything working for your good in everything not just the good things the fun times without the bad times there are no fun times do you have no you have no contrast there there's nothing to compare it to you don't know what the light is until you've sat in utter darkness thank God for the darkness thank God for the light for all of it this beautiful journey which God the Father is the author and the finisher of our faith this is beautifully written out your path is beautifully written there's a plan and a purpose for you don't grow weary in well-doing get with the author of that plan get with the one who wrote it how first of all we get to it through love itself which is Jesus right but then the practice the spiritual practice do the same things Jesus did shamanic yoga the trance state singing worship look all through its all throughout the Scriptures man I try my best to give you examples and bring this stuff out but it is a attainable for everyone and in as much as you're willing and able to believe God for it's available it's possible that's how like you know that's between you and God you know if the Bible says that whatsoever you believe it'll be given to you according to your faith according to your faith not my faith nothing shall by any means being impossible unto you well what's that nothing well nothing is different for each one of us that nothing is different nothing - you may be trying to heal your ancestral path nothing for me may be trying to pay the bills this month nothing for someone else is restoring a marriage it says nothing shall by any means be impossible unto you it'll be given to you according to your faith according to the way that you believe nothing is impossible all things are possible for he has turned our mourning into dancing our sorrow into joy our night and today believe God for it man and he's got you this far but he's got greater things in store your best days are ahead of you believe it that's the Bible believe it it's for you prophesy to your life guys man I really enjoyed this talk it was really good the indigenous path and I'm stepping a little bit closer into mine as well and
