Shamanistic Visual Perceptions Using Mind Machine: Incredible

Mmmm… you know about the corvidae, the raven family ? The animal connection is a fundamental point… I think this was one of the basic things known to native americans… and also a zone of disconnect between consumer culture and what was well known to them… to live in and among animals on their terms as much as on yours is greatly unlike the suburbanized, homogenized, plasticized way of life we seem to be so proud of, in many ways so defensive of… Yeah, you can have mental connections with animal…

Did I mention the bird landed on the ground in front of me today? Yup and I still couldn’t decern what type of bird it was. Pretty sure some type of eagle. It was like I had a mental connection with him.
