/ Shapeshifting in the Matrices by
James Nicholas
Shamanism
from the perspective of a full-blood Cree Indian is a
non-linear, de-globalized, anti-hybrid post-modern society, at
once ma mah ta wi si win and matrices. But to enter the matrix
you have to be aware and knowledgeable of the portals which
may or may not avail themselves to you. I don’t know who picks
shamans or indeed how they are picked, but this much I do
know, you know. One must begin at the beginning, in the womb,
the genetic code, the double helix, the strand of DNA which
determines the why and what and where of… One must be a child
of the earth, of the land, in order to understand the simple,
the profound, the sacred, the spiritual. The inner world
vis-à-vis the world as it appears when you look up at the
stars on a dark night. One must sacrifice for knowledge and
dare to go where no human mind or spirit has dared to venture.
One must see through and around the time/space/earth/self
continuum, with the added ability to bend it, harness it, or
bring it to a standstill.
