Great post SHM
It makes much sense for me and confirms that what I have done with knowledge was 'right' - even though I felt like a fool all the way, cos I didn't dig so deep into it, finding out the right and wrong with other people and mastering the concepts. Still the effect of being deranged from the tonal happened.
What matters is the direct effect on our perception and consciousness, caused by the very act of mapping – i.e. exploring ideas, power plants, meditations, prayers. For me, the ‘truth’ or otherwise of an idea is irrelevant – what matters is, is it ‘active’? Does it have power to cause a shift of perception or awareness? The personal experience is the most important - directly experiencing what is. For me this is the essential in shamanism as our personal experience is the direct link with nagual and tonal and our Heart. Polish that link and you will Know the truth from within.
Knowledge and sharing is good/useful a it might open up to 'looking' in new directions and confirming for oneself the truth.
