I have never been able to draw conclusions about shamanism because in order to do this one needs to be an active member in the shamans’ world. For a social scientist, let’s say for example a sociologist, it is very easy to arrive at sociological conclusions over any subject related to the Occidental world, because the sociologist is an active member of the Occidental world. But how can an anthropologist, who spends at the most two years studying other cultures, arrive at reliable conclusions about them? One needs a lifetime to be able to acquire membership in a cultural world.
I’ve been working for more than thirty years in the cognitive world of the shamans of ancient Mexico and, sincerely, I don’t believe I have acquired the membership that would allow me to draw conclusions or to even propose them. =))
