I have no intention of such. Like I said, I'm still working on this
economic thing- and it is in early genesis at best.
I am in a complete state of innocence regarding shaman, since I have no
reason to either approach or reject them. They do not exist within my
culture. I am trying to understand why they would in any culture. To that
effect I have only accounts and anthropological studies- no immersion in
any aspect of a culture which accepts the magical.
I am asking for a disinterested examination of shamanism, which is all I
can pursue.
In a way then, I am taking the agenda position of extra-cultural
investigation. To me this would be a proper memetic examination of the
phenomenom as well.
And in no way can I see my rejection of the magical as a role-play for a
shaman.
I am certainly not trying to generate fear, but to dissipate it through
reason.
Did none of this transmit?
