This is the story of an anthropologist's encounter with a Huichol Indian known as 'Mad Jesus'. Jesus was an artisan, a shaman, a self-styled prophet, a mad messiah, and a murderous mystic. Timothy J Knab was a young anthropologist soliciting life histories from Huichols in Mexico City when they met. The life story of Jesus may have been the ravings of a madman, but it also embodied the Huichol anticipation of the return of Santo Cristo, the saviour who will restore the Huichol to their place as masters of the world around them. Neither Knab's studies in anthropology nor his experiences in the...

This text explains why beliefs in supernatural forces - ghosts, poltergeists, witches, and spirits - are based on universal experience. The author maintains that beliefs in mysterious anomalies such as estatic trances, apparitions, extra-sensory perceptions, out-of-body experiences, psychokinesis, firewalking, and miraculous recovery are predicated upon evolutionary psychology. Such beliefs reveal a spiritual impulse in the human species. He aims to demonstrate that age-old healing rituals such as chanting and rythmic dancing have scientically verifiable benefits.

After 'Hit Man'

The New York Times bestseller Confessions of an Economic Hit Man documents John Perkins' extraordinary career as a globe-trotting economic hit man.

Perkins' books demonstrate how the age-old shamanic techniques of some of the world's most primitive peoples have sparked a revolution in modern concepts about healing, the...

In his most recent effort, Apollo Starmule's bawdy approach to the sacred is on display again, as his obsession with his phallus. Yet Starmule's unusual approach somehow seems to lend a certain dignity to his subject, which marches with head held high on the parade ground of self-esteem with the treatment given by Starmule's deft hand. This little forty-eight page wonder of a book provides a fine introduction to some of the topics Starmule dealt with in-depth in his landmark novel of Speculative Mythology, UNDO THE WINTER. Now with CRUCIFIXION AND RESURRECTION, he has produced a book that is...

Dreaming is the basis of human consciousness. We do it all day, every day. Subtle signs of particular meaning that we tend to miss, ignore or misinterpret during waking hours become the seeds of our night dreams. Dr Mindell asserts that in order to utilise the power of dreaming, we must notice these subtle clues before they unfold and become differentiated into the ideas and emotions that occur in night dreams. He provides powerful dreaming applications for body work, chronic symptom work and relationship therapies.

Dennison Tsosie, a traditional Navajo silversmith and artist, began receiving spontaneous dreams and visions in 1986. Here he shares the visionary world of prophetic teachings which shed light on missing pieces of history--from a multitude of past cultures to our own potential future. (Parapsychology)

Sarah Milledge Nelson's bold thesis is that the development of states in East Asia--China, Japan, Korea--was an outgrowth of the leadership in smaller communities guided by shamans. Using a mixture of historical documents, mythology, archaeological data, and ethnographic studies of contemporary shamans, she builds a case for shamans being the driving force behind the blossoming of complex societies. More interesting, shamans in East Asia are generally women, who used their access to the spirit world to take leadership roles. This work challenges traditional interpretations growth of Asian...

Shamanism, hypnosis, imaginal psychotherapies, and meditation are based on the use of what we in the modern western world think of as non-ordinary human consciousness. These four modalities have fundamental similarities and differences in purpose, theory, technique, type of alternative consciousness, and their application of non-ordinary reality. Shamanism, the oldest and most intertwined with the cultures in which it is practiced, will be explored as a model for individual healing and transformation and professional training. The shamanic way will also be explored as a model of consciousness...
