"Communication with the spirit realm through dreams or visions is a commonplace fact of archaic and indigenous cultures around the world. It is only in the "rational" West that we refute the possibility of such contact--blocked by our blind faith in materialism. The shamans of the Trahumara Indians told Antonin Artaud that the Whites had been abandoned by the spirits. Perhaps we are only abandoned because we push the spirits away." ~~'Breaking Open The Head', Daniel Pinchbeck, ~~Book Quote (Pg. 100)
