DWQA QuestionsCategory: Channeling PitfallsA viewer asks: “I would like to understand your view on Shamanism and in particular those who work with sacred plant medicine in ceremonies. They travel between worlds and do they see and cleanse the demons/parasites within us. Shamans see the spirits as ruling Mother Earth? Are we all born with the shamanic gift?”

Your compound question represents a kind of historical way-station on the way to human consciousness reaching a fuller enlightenment. Indeed, all are born with some potential for sensing and working with energies beyond the physical, some much more than others. But there must be more than just perception via an intuitive reach. There must be enough awareness to identify what is out of alignment and why what needs fixing, and then how to go about it in a way that can be effective. This shamanic tradition has evolved over a long period of human history by sharing knowledge, and this does help people get a better start. They can capitalize on what others have done and learned about realms beyond the physical and how to navigate and perhaps change some kinds of negativity for the better. The problem is there are many traditions, many narratives, many spokespersons, many would-be gurus with an explanation or at least a partial explanation of something that could be useful knowledge. So this is a kind of touchstone, a representation of a work in progress that validates the importance of phenomena beyond the physical, and that the human mind can navigate other planes of existence using nonlocal consciousness. But, as is often the case, the devil is in the details. Will the shaman understand deeply enough what they are doing to explore such phenomena and apply energy in an intelligent fashion to truly change things for the better? The shamanic journeys assisted with plant substances will open the door for many to deeper seeing and that kind of expansion can be a life-altering experience. But the problem then becomes, what does one do with that greater reach for one's awareness? Will there be enough actual meaningful and precise knowledge of why things are the way they are and what to do about sources of negativity to bring about a true, long-lasting, healing? Your channel has asked us many questions about such matters and heard many examples of individuals getting into serious difficulty by not appreciating they are taking a risk in opening their minds more widely to explore things beyond the body. Many have been corrupted and injured irretrievably by a spirit possession and manipulation. That is a high price to pay for simply wanting to experience unseen realms and develop greater powers of the mind. Compared to what can be done through the Lightworker Healing Protocol and Deep Subconscious Memory Reset, we see taking a shamanic path is more a step backward toward something less powerful and less useful, despite the fact it might create a more powerful personal experience through seeing and feeling the paranormal more directly, when that is not essential if one is making the right requests in a divine partnership.
