Thanks for your participation in this participle river of thought streaming.

I dig the tao of Yoh. he almost seems lazy and unconcerned but in a way it displays his mastery of Wu Wei i.e. Non doing.

Monty/Morty is this high strung individual/kid that is glimpsing the other world and trying to bridge the corpus callosum of his intellect and intuition. Its amusing to watch. It also may be a case of yoh being the right brain manifest and morty being the left brain manifest…but that is still to be unfolded. 

One of my most profound experiences with an alchemical formulation named pluto:consisting of herbs and i suspect mono atomics: plunged me into deep research at the public library one long day……deep into dna lineage and unearthed a lot of information that i was able to harness and accept whereas much of my youth was spent rejecting, blaming and cursing that aspect of my DNA. I'm so glad i got out of that limited damaged state of consciousness because i know now that i am my ancestors in many ways and they do redeem themselves through me and in some cases as me. i traced myself to scottish highlanders and even vikings….there are many 'lines' to trace when delving into ones bloodline. I think an important component to watch for is the ability to unite with these greater forces that exist on other planes without loosing the sense of self or becoming prey to 'their' campaigns. essentially being in control of these other energies akin to the brain or mind being the mastermind of the body rather than the bodes coarse energy bullying the mind into submission.

i think shamans are born in consciousness and not necessarily direct lineage. Sure the commonalities of traits and demeanor can lead one to emulate their forefathers and even adopt their ways and rites but not as a mandatory determining factor. Altho if we really wanna be exact, the shaman is a state of mind…therefore a ballet dancer may be a shaman…just in a exotic form rather than the bone necklace and face paint.   I found yoh Asakura to also express the Tao of Rastafari and its quite fitting he seems to be blissed out a lot of times listening to reggae dub beats whenever we find him relaxing under the headphones.

Ah this is delightfully entertaining. Thank you again my child self is injoying this and I am sure many other children would as well.

'Only through a Shaman can 1 connect with the spirit world.' When my grandfather, Arthur, came to me from the 'grave' it took a bit of nudging for me to pay attention but I would say the alternative could be considered as well meaning it is through a shaman that the spirit world may contact/inform the living the interest can go both ways.  My grandfather taught me some interesting things including vision of how to heal DNA lineage. So. Are shamans born or can anyone be taught? Does the gift pass on through heritage? I have theories it is something to ponder.

I connected with the initial lesson that the guardian ghost assisted Yoh when they had a common cause, something related to the sacred ground the hooligans were calling theirs. When the two unite 'Spirit.Form.Unity' Yoh says it is something like a peaceful pond mixed with a hurricane. The pair subsequently will learn when to be still and when to act. Yet tread lightly against others.  Again. Know when to act.

Sword of light cuts through darkness in the animation said to hold part of the soul of the maker/wielder. Human form can be seen to embody sword form in the core to be projected I have also noticed etheric throwing daggers but will deny using them if anyone asks :) For all is self. True warriors never wish to harm anyone or anything but will defend the earth/etc.  if called to do so.

In communing with spirits/ghosts the shaman can discover truths through history relevant to the now but possibly hidden by various forces. Also look within DNA for these codes.

Historic reign of 'kings' asking subjects to do such a thing as requiring one to murder a friend for nefarious purposes etc. causes sorrow but I digress......you said we 'won' right?

In creating the sword of light seeking towards perfection caused a delay in the plan of no harm and escaping the king's evil. Bloodshed ensued. Sometimes thinking too much will cripple one on the path.

Look forward to the next episode also almost finished with Chpt. 1 of way of the shaman.
