Shamanic Existences



This entry, might be useful, to those, who probably, having read, everything else, on, Americanista blog, still find themselves, looking out, of their windows, and despite all that has been said, find themselves, thinking, 'We have gone, too far, with this, modernity project'. The false belief, that the world, outside them, is largely, unchangeable, due mainly, to the fact, that, they actually, heavily depend, on, Modernity, for survival.

The whole goal, of this entry, is to provide, examples, of what, one could refer to, as, 'Survival Identities'. Identities really, that will, in many ways, make them, have, a broader view, of, their worlds, such that, they can easily, see, the ills, associated heavily, with, modern worlds.

To explain this much better, is to say, that, the Modern World, is one, heavily based on, 'Science & Technology'. That there exists, all these, modern, technology really, that most, don't know, what to do with, or even, the rather false belief, that, these modern existences, equal, those, of the past [due, to, delusional thinking, arising mainly, due to being, heavily dependent, on, modern existences] [No electricity, and some, even go, mad]. To explain this better, is to explain, to the masses, out there, what exactly, constitutes, Western 'Civilization'. That while, many deem it, to stem from, Egyptian, Greek, or even, Islamic/Byzantine Civilizations, the truth is that, the rise (and creation), of, Western 'Civilization', has in many ways, been driven, not by, 'Science & Technology' [as believedly, based on Philosophic Thought], as many believe really too, but actually, by the rise [in importance], of, the Visual Arts [that in all, Modernity, in its very self, is, a creation, of, the Visual Arts, and could not, have been, envisioned, by any, other, Philosophy, Science, or even Art, out there]. For those too, lacking a good grounding (and understanding), in, Philosophy, Science and Art, is to also, be aware, that, the Visual Arts, are some, of, the poorest, forms, of Art out there [that in many ways, in many Civilizations, they have been used, for, general/intermediate, problem solving (a good example, being, the Programming world, and the use, of, Visual Basic; a rather, influential, programming language, than most, believe it, to be)].

The bigger problem, with the Visual Arts & Modernity [as with technology based gadgets really] [most cars today, are actually, large gadgets too really], is the kind, of life, it creates, for all. Lives really, that in all, are, Prisons of a kind, in that, they use 'Science & Technology', to base, their lives, as compared to, using, what, they refer to, as, 'Culture'; that in all, to understand this better, is to know, that, 'Science & Technology', as a valid means, of, existential expression, is not too different, from, the Stone Age periods [with 'Science & Technology', having gained, favourable ground (above the Stone Age), due to what, they refer to, as, Material Sciences]. In many ways too, the very death, of, Culture, means too, the very death, of, Human Self-Expression, with the end result, being, a dearth, in, Creativity, and our living, in, a World, where we are becoming, slowly extinct, as the world, 'Science & Technology', has created, is not, only destructive, by nature (of ourselves & nature) [of ourselves, as with, creativity, and even, self-expression, of any kind] [In many ways, in a gadget filled world, we find that, gadgets (in all) in most ways too, limit, all forms, of, creativity, and self-expression] [One even finds too, that, the Stone-Age Eras, had, Humans, using, Tools (which encouraged, creativity, and, self-expression), as compared, to, Gadgets (which limit these)]. In all really, a Gadget filled world, in most ways, has killed off, Culture, and as it is very well known, that, Culture (in all), being the basic, Evolution based Environment, Humans, engage in, means that, its death, is slowly, leading, to the death, of Humans (everywhere, out there) [as with extinction really].

As a reminder, Western 'Civilization', is nothing more, than Visual Arts, and to recognize its decline, is to know, that African Visual Arts (and not Bantu really), today, are highly influential, in driving, Western 'Civilization', ahead [As mentioned before, Visual Arts, are highly associated, with, the search today, for, sex, popularity, and, security in all] [Thats the World, today, in a nutshell: sex, popularity, and security].

What is proposed here, is a Knowledge, of, ancient really, Existential forms, that existed, and worked suitable, way before, Humans, started uttering, the word, 'Egypt'. Shamanic Existences really, that actually, can be developed, to a rather, high level perhaps, and understanding this, is based on, knowing that, 'Science & Technology' [in limited form], can be used, as a basis, for, these Existences. The end goal, is to not only, make, many out there, who feel, trapped, by the, mindless, Gadget filled, Existences, seen out there today, know, that they can, live life, differently [as with, gaining Inner Peace really - Happiness, Joy, Satisfaction etc.], but also too, in many ways, begin, limiting, the very existence, of, Modern Technology, as a, Technology really, that does, nothing much, for, Human Advancement, in most ways [despite, all the Technology Advances, made out there (as said indicators, of human progress), Einsteins Theories of Relativity, still remain, the most, though provoking, Intellectual based works (as with their true impact, on humanity), seen, in, the last, 100 years].

Five of these, Shamanic Identities, will be presented, below, and a further explanation, on, making them real easily, presented too, as based, on, 'Science & Technology'.

1. Landmass existences
2. land existences
3. country existences
4. Intercontinental existences
5. Global existences

In many ways, Existences too, that can be used, to track, Human Migratory patterns, in the, very, olden days, as with, how, they actually, survived.

Landmass Existences:

Landmass existences, lie truly, with identifying, with, a Landmass, as ones, true home [and not, with, Country, or State even]. In many ways, they are Existences, highly influenced, by, Animal Spirits, in, helping, shape, ones, Subconscious Mind [as mainly, with, Knowledge Access, all forms of Relationships, and finally too, daily Routines]. In most ways, Landmass Existences, are highly based on, 'Ritualism & Self-Culture' [as seen, in, the Ritualism entry]. To understand these Existences better, is to perhaps, provide, a, 'Science & Technology', basis, to them, by showing/explaining perhaps, how, 'Personal transport', 'Email/Messaging systems', and, 'Personal culture' (as based really, on, Relaxation, and what too, they call, Developments), is actually, in many ways, the very basis, of, Shamanic Landmass Existences [as with, modeling really, Animal daily existences]. That the three above 'modus operandi' [a way of life, seen even, today, popularly (as with, a private detective perhaps)], actually, constitutes, of Shamanic Landmass Existences, heavily modeled, on, Animal Spirits [and Animal life forms (daily existences), too, in all].

land Existences:

When we speak, of land, we are really, speaking, of, Regions, such as, North America, or even, Africa too. In many ways, an Existence, based on, the land, is one, heavily based on, Traditions [as with, Customs, Law, Beliefs & Practices]. That these, are in all, land/Region based, and one can, in all too, formulate, a way of living, based on, traveling around, and engaging, in, these Traditions, wherever, they may be, seen, on a, land/Region. America, as with the movies really, has been, a famed land, in many ways, where, many believe, they can, easily, jump onto, a plane, fly across the land, and wind up, in, a strange city, knocking, on the door, of, a stranger, who then follows in all, by, offering one, accommodation, and even, dinner in suit [all, as a Custom really]. Formulating life, on the land, can be based, on, the following, 'Science & Technology': 'Air transport', 'Cellular Communication', and finally, 'Vehicular/Public transport'. That these three, and a good grasp, of, land/Region based Traditions, is all, thats needed, to survive, in, a land.

country Existences:

country, in many ways, is a denominator, for what, some call, Social Customs [and differing, from, Tradition based Customs, in that, Social Customs, can be, rather, highly Individual, in, nature (and scope too)]. In many ways too, America, has been, a rather, famed country, for, Internationals, as with, an immigrant/stranger too, showing up, in, America, being offered, accommodation, being shown around, and even, offered too, some work [employment really & part time often too], and all, based on, the, individual, having in many ways, a gregarious, and engaging, Personality in all [America, as a country, where one, can get, a 'girlfriend', within hours, of landing, at, LaGuardia Airport perhaps] [All based too, on, high personality]. In many ways, a way of existence, that can, be based around, Internet Forums, Internet Chat/SMS, and even, Internet Media [as with, advertisements perhaps]. In many ways too, a culture of sharing [and not dependent, on, too much money], as its an existence, highly based, on, the 'cult of Personalty'.

Intercontinental Existences:

Intercontinental Existences, are actually, those based, on, World History [as with, Helplessness really], and in many ways, are, Existences, rather, Socialist in nature. Socialist in that, they are, based on, Work Identities, as with, migratory patterns, based on, workforces, who engage really, in, Creative Problem solving [and not, just, work in all]. In many ways, existences (or even lifestyles), as those, associated, with, the Gypsies of old, who moved, around, helping solve, all forms, of, Psycho-Sexual, problems, groups faced. In many ways, existences (lifestyles too), based around, the Watch, 'News Reporting' [and not, News Media really, as perhaps for example, with, Reuters], and finally, 'Consumer Services' [in many ways, services associated, with, money issues]. In all, what, Socialism, is manly, really, all about.

Global Existences:

Global Existences, refers really, to, the living around, certain forms, of, durable materiality, as with, creating, Community, around them [as with, owning, a rather, good, hardy, and durable, jacket, that one, does not, mind, lending out, to others, for use in all]. In many ways, existences, based on, creating, Community (as a Global construct really), as with, doing simple work, but traveling, around, to live, in, other, such Communities. In all really, what, Communism, is really, supposed, to be, all about. This way of living [as with, 'Science & Technology' really], is supported, by, three main things: Plastics (the use, of plastics, in making, just about, anything), Entertainment media (which in all, is actually, cheap entertainment), and finally, Social Networks [the most, interesting, offshoot, of, Modernity, as Social Networks, are highly, based around, creating, all forms, of, cultural associations, which can be, highly divisive, in nature (when not, understood, well enough, as they, truly, really work best, in, Communist Societies)] [To understand all this better, is to know, that, not only, are, Social Networks, outmoded in all, but they were, infact, in olden times too (biblical), replaced, by what, they call, Decency (as regulating, all forms, of, human interactions)].


The above, do represent, the basic, five, Shamanic Existences, that, despite, their simplicity, can actually, be developed, to, higher levels, than most, do foresee. Landmass Existences for example, speak of, people, who are, in all, Creative Muses, and coming up, with, all forms, of, Creative ideas, to improve, life, in all, its ways (and meanings) [in many ways, the lives, of, some Billionaires, like, Warren Buffet, are actually too, based on, Landmass Existences] [To understand this better, is to know, that, basing ones life, around, Animal Spirits & Ritualism, results, in one, being, rather, clear minded (and not, conditioned, in any way), as with seeing, the obvious, in all (and everything too)]. 'land Existences', can be taken, to higher levels, as with, improving largely, on, ones, Trades, Skills, and Expertise (and including too in all, Engineering), as what, they call, Firms, can be, of great use, in hiring, 'traveling help' [as with, Trades, Skills, or Expertise even really]. 'country Existences', might appear, to be, troublesome to some [as with, Judeo-Christian beliefs, and, immorality (cultural) issues too], but one finds, that, Existences, can easily be, based on, 'Cultural Ethnography' [as mainly, with, Orality, Information Networks, and Studies too], and can lead, to, rather, highly profitable, existences. Intercontinental Existences, on a high level, approximate, State Dignitary existences, as they are, Existences really, associated with, 'the Ecumenical', as with, being, a Teacher, Leader, Warrior, Healer etc. [of Psycho-Sexual issues really]. Global Existences, as with, Communism (done right) really, in their highest forms, exist, mainly, as with, living, within, a, Communal System, such as, the, University System [as with, Stanford University, and other, such, Private Universities too].


In all, what is been said here too really, is that, the above, 5 Existences/Identities, should be, at the basis, of, most, traveling and mixing, between peoples, of all kinds. This is because, we live, in, a world, where most, believe, the above, 5, to be, of great importance (as with survival & social engagements), but in reality, are, a waste of time, as with, Culture & Evolution [in that, nothing much, has happened, in, the last, 100 years, of human history]. We are here, to evolve, into, the higher realms, and while really, the above 5, Existences/Identities, do in all, do this, they are actually, Solitary existences, in all really[although today, existing, as Group existences, due mainly, to the influence (surprisingly enough), of Niger (Kanem-Bornu) Civilization]. In many ways too, it is deemed observable, that, the prevalence, of Culture & Civilization, as with Existences really, will reduce, the vast majority, of problems, seen today, and that in all, there is, absolutely no, need, for most, transnational transport & communication, as in most ways really, an African, does not, really, have, any business, being, in Europe, due mainly, to the rather, large, Cultural differences, unless, of course, they having to do, with, Landmass Existences [To make this even clearer, Culture, replaced, Social Engagements/Networks, as with in all, having, a surprising, story, to tell, of, a stranger, one met perhaps] [Religion, as with Civilization, is also deemed, at the very heart, of all, forms, of survival (problem solving); Only Islam, as an example, can make, living, in desert, conditions, possible].

Below too in all, are presented, 5, films really, that, can help, expound, on, the above, 5 Existences, in, a manner, deemed, mainly inspirational:

1. Landmass Existences: Sherlock Holmes (2009) - Private Detective (Subconscious routines), Gnostic Traditions (as Ritualism), and the Crow (as Animal Spirit).
2. land Existences: Invictus (South African & based mainly, on, Traditions/Law); Another memorable look perhaps, is, 'The Way of the Peaceful Warrior' by Dan Millman, and in most ways, a good look, at, 'land Existences', in America though, really (and reads too, like a movie really).
3. country Existences: Hitch (Will Smith), and Social Customs, as based, mainly on, Information Networks.
4. Intercontinental Existences: Amadeus (1984) - in many ways, presents, Mozart, as a Healer really, and in all, how, a Socialist Nation, works (as with, a place, with, little money, and novelty too, with regards, to, Consumer Services).
5. Global Existences: Million Dollar Baby - living, in many ways, as a professional boxer, within, what one could call, the, Boxing Community.
