my philosophies are surfacing and record of them feels necessary
I agree with the statement "we are the life force of the universe"
I agree that the subconscious world is just as important as the conscious/shared world, but that our subconscious worlds have some sort of shared notion.
I don't know what that notion is.

See, my obsession with Shamans stems from my belief, assumption, that their idea of the "Spirit world" is just what I am referring to as the "subconscious world". I think that the subconscious is the extra details, information, we have absorbed radiating off of our memories and ideas. This is our gut feelings, our ability to be attracted to others, why dreams seem to prepare us for things and how we know who is coming up the stairs, who is standing behind us, who we need to contact. This is why buildings with unsteady foundations and vibrating pipes give us the heebie jeebies.
My issue with Shamans is the abstraction, religious aspect, "gods" and other trunkjunk that society has taught me is unnecessary and delusional. In today's world, meditating/yoga seems to be taking the place of church. These breathing exercises, internal thinking time, "relaxing" are allowing our brains to rest and communicate more than just our conscious self's opinion. We really do trust our subconscious by sleeping on important decisions and having positive attitudes and going with our gut.
