I hadn't seen the video, but don't mess with shamanic arts. If someone will check out the photos in my last thread, "the smoking gun of wa. occultism", they would see Hillary Clinton recieving healing from a shaman.

Terence was an avid user of shamanic psychodelic drugs... IMO, that was his problem. But I have never used any such things and never would nor would I recommend others do as I have seen first hand what those things do to people when they take them.

None the less it is not Terence's shortcomings that I'm intrested in but rather is thoughts on things in life... when he's not on drugs of course. He is quite an astonishingly smart individual that for some reason had a need or want for toxins to make it through the night I suppose... personally I prefer a hot woman for that.  They can be even more intoxicating if placed in the right frame of mind at the right time.. that too I know first hand.:big grin:  In the end he died of a brain tumor if that's of any consolation to anyone.  But his raw intellect was absolutly breathtaking... freakish IMO.

It is soley for his intellect that I posted it GB... nothing else. He is not on psychodelics in that video. He's very somber and talking to a large audience.

Worth a listen to IMO... but if you feel otherwise for whatever reason becasue of his association to Shamanic practices then you may be better not viewing it... up to you.:)

Get Boldened, would you please provide a link to the post you mention?  I was unable to find it and I'm curious about your prejudice against shamans.

Here it is GB...

Thank you AndrewX.

GB, I am still totally confused by your post.  Are you somehow linking satanism and shamanism?  I see 5 pictures of Satanism, 2 pictures of I'm not sure, and 1 picture of what appears to be a shaman.  When I look at the shaman picture, it appears to me that he is trying to treat Hilary.

Shamanism and Satanism are very different practices.  I have never heard of any form of Shamanism that worships Satan or anything on the "evil" side.  Actually, I have never heard of any group that worships Satan except for Satan worshippers.  I don't think that Satan is worshipped by Wiccans, Witches, New Age People, Shamans, Reiki Masters, Muslims, Buddhists, Janists, Hindus, Hasidim or any other group except for Satan Worshippers.

It is my understanding that since the concept of Satan is rooted within Christianity, that Satanism is a perversion of Christianity; therefore, Satan has never been in the development of any other religion or spiritual practice that has not been developed from Christianity.  Hopefully, others will correct me if my summary is too brief or incorrect.

  Shamans Can and Do use the lower Astral, this does not make them Satanic, However there have been Shamans to use Astral Entities for their nasty bidding.  But this is not always the method they use.  Shamans Can be over taken by their Lower Astral Entities and can and will be used by them.  However there are many who might call themselves Shamans but are inexperienced and its just a title they use.  Not all Shamans use the Lower Astral.  And there are experienced and balanced Shamans that pass the test of the lower Astral and not lured into the lower end of Shamanism.   This can be said of any "spriritual" endevear what ever they are called!

  Just my rantings on Shamans :)   And not really about above posts!
