The American Shaman’s Journey to Spiritual Emergence Through Contact with Beings From An Unseen World

Abstract

There are many different roads that lead us to spiritual transformation. The road I took was off the beaten path. I will present my own journey of spiritual emergence through lifelong contact with beings that seem to come from non-ordinary reality or the invisible realm that exists around us. I will describe my ontological struggle to grasp what was happening to me, as I was dragged, sometimes screaming, into their realm of the unseen. My story has evolved like a modern shamanic initiation, which facilitated a shift in my consciousness and the way I perceive the world. I have learned how to integrate these two realities to become whole again. It is this journey to wholeness and integration that I believe holds many of the keys to our evolution as a species. My journeys ultimately led me to a spiritual awakening and an opening of consciousness that has given me entry into an unseen world that is teeming with life. Please join me as I discuss my evolution through fear, shock, denial, acceptance and finally integration, which ultimately lead to my spiritual transformation.
