The Shamanizing of Humanity

I hope you’ve had a chance to read the summary of Kenneth Ring’s The Omega Project, prepared by Quentin Benson, and appearing in the latest issue of intuitive-connections.net. You can find it at http://www.intuitive-connections.net/2008/b00k-omegaproject.htm

There are at least three important books that outline “the shamanizing of humanity,” as described in this book. The other two are Passport to the Cosmos, by John Mack, and The Final Choice, by Michael Grosso. There could be others. Ring’s and Mack’s books are the result of enormous scientific research. They all point in the same direction, that being labeled “the shamanizing of humanity.”

Ring studied both UFO encounters and Near Death Experiences. From the summary: “Despite the obvious differences between the UFOE and NDE, Dr. Ring declares that at a deeper level, there is a common link between these extraordinary encounters—the archetypal structure of both experiences. As the UFOE takes the general form of the Hero's Journey, so does the NDE. The domains of the two experiences are quite different, yet both NDE and CE4s appear to represent the Initiatory Journey.”

“Both NDErs and UFOrs enter a non-ordinary reality where they undergo an initiatory ordeal after which they return to their "real" life, but in some way transformed by their experience. Both NDEs and CE4s have the same structure and contain the same factors. The personal changes that occur after NDEs and UFOEs are permanent in other words. In Dr. Ring's own words, ‘Extraordinary encounters appear to be the gateway to a radical, biologically based transformation of the human personality.’"

Ring’s book concludes by referencing the little known work on the “imagination” as a dimension of reality, a “supersensible” dimension known intuitively or psychically, rather than with the senses. He argues that the changes coming have to do with this dimension becoming more “real” in our lives. That idea echoes Terrance McKenna, who in his book, Archaic Revival, predicts, without any evidence from the research above, that we are moving into the realm of the imagination. What that might mean for life on our planet is a fascinating subject which I intend to explore more.

We have the books, Passport to the Cosmos scheduled for summarizing by Connie Livingston Dunn, and The Final Choice scheduled for summarizing by Andrea Rumpsza. I’m looking for someone to summarize McKenna’s Archaic Revival. There could be other books along this line, which I hope to find, and if you have any suggestions, let me know. The above books are very high quality, grounded material for such mind-blowing topics.
