Do you ever think that something is wrong when you consider your everyday life? So many people do. Whether it's frustration with our work, a general sense of tension, or a persistent pain that won't go away, the outcome isn't different. We feel stuck and dissatisfied. We frequently attempt to find comfort in material products and retail therapy with an increasing sense of anxiety. However, this overview will lead you in a stronger direction to self-fulfillment. You will discover the origins of shamanism and explore what can be done for your welfare through this ancient spiritual practice. While you are reading, you will learn what keeps you back in the world and obtain the answers to reaching your maximum capabilities. You will find your way out of the dark and into the brightness of peace and fulfillment, empowered with valuable ideas and practical suggestions. Chapter 1 - The matrix leads you during the pathway of a meaningless existence. Perhaps you think that you know what a great life seems like. Maybe you believe it includes a respectable degree, a well-paying career, and a family home mortgage. But is the road to happiness always this typical way of living? Delve deeply, and you could see that you were brainwashed to believe that you think right. This may sound upsetting, but it's the reality that Shaman Durek believes. You have been fooled into willing these things for your whole life by a system that Durek calls the matrix. The matrix is a collection of rules and guidelines that leads our lives undetectably. Although it’s power on us, almost no one doubt about it. The matrix holds us from school to university, to the workplace, to the graveyard, on a direct and narrow road. But the thing matrix does is not only keeping us going forward but also keeping us in boxes - boxes of tags such as race, sexuality, and religion. The matrix says that we all must stay with individuals who are just like us inside our boxes. That suggests never hiking out and discovering the rich diversity that is intrinsic in humankind and all the numerous options the universe has to offer. Unfortunately, by drugging us, the matrix keeps us on this boring loop of life. It drugs us with fast food that makes us ill and with medicines that make us forget our suffering. Most of us are not happy with the matrix's everyday race. We're looking forward to the satisfaction that we are not able to get from alcohol, caffeine, or food. Then why didn't we ruin the matrix and begin to live happier, truly free lives? Because the matrix, sadly, is strong. It is a weapon of darkness. Darkness includes everything in the world that is not associated with love, according to Shaman Durek. The darkness affects people and creates conflict and loneliness. It lets us see everything in black and white. We begin thinking about things as right or wrong, with nothing in between. We also think of people as good or evil, and unfortunately, war and tragedy generally follow when that happens. We fight against each other instead of working together to break the matrix. However, we can get rid of the matrix. We'll discuss shamanism in the following sections to learn how to free ourselves. Chapter 2 - Shamans are capable of communicating with spirits. Seeing, it is sometimes said, is believing. It has to have a physical appearance for anything to exist. What if everything you know about the laws of reality is wrong? Amazingly, shamans persistently experience something that does not exist in the three dimensions we see. Shamanism is an old practice that tells us that more than meets the eye, we are surrounded by things more than we see. Shamans assume that in the universe there are limitless levels, reaching beyond the three dimensions that we usually speak of. There are also limitless vibrational powers surrounding us, according to shamanism. We may learn to interpret these extra dimensions and powers with the correct coaching and instruments. Shamans claim that everything on Earth - not only humans but also things like trees and stones- has a life force, energy, and spirit. It might sound unbelievable, however, shamans learn from spirits and they believe that each life force has its intellect. For example, let's think about a large tree. Of course, you're not going to be able to share great literary works with it, but it doesn't change the fact that it has the wisdom to share with you. Because it has grown larger and tall with time and has strong roots. There have been shamans for as long as there were human beings. Traditionally, for the benefit of their tribe, they interacted with spirits. To regain peace and health, even now, when somebody or something gets out of balance and needs healing, shamans communicate with the spirits. Multiple shamans deal with various kinds of spirits with different techniques. For instance, water shamans in Indonesia only connect with water spirits. Also, there are plant and animal shamans, most of whom sense spirits through consuming hallucinogenic compounds derived from animals and plants. The author is a spirit shaman. That means that, since he is accompanied by spirits always, he doesn't need water or any material to connect him with the spirit world. Spirit shamans function as tubes that spirits can pass. The author could channel the spirit of a Tibetan monk or an African tribal leader in his sessions. When these spirits inhabit his body, he can speak in languages or tongues that he doesn't know. Shamanism can help us to escape from the matrix that governs our lives, as you will explore in the next chapter. Chapter 3 - Move beyond the matrix to find your inner self. So often, we allow the matrix to determine our wishes for us. We're going to let it tell us we want fancy cars, big homes, strong social prestige. The matrix, through an alluring marketing scheme known as high glamour, convinces us of these superficial fantasies. High glamour holds us in a state of constant desire for material things. It's all from the fashion business that makes us feel unattractive to the entertainment business and social media that holds us fascinated with famous people. What is the way of liberating yourself from the relentless loop of materialism and attraction of the matrix? You will concentrate on taking action and escaping the limitations of the matrix when you realize who you are and what you need. Unfortunately, it is tougher than it seems, because the high glamour made everyone's desires weak. We are easily fooled by our objectives and captivated by the glam of consumer culture. However, there is a way to deepen your will. It is the shamanistic technique called the fire screeing. African shamans claim that fire improves our vision, so you can develop a sense of awareness and commitment to your true self and your true desires through fire screeing. What you need are five candles, a clock, and a darkened room to practice this method. Sit in the middle of the room and place four of the candles around you in a circle, one on the compass for every direction. Put the fifth candle in front of you and light up all five candles and set your alarm for five minutes. Then, you should stare straight into the burning fire in front of you. When you are watching the flame dance, keep a particular thought in your mind. There is no limit to this thought. You may think about the person you are in love with or your ideal career. Keep staring at the flame and having this thought on your mind for the entire time. The thought is a sign of your dedication to your authentic self and your gaze is a sign of your loyalty. The flame inside of you is nurtured by fire screening and allows you to see much more easily. It's an effective way to learn reality with yourself and get rid of the matrix. Chapter 4 - Time is not rectilineal and accomplishment is never out of the way. If you want to leave the matrix, knowing your true self is important, but it's not the only tool you'll use. You'll have to arm yourself with plenty of completely new values as well. Primarily, how you perceive working hard and achievements will have to change. So let's check in with a conviction that you probably have before we discuss these new values. If you're similar to most people, you are most likely to believe it would take considerable time and dedication to fulfill your goals. You believe that it will be in the long future if your wishes do happen after you've "paid your dues" and struggled in search of them. But it is a conviction that you should get rid of. The unbelievable reality is that all humans are born with unlimited quantities of imaginative power and ability. This implies that it does not have to be hard or take a very long time to build a real, fulfilled life. You can enjoy a life of achievement at the moment. You don't need to wait for the future to come. The future, in reality, is already happening. It might sound weird, but shamans don't think the time is linear. Rather, they claim that the present, the future, and the past all exist together and the future is continually changing due to the decisions you make in each current moment. You should use this nonlinear perception of time to accomplish your goals earlier instead of later. Changing the tense that you think about your dreams is one of the easiest strategies for success. Speak about it like it's already happening, rather than asking yourself what will you do or what you think will happen. For instance, instead of saying to yourself, "My book will be published and read by thousands," you might say, "My book is published and read by thousands of people."
