Week 4- Vivianne Lee

      This week's article describes the importance of incorporating Shamanic practices in the Western educational curriculum. Shamans of the world pushes for the Western culture to expand their vision to seek non-scientific alternatives to make a difference. With Western medicine taking control and limiting other paths to knowledge, it is important to embrace and acknowledge Shamanism, who dispel the illusion that “all is fixed and orderly and controllable” (Collective Evolution, 11). The Shamans are the one that make life possible and gives it meaning. Unlike the Western culture that discriminates and judges people of illness, Shamans treat all humans the same way. They believe humanity is essentially one spirit formed from billions of spirits. I myself are influenced heavily by the Western culture and its idea of Science and how Science is the solution to everything, but reading this article made me realize how influential Shamans can be to fix and heal people. It also made me realize how close minded the Western culture is and the importance of spreading the works of the Shamans and the alternatives to medicine.
