Emerald Vang - Week 4
This week, I related to the reading, "We Are Not Alone." This reading went over the concept of finding answers through Shamanism. Science is not the only answer to solve problems. In today's day and age, people are more open to the idea of the spirit realm and I, too, suggest the use of shamanism for healing. Also, science can only do so much. There are situations where scientific procedures would not work. For example, illness from attached spirits. Because spirits are out of the scientific beliefs, scientific healing would not do much. I know this because it has happened to my dad before. The reading also claims that diseases are from the "loss of connection to the spirits of nature." Now that we have the virus, I believe in this. The special guest Osvaldo believed the virus to be a pandemic sent as a message from the spirits, telling the world that we need to help one another. My take on this pandemic is a warning from the spirits about the way we are destroying the Earth and destroying our own relations with others. Since the start of the virus, there have been a lot of positive changes nature-wise and some positive changes human-wise. I have seen acts of kindness to those who are in need of it and there has been a strong ethnic bond from this virus. I hope that shamanism will continue to resolve what science cannot and that the Earth and us along with it may keep these good changes after the virus is long gone.
Question: Do you think shamanism will become a way of healing just as acupuncture and chiropractic have? And if so, how long do you think until it is truly considered, by many, as a way of healing?
