The archetypal figure of the shaman is the primordial medicine person
and carrier of healing.
The figure of the shaman (arche)typically takes on the illness
that is in the community into themselves and literally becomes sick,
as if they have “caught” the disease of who they are trying to heal.
This process can become animated through the choice
of a seasoned shaman,
or it can happen spontaneously and unintentionally
in a budding shaman who is unusually sensitive
to the underlying contradictions and spiritual illness
that pervade the social and cultural fabric
which connects us and in which we are embedded.
A fully cooked shaman,
in internalizing the illness in the field,
allows the sickness to fluidly move through them
without getting stuck in them,
which is the mark that distinguishes
an accomplished shaman from a novice.
http://www.awakeninthedream.com/we-are-all-shamans-in-training/
what has gotten triggered in them, however,
the shaman is able to heal themselves
and in so doing non-locally sends healing to the whole “community.”
In our current moment in time,
as interdependent members of an ever-more interconnected global village,
our “community” is the entire planet.
The shaman is operating in the realm of the collective unconscious,
a “no-place” where information travels in “no-time,”
faster than the speed of light.
There is no part of the universe that is separate from the whole,
which is to say that a change in any part of the universe
is resonantly registered in no time whatsoever throughout the whole universe.
Though the healing effects of the shaman’s process manifests “over time,”
the shaman’s self-healing,
transcending the seeming limitations of space and time,
instantaneously insinuates its in-form-ation
and informing influence faster than the twinkling of an eye
throughout the entire universe in
ways that can only be imagined.
If we put too much pressure on a bone and the bone breaks,
the bone is not pathological.
Paradoxically, trauma is a form of madness which is an expression of sanity.
“Shock” is our healthy response to experiencing an event that is awe-full.
The shamanic archetype becomes catalyzed in us
by a severe emotional and spiritual crisis,
oftentimes organically growing out of unresolved abuse issues from childhood –
--this was certainly true for me.
There is an intimate correlation between being traumatized, abused, and wounded,
and having a shamanic initiation/spiritual awakening.
Trauma is an experience that is overwhelming to the ego,
in that it can’t be assimilated by the ego in the typical way.
The trauma initiates and catalyzes the deeper process
of the archetype of the shaman
to begin to form-ulate and crystallize itself
in the unconscious of the future shaman.
This precipitates a deeper part of the psyche to become mobilized,
as the shaman journeys deep inside themselves,
flying on the wings of their creative imagination
to address and become acquainted
with what has gotten activated within them.
The shaman’s descent into the darkness can be agonizing, a veritable crucifixion.
Part of the (arche)typical shamanic experience is to become dis-membered,
which is a cooking and smelting of psychic contents
that have become rigidified, ossified,
and have outlived their usefulness.
To quote Jung,
“The shaman’s experience of sickness, torture, death and regeneration implies,
at a higher level,
the idea of being made whole through sacrifice,
of being changed by transubstantiation and exalted to the pneumatic man –
in a word, apotheosis (elevated from an ordinary person to a “God”).”
The goal of the shaman’s death and dismemberment experience
is to “re-member” themselves,
which like true soul retrieval,
brings all of their dissociated parts back together
into a more integrated synthesis.
an accomplished shaman can embody and incarnate
in crystallized form the unconscious madness in the field
so that it becomes clarified and brought into consciousness.
A shaman can reflect back the madness to the madness itself
by taking over the madness and allowing themselves to creatively express it
such that it is revealed in a new light.
From the point of view of the collective madness in the field,
when the would-be shaman acts out the madness that is in the field,
the would-be shaman themselves are seen by the collective
as being the ones who are mad.
This is a potentially dangerous situation
when the collective madness controls the levers of power,
whether the psychiatric system or our current administration
(please see the first chapter in my book,
“The Madness of George W. Bush: A Reflection of our Collective Psychosis”).

might play a positive role in traditional society.
From a functionalist and psychodynamic point of view,
demonic possession provided otherwise deprived women with oppor-tunities to express repressed feelings.
Exorcism, in turn, seems to have been effective means of reintegrating the victims into their communities while reinforcing traditional values.
