What language does Buddhist Lamaist Shamanism and Christian Muslim speak?

Answer 1

Buddhist Lamaist Shamanism and Christian Muslim speak the language of direct experience in the same way that that Rilke, Rumi or Orpheus do. It is a pre-verbal encounter mediated by the God parts of our brain which wells up as a joyous singing about our encounters in the otherworld, a dance that takes place in the dream time, which lets us know that there is a wellspring of deep strength where we can go when a modern secular world unaware of spirit tries to crush us. At the same time it makes us recognize the fiction that any one part of the experience, whether that be a self, a god, a spirit guide, a serpent, or the bird atop the world tree can be separated out from the experience to be worshipped or cursed. We are left simply with the experience and its transformative power.
