"Consciousness" by Sar Maroof

Shamanic ideology has gradually entered Western humanities
and social sciences and developed into the neo-shamanic movement. Neo-shamanism
is a term used to describe the creation or revival of a shamanic culture. Mircea Eliade, a religious scholar, was perhaps the first to
write about neo-shamanism, but it was Swiss psychiatrist and psychotherapist
Carl Gustav Jung who actually revived shamanism in the West. His imaginal
psychology -- a psychology of imagination -- provided a bridge between
Shamanism and Western psychology. Jung's influence has been far-reaching,
touching many of the human sciences, and his ideas have proved of value in such
widely differing fields as biology and theology. To learn more, read "
