ABSTRACT:
This eclectic mix of folklore, zoology, and neuroscience
opens the mind to intellectual and spiritual meanings beyond that provided in Western civilization. It has encouraged a view of human consciousness as a realm of energy underlying psychic life that contains different
evolutionary plateaus of complexity. In this scenario, humans at some point in the distant past awoke to the immense potential benefits to be gotten from observing and understanding the environment around them. Ancient shamans were the special individuals who called forth secret intelligent powers. They represent an essential transition to a mroe complex form of consciouness in which the deeper self becomes evident.
