Word of the day is Shamanism

the word of the day is Shamanism ( I met a real Shaman last year to tell the truth i never knew that a Shaman existed.

So I went to good old Wikipedia to give me some insight and this is what I was enlightned with.

Shamanism refers to a range of traditional beliefs and practices concerned with communication with the spirit world. Practitioners of shamanism are known as shamans. There are many variations of shamanism throughout the world, though there are some beliefs that are shared by all forms of shamanism: That spirits can play important roles in human lives. The shaman can control and/or cooperate with the spirits for the community’s benefit. The spirits can be either good or bad. Shamans engage various processes and techniques to incite trance; such as: singing, dancing, taking entheogens, meditating and drumming. Animals play an important role, acting as omens and message-bearers, as well as representations of animal spirit guides. The shaman’s spirit leaves the body and enters into the supernatural world during certain tasks. The shamans can treat illnesses or sickness; they are healers. Shamans have the ability to diagnose and cure human suffering and, in some societies, the ability to cause suffering. This is believed to be accomplished by traversing the axis mundi and forming a special relationship with, or gaining control over, spirits. Shamans have been credited with the ability to control the weather, divination, the interpretation of dreams, astral projection, and traveling to upper and lower worlds. Shamanistic traditions have existed throughout the world since prehistoric times.

– Mary Kay Ash

On that note:  Here are the lyrics to John Mayers song “Bigger Than My Body”

This is a call to the color-blind
This is an IOU
I’m stranded behind a horizon line
Tied up in something true

Yes, I’m grounded
Got my wings clipped
I’m surrounded (by)
All this pavement
Guess I’ll circle
While I’m waiting
For my fuse to dry

Someday I’ll fly
Someday I’ll soar
Someday I’ll be so damn much more
Cause I’m bigger than my body gives me credit for

behaving like a child

today I behaved like a child. I said i would do something that i really didn’t want to do, but i did it because i said i would and the only reason i did it was because this person did me a favor. any who so i did the favor back not really wanting to do this and i must say i behaved like a child.

so your not confused about what i just wrote above, here are the details. 

 

someone did me a favor by coming over to my apartment and hooking up my wireless Internet and to repay this person i treated the person out to eat, i knew i was going to be bored out of my mind but i did it anyway, i was so against doing this i woke up this morning starting throwing up stomach acid  (due to there being no food in my stomach to barf up) i figured if i was truely throwing up i could call and cancel but no food came up and the thought of putting this off made me feel more sick. I decided i would try to change my way of thinking i would have fun no matter what. so this morning after barfing up air, i decided to take a walk on the beach and lay under a tree and read my book. Ahhhh nice and relaxing. after that i went and did some shopping at the market and back home and took  a bubble bath. I even decided i would look cute just for shits and giggles and soon as i stepped out of the apartment to go to the hotel for brunch my mood went down hill.

so the conversation at brunch was……………………….dry and……………. whats the word i’m looking for…………………………….BORING!!!!!!!

 

So i started gazing off into imagination land deep imagination land. Finally the brunch is over and my mind is yelling THANK YOU JESUS THANK YOU. I must admit I was rude, a good friend showed up at the brunch and I went to his table and started yapping away for a while almost 15minutes LOL!

Good its like done i ask for the bill and pay it was overly expensive and then i was asked if i was going to leave a tip. before i could catch myself i said HELL NO! AND THEN COMPLAINED ABOUT HAVING A HEADACHE AND HAVING TO CATCH MY BOYFRIEND BEFORE HE WENT TO WORK. I GOT HOME GOT IN THE BED AND REPLAYED THE WHOLE AFTERNOON IN MY MIND and realized I Marie Parham acted like a spoil little child today, I’m not proud of myself. i even thought about not writing about this but i had to get this off my chest. sighhhhhhhhh

well, i’m sending my apologies out into the universe, i’m sorry truely.
