THE SHAMAN

SINCE HIS EARLY YEARS JIM BELIEVED TO BE POSSESSED BY ANCIENT SPIRITS,ONE OF THEM BEING AN INDIAN SHAMAN.
"INDIANS SCATTERED ON DAWN'S HIGHWAY BLEEDING GHOSTS CROWD THE YOUNG CHILD'S FRAGILE EGGSHELL MIND"

JIM WAS FASCINATED BY THE OCCULT PRACTICE OF SHAMANISM , THE INDIAN'S ANCIENT RELIGION.HE WAS THE MEDICINE MAN , THE HEALER , THE VISIONARY MAN.WITH THE CROWD PLAYING THE TRIBE AND THE BAND DOING THE RHYTHM.
SONGS ,RHYTHMS AND DANCE BRING THEM TO THE SPIRITUAL WORLD OF ANCIENT SPIRITS.ACID , ALCOHOL AND MUSIC MIXED JIM'S SENSES.HE WENT IN TRANCE , DANCING CHANTING , LETTING HIS SUBCONSCIOUS CONTROL THE NIGHT.

THE GREAT FORCE OF SHAMANISM AFFECTED JIM, MADE HIM FOCUSED TO HIS PASSION AND POWER.IT MADE HIM MAGIC AND SPECIAL BUT ALSO DESTROY HIM.ONCE IN THE TRANCE STATE,VOICES OF THE SPIRITS WORLD SPEAK THROUGH HIS MOUTH.AT A POINT THE FREE SOUL OF THE SHAMAN CAN BE GUIDED TO THE UNDERWORLD, AND ESCORTS THE SOULS OF THE DEAD.
THE SHAMANIC VOCATION IS OBLIGATORY AND ONE CANNOT REFUSE IT.THE SOULS OF THE SHAMAN ANCESTORS OF A FAMILY CHOOSE A YOUNG CHILD AMONG THEIRS DESCENDANTS.
HE IS THE LORD OF THE SKY, EARTH AND UNDERWORLD.HE CONTINUALLY LIVE OUT A SYMBOLIC RITUAL OF MYSTICAL DEATH.THE ENCOUNTER WITH DYING AND DEATH WITH THE SUBSEQUENT EXPERIENCE OF REBIRTH AND ILLUMINATION IS THE ONLY AUTHENTIC INITIATION FOR A SHAMAN.
