The psychedelic movement, which offered a kind of "scientific" (or at least experimental) verification of non-ordinary consciousness, led to a degree of rapproachement between spirituality & radical politics- & the trajectory of this movement may have only begun. If religion has "always" acted to enslave the mind or to reproduce the ideology of the ruling class, it has also "always" involved some form of entheogenesis ("birth of the god within") or liberation of consciousness; some form of utopian proposal or promise of "heaven on earth"; and some form of militant & positive action for "social justice" as God's plan for the creation. Shamanism is a form of "religion" that actually institutionalizes spirituality against the emergence of hierarchy & separation- & all religions possess at least a shamanic trace. |
