We are all shamanistic actually

...because we all dream.

Freud said that a dream is a small psychosis.

However, without that small psychosis, we would truly go mad, as empirical science has shown.

Thus we all have recourse to the spirit world and to madness for the sake of self renewal.

I think most people are a lot more mad than they think they are; and those who go out of their ways to avoid being perceived as mad are usually the maddest of all!
