Clearing the slate.

Karen Winnett: people perceive a whole lot of ":rules" all quite imaginary and arbitrary..but they live these self imposed rules believing them to be real....in some fashion.they are normally... inherited, packages cobbled together from apretnal and peer ipout,negative social encounters and school reinforcements.People draw these conclusions and then assume theya re immutable.And they make the mistake of assuming others have the same template.Its all actually quite atomized and individual..stemming for a much smaller level of cultural imprint that we really.We are not as homogeneous as we think.


Jennifer Armstrong: That is why when some initiate into shamanism "faces death", they realise that all of these very peculiar and personal blueprints do not matter one bit. They mean nothing in the face of death, since they cannot preserve you at all. So you let go of those and your perspectives broaden.
