What is "Intellectual shamanism"?

Without the artifice of the form of logic we often mistake for "common sense", much of human experience would appear in a state of flux. We overestimate humanly constructed realities, often largely as a result of individual and group psychological projections, which serve to solidify flux into seemingly reliable, moral facts.

Group psychological projections can do both good and harm, since we ascribe positive or negative meanings to otherwise ambiguous actions depending on our prior dispositions which are historically generated and therefore more arbitrary than human neurology finds it comfortable to accept.

Shamanism is a means to get below normal neurological patterns of thought, which is why those whose normal human consciousness has been "wrecked", either by traumatic experience or shamanistic drugs, can often resurface from their descent into the underworld of the mind with remarkable insights into humanity.
