These days if I get a hint of psychosis I tell my circle...especially the pros, I want another set of eyes. I don’t trust me. Anything weird gets a reality check....like did you see that traffic light go from blinking to steady red...or not? Did you hear or smell that?

Mostly I have no symptoms, I’m one of the lucky ones meds work 100% for, but say I see a visual of the grim reaper one night, someone has to know. I also have a rule...it’s ok only if there is no chance of hurting me or anyone else and it’s not my job to police anyone. I indulge a bit into the psychosis by practicing shamanism from time to time but I only follow books and guides...no making up my own rules. As long as you have a bit of consensus reality you’re safe.

Probably all sounds crazy but it works for me to release what could be psychosis but in a controlled mechanism.
Oh MY!
Seriously, do you mind that I find your post hysterical?
You've done a fantastic job describing any shaman I have ever known!!!
The books and the guides, as in spirit guides? I mean spirit guides makes it more interesting than , you know, paperback or .pdf style guides.

Do you take part in the ayahuasca , too?

I'll admit I do sometimes enjoy the shamanic perspective offered by Alberto Villoldo.

I hope you'd meant to be humorous!
I hope I'm not offending you!
