People ordinarily don't think this way. However, as I was studying Cultural Anthropology in College around 1971 I saw the correlation for the first time. Here is the best example of this from the real history of the Hawaiian Islands:
When Captain Cook first went to Hawaii only the Kahunas were allowed to "See" or even talk about the "White Ghosts" of Captain Cook and his men. The common people were not allowed to see or to talk to them on pain of death.
So, it was the Kahunas (Hawaiian Shaman Priests) who already dealt with Ghosts that were the only ones allowed to see or to communicate with the dead: "Captain Cook and his men on sailing ships". To put this in another context more easily understandable today, the shamans were in the same position the governments of the world are in regard to UFOs that have been coming here likely since before there were any humans on earth. (in fact likely our DNA is around 50% alien from Earth.
And we were forbidden to talk about such things on penalty of losing our livelihoods and our lives since about 1947 here in the U.S. It is only recently (10 or 20 years) that people didn't just disappear from talking about their UFO experiences) here in the U.S.
To understand all this in an "all Time" context "KNOWLEDGE IS POWER" and always has been since before humans lived on earth.
So, to have certain knowledge has always been "FORBIDDEN" in all societies. But much of that forbidden knowledge was only about keeping people down and enslaved by the governing groups of whatever era that was.
Even now, studying about how one thinks in a Shamanic Way is forbidden or frowned upon by Governments around the world. Because when a person can think this way he is she is a "FREE THINKER" who allows him or herself to actually think for themselves instead of being enslaved by a Government or a University's Politically Correct way of doing things.
However, when you historically connect Shamanism being the road to philosophy which is the road to science all this must be view in a completely different context. This New Context is empowering in really unbelievable ways and can lead to knowledge that is beyond the ways of thinking of most of mankind who are enslaved by Media, Schools, Universities, Jobs and Careers into pretending to believe things that just are not ultimately true in any way.
Others might say this is a dangerous path. But, isn't Science a dangerous path? isn't Philosophy a dangerous path? Because it is important for us to know that Shamanism which was the mother to both Philosophy and Science got us in the end to where we are today here on earth.
And on top of all this Shamanism was the MOTHER and the FATHER to all religions on earth.
Tell me if you study Jesus that you don't find him to be an incredibly gifted Shaman and healer at all points in his life?
Tell me if you study Buddha that he doesn't go through Shamanism to find Enlightenment under the Bodhi tree in order to bring the Lam Rim (Middle Way Path) to Buddhists throughout the world?
Every organized religion that benefits all cultures on EARTH is a product of Shamanism which is asking the right questions: Philosophy which leads to All the Sciences now on Earth.
Note: So, was Captain Cook a UFO to the ancient Hawaiians? Yes. I think that would be the best way to put it. Even though he lived on the other side of the world where no white people mostly had ever been seen before, because of this he might as well have come from another planet because the cultures had never touched before.
Even when I was out in the country in India away from the big cities in the 1980s many historical places and towns had no electricity and also the trains were all steam powered, and people hung on the outside (the younger men) for 20, 50 or 100 miles because there was no room on the inside. So, in many ways as I sometimes rode on top of the buses where the luggage was kept and ducked phone and powerlines because I didn't want to breathe the various kinds of things people smoked there inside the buses then I felt often like I was on another planet. But, if you didn't remember to duck at the right times it could get very serious. So, usually you didn't want to be up there alone, you wanted other men and young men up there to help watch out for each other so nobody died from power lines, phone lines, Signs or tree limbs. However, the roofs of buses at that time also had a metal fence around a foot or two high all the way around the roof to keep luggage from falling off the bus so falling off wasn't as big a problem as you might think as long as you were hanging onto something.
So yes, I can completely see how Captain Cook might as well have been from another planet so great were the differences then. Also, because he was so different and they each had such different expectations of each other they eventually killed Captain Cook and might have also ate him.
