Shamanic Experiences?

Geshela (Geshe Lobsang Gyatso) who was a Tibetan Buddhist Geshe Lama told me once during the 1980s when my wife and kids were studying with him in Santa Cruz and later in India that Tibetans view reality differently than we do here in the western world.

To us here what is physical is real and what is the stuff of dreams normally is not real.

That is not how a Tibetan Buddhist views reality.

To them what is physically real is both real and unreal simultaneously and what we dream in our minds and when sleeping is both simultaneously real and unreal.

Then there is Australian Aborigine which is everything physically real is unreal and everything you dream is real. So, their point of view would be the exact opposite of a white WASP person here in the U.S. during most of the last 200 or more years.

Though my conditioning (how I was programmed to view reality) by School, TV and many adults while I was growing up is the materialistic way we speak in our language, I also have many other overlays of ways of viewing reality as well.

I have come to view all these many ways of viewing reality as valuable in different contexts of life.

It is sort of like speaking many languages. Each language perceives reality very differently (if you speak more than one language you already know this).

 So, for me, being an intuitive is often like being a linguist who speaks many different languages.

First, there is English that I speak with anyone who wants to speak with me.
Then there is the telepathic language that goes on all the time too (since I was 2 or before)
Then there are prophetic dreams that often tell me my own future or my family's or even the world's future or potential future.

Then there are even deeper meanings than this.

Then there are the many ways to communicate all these things with people, animals, trees, UFOs, planets, Stars, Galaxies, nebulas, other civilizations in the past, present and future of our galaxy or others.

All these things I have found are real and more. But, how much of all this actually is useful in talking to others about?

It's hard to say except in the moment each and every day of one's life.

Likely, given a choice I would not have chosen to be the way I am.

Because being an intuitive is a very difficult experience until you are about 30 or so and many intuitives don't survive to see age 30 because of this. But, if you are able to be useful to yourself and your family and friends then often it is worth going through all this and living to see all the amazing things you see and experience during your very long life if you make it at least to 30 to begin with.

People who are natural intuitives like myself have helped keep the human race alive before there were satellites, weather reports, or news outlets to warn people of things that might kill them.

So, without intuitives all down through history in all nations and cultures, the human race already would have been extinct thousands and possibly even millions of years before now.
