The Rave culture that is getting so much press lately is surprisingly similar to shamanic practice. In what is sometimes called techno-shamanism the participants dance together to a pounding beat that you can feel to your bones. They often take Ecstasy, a drug that produces a feeling of euphoria and love and this is all done within an environment whose over-arching philosophy promotes peace, love, unity and respect. The resulting effects can take the rave participant into other worlds. What almost all religions agree on is that there are other worlds beyond the physical one.
Many religions rely on faith and revelation that the spiritual world exists.
I have experience. The shamans are able to directly experience these worlds rather than rely on mere faith that they exist To find out more about shamanism visit the Zenzibar Alternative Culture Shamanism category.
