I think that science, and technology will most likely be the down fall ofhumanity. I think were all fools if we look at the Shaman, and see just a relic of the past. I lookat what a Shaman is, and see a wiseman. Someone who might just be hope for an ailing world.It would be very beneficial for most everyone to experience a little of the Shamans world, andto be exposed to a sense of belonging in the life force of nature.
