Many thanks to Fernando Schwarz, co-founder of New Acropolis in France 50 years ago, for introducing us to shamanism.
The shaman is a mediator in charge of bringing the balance of forces back into harmony.
Not all of us are shamans, but we all have the ability to connect with the different planes of reality while we remain in this world, and thus expand our vision.
Shamans transform themselves to communicate with the spirits, but we can transform ourselves at any time, for example, to listen to others without our personal prejudices that separate us.
Shamanism shows us that everything is interconnected – people, the universe – and that it is possible to restore order to the disorder we live in.
By practicing philosophy, we can re-center ourselves and make sense of things, so that we can support and calm our own disorder.
