Shamanic Seeing — "A Bird on
the 'Golden Pothos' of Flight!"
The image illustrating this "Shamanic Seeing" post is a closeup of a leaf from my Golden Pothos houseplant, which has a hole in it that looks to me like a bird in flight in a sort of 'abstract' way and, hence, the title of this post!

"I am the poet who thinks that he knows it!"
My Philosophical Notes:
The reason that I wrote this prose can be summed up with the following statement: "Shamanic Seeing" is basically the same thing as the Rorschach test in that you are "seeing" what's in your subconscious mind!
In other words, it's just like when you were a child and you saw "a monster in your closet" at night, rather than seeing that "the monster" was simply the contents of your closet in the dark.
Thus, "Seeing Shamanically" is essentially the same thing: it is simply seeing a pattern in something abstract like the patterns in a plant—and having that mean something to you a metaphorical way—as it represents some part of your subconscious mind.
And this prose was also published on my "Paul Whiting — A Creative Writer" blog (please see the hyperlink below for the blog), since I feel that the message in this prose applies to the message that I am trying to convey through "Paul Whiting — A Creative Writer."
This prose was written in Portland, Oregon.
