Mushroom Wisdom - How Shamans Cultivate Spiritual Consciousness
By Martin W. Ball
Mushroom Wisdom explores the universal aspects of the sacred mushroom experience as it relates to spirituality. By leading the spiritual seeker to profound states of self-awareness and radical understanding of the nature of the self, reality, and the sacred - it offers insite into a spiritual mirror, uncovering an authentic sense of self, developing “witness” consciousness to overcome self-limiting concepts and judgments, and removing obstacles of ego and self-induced suffering thus triggering the rich experience of “spirit flow.”
The book also addresses the creation and use of ritual, sacred objects, and the importance of sound and silence. The author distinguishes between using mushrooms in spiritual work as opposed to simply having a "fun" experience. Mushroom Wisdom is a serious investigation into deep spiritual space, drawing on both a wide array of scientific disciplines and ancient shamanic practices.
