The problems of the throwing out of babies with bath waters: Whose paradigms are we really shifting?

Entheogenisis is broad. This is not my end of the spectrum, but respect: my respect to the organisation continues.

48:48 What are the symptoms of being hit with a virote? Is it even possible to occur in neo-shamanic, non-traditional contexts and if so, what hope does one have to recover? Presumably the curanderos with 200 years experience are thin on the ground in Australia. Also presumably it would not take a brujo that length of time to become proficient in dark arts. How many people have undiagnosed darts lodged in their spiritual backsides and no ability to heal themselves or even understand the nature of the condition?

Really appreciate yr work Simon... I had one of those unclassifiable kinds of experience after my first Ayahuasca ceremony... despite having many years of experience with psychedelics, primarily mushrooms... I met these spirit entities in a vision and had this 'spirit intrusion'(?) settle over my heart... the result of which, without going into the story, was that I cried every day, often multiple times, for about a year, over this thing, this gestalt of situation and feeling, that had been projected into me and which never left me alone... until a friend gifted me a session with a woman who calls herself a shamanic practitioner, who did an excellent job of helping me, and to (both of) whom I am forever grateful. Even so, 10 years+ later, the memory of that condition is still confounding and intensely emotional ...

I am wanting to get in touch with Simon. Can you suggest how? Does he have a website?
