Interacting With Souls and Ghosts in Shamanism: Shaman as Psychopomp
The duties of a shaman involve existence in the borderline states. They also imply crossing the boundaries of the worlds and interacting with the inhabitants of various layers of the universe: shaman both welcomes a new soul that has come into the human world, and accompanies the deceased to the Kingdom of the Dead.

Shamans the world over must undergo initiatory ecstasy to manifest their call to office and to validate their vocation and supernatural power to themselves and to their society (Eliade 1964-:35). South American shamans also undergo ritual ordination and experience symbolic death, both essential stations on the arduous road to shamanism on the continent as elsewhere. Familiarity with death as a gateway to life on a different plane of existence is what sets the shaman apart from the average person. Thus, shamans arc frequent travelers across the threshold between life and death and, beginning with the initiatory "dismemberment" and contemplation of their own "death," they "die" repeat-edly in the course of their praxis.
Quote from the book Tobacco and shamanism in south America

This book is a vibrant tapestry woven with threads of humor, spirituality, and profound insights, designed to awaken and liberate the mind.

This section is a call to action, urging readers to embrace a new understanding and approach to the world’s challenges with a light-hearted yet determined spirit.
Part Two: Breaking News is where prophecy meets fiction, sprinkled with a dash of comedy. Adzema paints a picture of a near future where heaven and earth converge. Through vivid storytelling, he reveals a universe teeming with shared experiences and consciousness.

It’s a hopeful vision of humanity on the brink of reuniting with the cosmic consciousness, promising a future filled with wonder and unity.
Part Three: The Mind’s True Liberation is the philosophical and spiritual heart of the book. Adzema provides answers to the existential questions that have plagued humanity for eons.

Essential Avengers: Avengers #324: The Crossing Line Part 6: IMAGINARY BORDERS
Tumblr media
October, 1990
NUCLEAR HOLOCAUST!
Finally, we reach the end of the Crossing Line. In which at no point is the title the Crossing Line explained. I've heard that the Crossing, that infamous Avengers storyline, also doesn't really explain itself. Maybe both stories are named for making people cross. Who can say?
Anyway, last time in Avengers: Russian terrorist group Peace Corpse hijacked a nuclear submarine to try to cause World War III to fix the world economy.
The Avengers were called in to try to get the sub back. The Russian group, the People's Protectorate also showed up because leader Red Guardian knew Peace Corpse's leader. Due to a lot of dumb fighting, the two groups aggroed a group of Atlanteans. And the action shifted to Canada, so Alpha Flight got involved.
Captain America proceeded to bungle a hostage crisis and fucked up so bad while storming the sub that Canada exploded. Alpha Flight's shaman slurped up the explosion, the city, and an entire chunk of Canada into his magical bag of holding.
Everyone had to get along and cooperate to reunite with the bag dimensions but they found that leaving the bag would instantly kill them with radiation.
Then the Peace Corpse leader and his lieutenant show up as a giant naked radioactive conjoined man, who still wants to cause World War III.
Tumblr media
I have all the context and I still don't quite understand why this is happening.
It's all a metaphor for a post-Cold War world, probably.
Vision: "It would appear that their biological link to the Waterwind radically altered them when the submarine's nuclear payload detonated." Captain America: "No need to belabor the obvious, Vision."
The obvious?? The only reason I buy that as an explanation for what happened is because it clearly happened and there's no other explanation offered.
Anyway, the giant naked man is named Combine, because he is two guys Combine-d into one. And he wants to help everyone leave the bag of holding dimension so they can shotgun radioactive fallout all over the world.
He's not here to be helpful.
Box forms some guns and tries shooting at Combine but combine laughs off bullets and then eye lasers Box the fuck unconscious.
A big radioactive conjoined naked man fight floating in a void doesn't give all the characters a way to join the fight. So Puck, Stingray, Red Guardian, Diamond Lil, an unconscious Sersi, an unconscious Box, and Fantasma chill with the civilians.
Vostok uses his technopathy on the Box armor to turn it into a wall to keep the civilians safe from stray shots.
Meanwhile, Fantasma meditates to contact Shaman in the outside world. Just to touch base. Tell him about the giant naked man.
Shaman is not holding up too well. Containing a chunk of Canada and a bunch of people in his mystic satchel of holding is not what it was meant for. And the strain is making him bleed from his face holes, as strain sometimes does to characters whose gifts aren't in the more mental or mystical department.
The long and short and the teal deer is that the People's Avengers Flight need to wrap this up soon or Shaman might be unable to get them out at all.
They also don't really have a plan to wrap it up. Just determination from Captain America that they can't let Combine release all the radiation. If they have to be stuck in the mystic satchel to prevent him from poisoning the planet, well, that's what heroes do.
Perun: "Ho! Have at thee, pontificating buttocks-touching baboons!!"
You're a treat, Perun.
And Combine isn't one of those unstoppable cosmic powers that the Avengers et al are way over their heads with.
As Vision, Perun, Guardian, Crimson Dynamo, and Quasar hammer him, Combine complains that their stupid, ineffectual attacks are wearing down his (their?) supply of radiation.
Combine can absorb more radiation. From the various people trapped in the bag of holding or from the inanimate objects that got hoovered up. But that's not a bad thing either, since once something/someone has been cleansed, they or it can be released from the satchel.
The only problem is the balancing act of making sure Combine doesn't slurp up so much radiation that he murders all of the People's Avengers Flight members fighting him.
Also, now Team Don't Irradiate the World does have a plan.
The other Peace Corpse members who didn't turn into a giant, naked radioactive conjoined man have had a change of heart.
Some guy: "We understand your doubt, Captain, but it is through your own actions -- and those of the others -- that we have seen the error of our ways! Through your efforts, you not only saved your own lives, but those of hundreds of innocents and the very people who threatened you to begin with!"
Feels like the other Peace Corpse members should have gotten more focus to sell this change of heart. But I think we're supposed to view it the same as the Atlanteans coming together to work with everyone.
Whatever.
Anyway, the other Peace Corpse guys suggest that they be merged with Combine so they can out-vote Illyich and Strokov.
Puck: "Democratic principles in a communist villain?! Don't you just love this international thing here?"
Now, you can't just throw Peace Corpse at Combine and expect them to bloop together. Illyich and Strokov were fused because they were wired into the missile computer or whatever nonsense it was.
But Sersi can do it, with her matter transmutation power!
Except she's unconscious from all the strain of using her powers and then getting psychically whammied by Combine!
But Fantasma can just hijack Sersi's powers like she did in the previous issue!
Poor Sersi and Box. Cool stuff is happening with their powers in this issue. But they're both unconscious and someone else is using their stuff.
I guess that's the international cooperation in work.
Fantasma helps Captain America manifest as a giant head to explain the plan to the heroes who are busy fighting Combine.
Captain America: "We have a plan -- but it requires your help -- all of you must continue to pound the Combine relentlessly! Don't let up -- once their resolve is weakened... the remaining members of the Peace Corpse will enter their group mind and force the Combine to absorb our radiation from us!" Perun: "That sounds ridiculous!" Crimson Dynamo: "Of course it does, friend Perun... Which means it will probably work perfectly!"
I can almost imagine the exhaustion in Dynamo's voice. As he grapples in that moment with the insanity of living in a comic book universe where nonsense is just reality.
While Team Fight Combine fights Combine, Fantasma takes Sersi's unconscious body and starts bringing the remainder of Peace Corpse towards Combine.
Meanwhile, Combine has absorbed radiation from enough people and material for Shaman to start bringing people through.
Tyrak: "Avenger! Allow us to go first -- we are perilously close to death as it is. If someone is to be used to test the magician's theories, it may as well be us." U-Man: "After all, what difference if a few Atlanteans die?" Captain America: "All life is precious to us, Meranno, yours included. But if you're volunteering, then let's do it. We don't have much time..."
Tumblr media
So Shaman dumps people and stuff out of his bag of holding and huzzah, the radiation is gone.
The Atlanteans are able to hydrate and save the human civilians that landed in the water.
Back in the bag space, Vision puts into motion his secret plan.
... He just does what he always does. He intangibles. In fairness, he doesn't fist. He usually fists. But Combine is just too dang big. So he flies through him instead and does him a distraction.
That lets Guardian do her thing. And her thing is apparently a "gravitational shunt."
She instant transmissions. Even including the POP!
Tumblr media
The non-Combine members of Peace Corpse are shoved into Peace Corpse, leading to a discussion as everyone fights for consensus.
"--No! You cannot control us -- our cause is just!" "No, Illyich, my friend -- your actions, your decision to unite the world through war was wrong!" It's true, Illyich! An international enclave of heroes has shown us the way of the future!" "That was is through might! We must use force to further the needs of our country and our planet!" "No, Strokov -- it's not through force of might, or through personal gered. We've learned that now!" "It is through mutual dependency, mutual cooperation, and mutual desire!" "Do you see inside our minds now, Illyich? Strokov?" "I -- I -- see --" "Then we must atone for the error of our ways, comrades."
Outvoted. Democracy in action!
The new Combine absorbs all of the excess radiation and form a giant hand-holding circle of naked people.
Tumblr media
And like a lot of throwaway cosmically powerful characters in fill-in stories, the Combine decides to fuck off into (bag) space to explore reality.
We'll never see them again.
But at least they learned that borders aren't real.
Shaman is just about to collapse and the dimensional vortex too so everyone still in the bag dimension books it back through to planet Earth.
Tumblr media
Just one entire half hour later, everyone is getting ready to go their separate ways.
The Atlanteans have fucked off. Apparently, Captain America talked with them before they left, telling them that Attuma would be treated fairly in his war crimes trial.
Didn't realize that was a thing.
Anyway, they Atlanteans also expressed interest in getting some humanitarian aid. Considering Atlantis got blown up twice in one event.
The People's Protectorate fuck off, on good terms with the Avengers. And since this is Canada, the Avengers fuck off, leaving Alpha Flight to watch them go.
Guardian: "We did ourselves and our country proud, gang. Funny, to be part of an ideological struggle between the world's super powers, wasn't it?" Puck: "Sort of makes you wonder what the worth of ideology really amounts to, eh? After all, we don't owe the children of tomorrow a bit of our ideologies and foolish way.s We just owe them a world in which they can choose to create their own... for the better, one hopes..."
Is THAT what we learned from all of this?
I thought we learned... something about democracy and working together? Idunno.
Let's just transition into the back-up feature so I don't have to sort out themes.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
So we finally learn who has been messing with the Avengers Support Crew and who called them all out to the park last issue.
It is Mother Night!
I haven't heard of her! But she works for the Red Skull and seems to have power over perception.
She's also, maybe, a bit of a doofus. Calling the Avengers Crew for a big dramatic reveal without thinking that construction workers might wander through.
Her powers let her get away with it but she did have to pause her dramatic speech to disguise herself.
Mother Night takes the Avengers Crew outside the grounds to a blood donation truck where Minister Blood and Machinesmith are waiting.
Minister Blood wasn't around when this evil scheme was set into motion so Night Explains It All.
She and Machinesmith have been staking out the Avengers' headquarters for two weeks. Night disguised herself as a lady walking her dog and hypnotized Jarvis as he was on his way to the mansion. Then, she planted a micro-transmitter in his inner ear. And did the same with the rest of the Crew over the next days. With that micro-transmitter, she could trigger a traumatic hallucination.
Which is what was happening in all the back-up stories.
Now, with the Avengers Crew in her power, Mother Night and Minister Blood are going to perform psychic surgery to implant post-hypnotic commands for later.
Tumblr media
Which apparently consists of the same traumatic experiences again but this time Mother Night saves them in exchange for them doing favors for her. But the favors will be done subconsciously and the Crew won't remember any of this except as a hazy dream.
Minister Blood: "So how long has the Skull been planning this little venture?" Mother Night: "Johann doesn't know a thing about it, Minister. Using their civilian workers to bug the Avengers' new headquarters was all my idea. When the job's complete, I'm going to give Johann a bank of video monitors to correspond to every bug they plant. I think the Red Skull is going to just adore the birthday present I got him, don't you?"
Making him a birthday gift. First-name basis. This woman I've never heard of and the Red Skull must be close. Like the closest of acquaintances.
So, all those back-up stories were written by Mark Gruenwald, who is also writing the entirety of Avengers #325.
So he's setting something up. We'll see what. Because I'm covering that issue before I head into the Terminus Factor, the linked annuals story for the Avengers.
Stay tuned!

Australian King Parrot Prophecy And Symbolism
The Following Channel is from higher powers, Divine, the ancestral plane and is prophetic through Quornesha S. Lemon|
Whether the Australian King Parrot appears in dreams, visions, waking life or synchronicities, it is a sign and message that giants are about to fall. This will be in relation to a variety of areas in your life. You can expect miracles, blessings, joy and things coming together in just the right way. All things are possible now and all roads are opening. Things will begin to be reinstated, released, reconsidered, reversed, and revived. You will begin to see a miraculous turn around in situations that were allegedly dead. This can be in your finances, relationships, home life, a passion you may have or even in your health.
The Australian King Parrot is a sign that you are headed in the right direction(s) and whatever or whoever you need along your journey will come to you. You will find yourself praying and a solution will come. Asking and wishing for something and it will manifest. Things are turning around for you indeed. You will find yourself receiving the recognition you deserve. You will make a difference in the community you deserve. You’re in a good space within your life right now and no one will be allowed to disrupt it. Divine is the coauthor of your story, and no one else can write it for you. You have been doing a great job with standing up for yourself in the spirit and naturally.
Your discernment is very strong and your truth is emerging. The table of adversity is changing, what/who laughed at you will now grieve. What celebrated your fears/failures will now see you succeed. You are being released from decades old curses, generationally speaking and as of late. You may have gifts such as intercession, exorcism, healing, seeing/sensing/sight, and the like. Some very “powerful people” are about to fall. Over the coming days, weeks and months you will find yourself showing your powers in a dream. Miracles are about to take place to you and for you. Everything you need, will arrive, in its perfect place. New is entering your life, and your business/career will succeed. Success is guaranteed to you now, but you’ve got to stay the course, and not give in to any distractions.
You are on the path to wealth and healing. You can see through people, and the realm of spirit is becoming very transparent to you. Angels and the lesser are becoming very prevalent to you, if not now, soon. Your sight is beyond the physical. Ancestry is very important, as this dictates health, psychological as well as the gifts and talents. You can always heal and tap into your own lineage. Whatever you’re doing right now, business wise, it’s going to be big. And it’s YOUR turn. The Australian King Parrot is symbolic of using your voice, your authority, and gifts. It is also a message that your feet will touch foreign lands, and that you will be in rooms where you will influence and pivot the energy as you enter.
This message isn't, obviously resonant with all whose paths it crosses, as perhaps you may encounter someone of this vernacular, mastery or skill. Therefore, it is a sign from the universe that you're meant to work with such a person. 
Need further clarity or your own queries answered? Book your own reading as my schedule is full and I do not guarantee a reply on social media regarding this post.
If this is not you, then it is time to get clear to rejoin your tribe or the rest of the world of infinite beings. It's time to bring your light to the forefront. However, if you aren't able to invoke, heal or otherwise on your own, call on the assistance of shamans, healers, intuitive people, etc. to assist you. This synchronicity can possibly have specific meanings for you, it's time to get insight.

Shamanic Illness through the Eyes of an Insider
Shamanic illness is a particular condition occurring when a person is summoned by spirits. This is a life-threatening experience of an initiative nature. A person leaves the human world and enters into the threefold shamanic realm.
In winter, on one of the warm days, I was riding a horse and looking for my deer. Night was drawing nigh; suddenly I felt like someone’s hand hit me hard in the back; my entire body was pierced with cold, as if someone had poured ice water over me.
I raised my head and saw three ravens: one was white-headed, the other was motley, and the third was black. Curious, I’ve been staring hard, then fainted and fell to the ground. Falling, I heard someone’s voice: “It turns out that the one we are looking for is here.”

broke: ‘this trope is racist!’ discourse that has zero awareness of why (other than ‘just to be racist’) someone might want to use that trope or something shaped very like it.
