Quasi-şamanul din epoca post-industrială

About post-industrial quasi-shamanic beliefs

We are all, in a sens, idolaters of this recent western cultural artifact called "shamanism"; we love, we cherish, we dedicate our self to it, but as much as we get involve, so little we have something to do with the original, indigenous shamanism; we've created a lie, an illusion and we keep doing it just because this is how our culture works... you don't practice shamanism to sell it and to achieve personal transformation, shamanism it happens to be practiced because the world has unmanageable situations and because life is precarious and unforeseeable , because some people (the shamans) are forced to talk to the spirits and to heal the sick people... they are not doing it for fun or for them, they are doing it because there are some forces beyond them that affects them. I'm not speaking about the "real" shamans, it does not matter this point of view, it only matters our illusion, our lie, our self-limitation. This is what I want to know about and I want to fight against.

My point is that the only accurate perspective or maybe the only "right" place of shamanism in our culture, can be found in the scholarly literature of ethnology, sociology, anthropology, psychology and history of religion, but not as a proclamation of scientific objectivity of our powerful western culture, but because this is the only really "fair" usage of this cultural artifact called "shamanism", meaning - the only aspect of our shamanic intelligibility that is not intentionally mixing indigenous culture with western culture, that is just acquiring information. I'm interested in scholarly literature at its most psychological or subjective (read it "weak") level, as a culture who tries not to conquer, to engulf another culture but just to understand it.

Note: this is an important shift of my search. Perhaps this blog will die or will become something else.

I'm returning to this blog and leave it as it is, it's ok as it is...
I'll add some more links at the bottom.

Citeva note despre concretetea lumii:

- ontotectura este materia in general, fara o forma determinanta, corpul fara organe, molecularul in el insusi, dus la extrem, "l'extrem du posible" in sensibil, in concret, cum zice Bataille, intensitatea experientei interioare... La acest nivel, cum am zis, se petrece comunicarea intre fiinte.
- spatiul este primul invelisi, primul strat, prima etotectura sau substratul ei. Prin spatiu nu inteleg ceva aprioric ca in kantianism ci experienta aposteriori prin excelenta a spatiului extraterestru, a universului in general, cu alte cuvinte pur fenomenal vorbind si nicidecum transcedental (exemplu este empatia aprehensiva a cerului instelat, este "spatiul" din science-fiction).
- natura este invelisul nostru, natura noastra, etotectura prin excelenta. Natura este, cantitativ dar si calitativ vorbind, o exacerbare a ceea ce se intimpla in spatiu extraterestru, este o exacerbare a contactului dintre elemente, a coabitarii, a mediumului, a ecosistemului, biotopului.
- infrastructura materiala a civilizatiei umane este un suprastrat al etotecturii si care este acelasi lucru cu ceea ce numim referitor la grafica computerizata "realiatate virtuala", cu alte cuvinte intreaga suprafata a contactului si habitudinii interumane. Acest suprastrat are tendinta de a se concretiza la nivel nonmaterial, deci de a fi de un ordin nonotologic, pur tautologic (adica perpetua repetare a lui "eu sint" sau "constiinta mea este").

Ontotectura este o pereche de blugi proaspat spalati sau la prima purtare; este bitumul sau betonul proaspat turnat; unghiile proaspat taiate si aranjate...
Etotectura este perechea de blugi purtati si uzati; este asfaltul tocit; unghiile mari si nearanjate...

Ontotectura este la nivelul la care ceva se transforma orbeste in altceva, este devenirea invizibila, imperceptibila, nonvisuala, chimicul, biologicul in infinitul mic si dus la extrem; crearea si spalarea blugilor (la nivel molecular, evenimetele care se petrecla nivelul infinitului mic); este prospetimea florilor, ca atacul din sonoritatea unui sunet.
Etotectura este la nivelul contactului direct dintre elementele materiale, este continua vizibilitate a acestui contact; pelicula potecii batatorite de pasi, pelicula pietrelor de munte cioplite de alte pietre, de apa si de vint; este coaja crestata a copacilor, ca decayul din sonoritatea unui sunet.

etotectura este doar privirea ontotecturii, urmarirea ei, contactul in interiorul ei.

About

This is the log of a work in progress. I'm tryning to keep here acount of all my quasi-shamanic inspiration - the medium - so, please, do keep in mind that these posts are in fact the actual WORK that some day will be presented as a finished work - the message - (I hope it will be a book, but I certanly see this only as a last "bagage" that I have to throw away to free myself).
You can email me at -mariustoica_at_gmail_ dot_ com- for any question or opinion that you might have regarding my work.

Some info about myself: My name is Marius Stoica, I live in Timisoara (Romania), I'm 27 years old. Next week I'll get merried and my wife is pregnant in 4 months :) I've studied philosophy with an emphasis on contemporary french philosphy and some on phenomenology. In fact, I'm pretty influenced by authors like Battaille, Deleuze, Husserl or Marc Richir. I also don't like corporatism and imperialism and I try to resist to all the crap that the world is more and more filled in.
