The writing about shamans

When we are thinking clearly, the myths of the shamans goes that the shaman conducts something, what is flowing thru that person. And in this kind of myths, the shaman is the person, who stands in the line of the visible and invisible world. So this might give us the tip, what kind of skills those persons might have. In the real world, many shamans might use things like narcotic mushrooms for creating the effect of the magic, and narcosis could be the reason for the most psychic effects, what shamans could create. But then we are going to think about the position of shamans in the cases, where this person would not actually use the narcotics, what causes the hallucinations.  If the poisonous mushroom would be cooked or put in the campfire, that smoke can cause the psychic effect like visible illusions in the eyes and voice illusion in ears.

Somebody has made the interesting theory about those incredible persons, and that is, that they might have skill or ability to channel the magnetic field of Earth for making outstanding effects. In this case, the shaman would use the nervous system as the antenna, what conducts and targets the magnetic field of the  Earth to some point, but when we are thinking about the cases, where some kind of expert in the self-defense skills would give the mental punch, can this cause by very interesting thing.

Maybe that person gives the mark, that the opponent must make the controlled falling, but then we can keep our mind open, and think that maybe the sifu can focus the magnetic field of the Earth, in the certain point of human brains, and that might cause the falling. Who knows, what is the base of those silly things, and maybe that thing is only caused by placebo-effect, that the certain movement of hands mean, that the person must fall or make something like that.

And then we can return to think about shamanism. In theory, a shaman can use similar marks for controlling the group of the people. In this case, the for the villagers have taught the mark, that there would be the dangerous animal behind the shoulder, and when the shaman would give that mark. All persons, who know the mark would do something like go on the ground. This might be a good explanation for the many skills of the shamans, but maybe there is something, what those people don't want to tell to us.
