Kantheistic Shamanism, known also as The Path of Ecstasy, is the
world’s oldest religion. It is a religion, not of dogma, but of experience. It could no more be explained adequately with
words than could love-making be explained to the inexperienced virgin. You have to “go there” to understand it in fullness.
"Shamanic ecstasy is the real "Old
Time Religion," of which modern churches are but pallid evocations,” Jonathan Ott reminds us. “Shamanic, visionary ecstasy, the mysterium tremendum, the unio mystica, the eternally delightful experience of the
universe as energy, is a sine qua
non of religion, it is what religion is for! There is no need for faith, it is the ecstatic experience itself that gives
one faith in the intrinsic unity and integrity of the universe, in ourselves as integral parts of the whole; that reveals to us the
sublime majesty of our universe, and the fluctuant, scintillant, alchemical miracle that is quotidian consciousness. Any religion that requires faith and gives none, that defends against religious experiences, that promulgates the bizarre superstition that humankind is in some
way separate, divorced from the rest of creation, that heals not the gaping wound between
Body and
Soul, but would tear them asunder... is no religion at all!"
