Here to Go and Back Again: The Lives and Arts of Brion Gysin - Reality Sandwich

Here to Go and Back Again: The Lives and Arts of Brion Gysin - Reality Sandwich | Ayahuasca News | Scoop.it
If Brion Gysin had not existed, it probably would have been necessary to invent him, as the saying goes. Pre-eminent multimedia psychedelic shaman of the latter-half of the Twentieth Century, Gysin was something of a jack-of-all-trades: artist, calligrapher, entrepreneur, kinetic sculptor, novelist, performance artist, photographer, poet, raconteur, restaurateur, and traveller in this-and-other worlds. Brion did it All.

“Do you remember that story you told me about the shaman whose soul was burned by the missionary’s flashlight?”

“Yes…” I hesitated, surprised at the unexpected question. Over the years I had heard about various incidents involving a certain American Protestant missionary who came to the village some forty years ago to convert the Matsigenka.  The missionary was particularly worried about the villager’s faith in the local shaman:  the man cured, the villagers said; he drank the powerful ayahuasca brew and entered trance; he sang, he shook a magical rattle made from bamboo leaves;

Shamanism as a Biogenetic Structural Paradigm for Humans' Evolved Social Psychology ARTICLE in PSYCHOLOGY OF RELIGION AND SPIRITUALITY · NOVEMBER 2015

The features of shamanism found cross-culturally identify the foundations for a biogenetic paradigm.Similarities of shamanic ritual with chimpanzee displays involving ritualized bipedal charges, communal vocalizations and drumming point to the hominid ritual foundations and community dynamics from which shamanism emerged. Hominid collective rituals expanded over human evolution in enhanced capacities for mimesis, music, and dance, factors selected for as part of an enhanced behavioral ands ymbolic capacity for ritual participation. Ritual practices produce changes in consciousness and experience of self that reflect access to basic structures of consciousness, exemplified in out-of-body experiences. Shamanism engages our innate psychology to produce symbols, reflected in concepts of animism, animal spirit identities and powers, and animal totemic groups...

Onaya Shipibo-Conibo. El sistema médico tradicional y los desafíos de la modernidad.

Don Antonio me contaba tales historias sin ningún rencor,perocon mucho pesar.Él es un Onaya entre los más poderosos.Él,me dice,conoce los secretos que las plantas le confiaron sobre el sentido autén-tico de la existencia y las normas que la regulan;él conoce los aconte-cimientos de la gente del pasado y de la de hoy;conoce a los blancos,vivió largo tiempo en contacto con los hijos afortunados de la genera-ción del diluvio y el “mundo moderno”,y esta sabiduría la pone a dis-posición de su gente.Sin embargo,a menudo duda que puedan enten-derlo,con frecuencia se deja tomar desconsolado por tristes recuerdosde un pasado en que los Shipibo-Conibo sabían obedecer los precep-tos del Onaya en vez de intentar emular las costumbres de los blancos.don Antonio es uno de los ejemplos más iluminantes (e iluminados) dela capacidad de los Onaya actuales de vencer las tendencias contrastan-tes y aparentemente prevaricadoras de la asimilación o de la torpe opo-sición.Don Antonio se afana con todas sus energías en el intento deelaborar el “contacto”,y las negociaciones inevitables impuestas por elhombre blanco,entregando a su gente las armas de la sabiduría ances-tral para enfrentar el radical cambio de su tradición cultural
