Myths, Shamans and Seers: Phil Borges at TEDxRainier

Accompanied by his stunning photographs, Phil Borges tells the story of visiting and meeting traditional seers in many parts of the world. For over thirty years Phil Borges has been documenting indigenous and tribal cultures, striving to create an understanding of the challenges they face. His work is exhibited in museums worldwide and his award winning books have been published in four languages. His most recent book, Tibet: Culture on the Edge highlights the effect of climate change and technology on Tibetan Culture. Borges teaches and lectures internationally and is co-founder of Blue Earth Alliance.

    There is a shaman in each of us, but to realize this requires an awakening. For me, it was learning to reject most of what I was taught as a child and most of what I see and hear today. Western society is all about stifling the inner voice and severing our connection to mother earth. Money is the drug that is largely responsible for this. You can only choose one or the other.

    It’s absolutely part of ordinary religions, too...but modern politics & industry, & capitalism, have driven it underground. Every religion’s “Good Book”, contains the information...but most in modern world, have been deluded and frightened away from it. Fear is The Great Deceiver, & perpetrated by far too many Zealots these days. Spirit, though, is not; Love really is The strongest power in all creation. That is what real shamans, Medicine people, etc., connect with. There are many paths, but they all lead to the same Goal.

    Some shamans are called at a much younger age. I almost died at birth and started seeing and interacting with spirits, had prophetic dreams when I was 3. Shortly after this started I was deaf for almost 2 years, before my hearing was restored. Some people sensationalize what shamans do, especially western media (TV & movies), but it can be really difficult, especially in our modern societies. I've been called weird, psychotic, a lair or any number of other negative descriptors. And even though my husband prayed for a red headed medicine woman, he wasn't comfortable at times with having to live with one. And then there's the "I just want to be normal" episode. Yeah, when spirit calls you to walk this path, you can walk it or you can roll along in a wheel chair. I tried normal - college to become a school teacher. A week after getting my degree, a drunk driver took me out - and I saw it coming. All the 1st responders were amazed that I was alive, but it turned out that I was really messed up. So no more "working" a regular job, but I raise herbs, minister to people who need me (and where Spirit sends me), and give spirit-filled messages and advice. Not rich, but we did manage to keep our home after the "Great Recession" because I listened to Spirit , and saved my hubby's life when he dropped with a heart attack ( I was forewarned by Spirit and told "don't leave him alone" when he came in from cutting down a tree). There are more of us hidden in our modern world and society than you may think. Witch, artist, composer, mother, mystic ... what's in name when you bring healing and peace to a life and the world?

    Well, I listened to Spirit in the beginning because I couldn't hear anything or anyone else for about 2 years. I continued to listen to Spirit as I grew up, even when I was punished for it. Later, in the 70's I taught myself to meditate by focusing on an object and letting everything around me fade. I used that technique to set the J.High record for long jump and # of sit ups in a minute. I was also drawn to several Native American movies. My grandfather was from a rural area in the south and had a lot of wisdom that he just did. Turns out that a lot of it is considered Southern root workings, conjure, or Granny magic. My grandmother's grandfather was a root doctor in the same area. Then in the 90's my Mom introduced me to some Native family and friends that she had found and I started taking my kids to pow wows throughout GA, FL, and AL. I would listen to the elders tell stories and share wisdom. My uncle, a Creek chief told me to stay away from the instant vision of plants and drugs. It was easy to see stuff that way, but it was VERY dangerous and you were at the mercy of the plants and spirits - and some of them lie. There's a lot of wisdom available in the stories of elders, especially the ones that were raised in rural areas before 1950 and television. You can get books now on a lot of this stuff. Hank Wesselman and Sandra Ingerman have some good videos, audiios and books. Listen to your heart and your gut, and ask Spirit to bring you the teachers that you need to move along your path. Most of your teachers will be the young or the old, people who haven't written a book, put on a workshop or are famous. They will appear as "ordinary" and will teach you a bit. Stay aware of answered prayers and synchronicity. Keep a dream journal, and pay attention to day dreams and errant thoughts as you go to sleep or wake up - they are Spirit messages. And remember - This Is A Journey, Not A Destination. When you help someone to heal, when you deliver a message that helps lift a burden or sooth a soul, you are a Shaman. Let the Power of the Creator Move In You and Through You. Let Go and Let God. That is the real secret of Shamanism. You are a Hollow Bone for Spirit to do the work. Prayers and Love on your journey. - Raine

    Some remember they are born Awake (because babies come into life, still connected clearly with Spirit). Others must find/set their own alarm clocks to wake up, so to speak, because their connections got quickly dulled while young, because parent units told them “it’s just your imagination”, etc.. Mentors? Most don’t have single mentors, but a collection of temporary teachers, roll models, & experiences. They can be bits & pieces from family members, from non-corporeal spirits, from books, films, etc., almost anything that brings some resonance, or an a-ha!, etc. It can come via life experiences of all kinds...what seems catastrophic, or very happy...all the same, in that those can trigger changes in perspectives, connections with Creator, or literally a change in one’s path. Imho, it’s much about paying attention, to hear that ephemeral “still, small voice”....one has to become still, be away from the overwhelming electrical fields pervasive in modern world, away from the loudness of modern world...whether one literally goes out into the wilds, or makes themself a shielded place in the midst of modern mayhem. ANYone can do this...it’s more a matter of paying attention, wanting to, & practicing it, mostly. Don’t allow fear-filled people to derail you. Your heart knows whether an incoming message is from a Good source or Bad source. You can feel it. Fear is the Great Deceiver. In the stream of learning to attend to Spiritual connections, each will be given lessons & experiences that tend to guide them on The Path. One does have Free Will....each is asked to come into a life here. Along the way, each is given experiences/lessons that can lead to Something. One can choose to say No or Yes, pretty much at any point along the way. Sometimes one gets clear messages; sometimes feelings of those only. Lots of different ways. Sometimes one gets to see the results, sometimes not, of their helping others along. Sometimes one knows ahead, so can guide a situation; other times one can find themselves talking with a stranger at a store, trying to figure out what they’re s’posed to be talking about w/that stranger...or s’posed to hear from them. Sometimes dates are given with only a feeling of what those portend, or could be a technicolor, sensuround, detailed vision. Usually, the greater wisdom comes over time, as it’s difficult for the high energy of a youth, to really put more pieces of things together, to figure a fuller picture. Beware of those purporting to be Shaman, etc., who charge big money, or form groups... especially if they have cultish behaviors! Charging costly Fees to learn what Spirit teaches, is wrong-headed. There are loads of fakers. Loads of folks who mean well. Lots of folks really have had “experiences”, but there’s NoWay most of those Hollywood showpersons can get Spirit to speak on command, for a public show. Run, don’t walk, away from those who claim to be psychic, even faster if they charge $$. Find or make a spot where you can find quiet, be protected/grounded from electro-smog, then regularly practice being still, breathing, Quieting your Mind. Be in contact with nature. Breath! Eat organic healthy foods. Drink clean water, enough to avoid even slight dehydration (most modern folks are dehydrated). Listen to peaceful & meditative music. Find like-minded people, but be aware, all are on their own path, which might differ from yours a bit. Simple & entertaining books, free online, can include T.Lobsang Rampa books. The Gaia TV channel still has some movies & such, that discuss real stuff, but most of it is “PT Barnum” stuff that Seekers get derailed by....try to avoid getting stuck in those. Then there are those who find ways to control the body & mind...like Wim Hoff (the Iceman), who teach people how to do it, too...buying or borrowing books, is fine to do. If you have the Will to do something worthwhile, The Universe will start opening the way to achieve it. Then you must do the work. Look @ your life experiences...likely, things have happened, which might have been The Universe trying to wake you up. Look at things that you felt hurt by...can you perceive those differently? Each event is like a faceted crystal...lots of different sides! The better you can really understand all the sides, the more clearly you “get” things. The information is out there, free, in the world. One must spend mostly effort & time (not $$), looking, studying many things. Be patient, diligent, discerning. And breath!

    Hi, this story describes me exactly...I had a “psychotic break”, or that’s what I was told anyway. But the story of the guy who said he was thinking things and then it would happen describes what I experiencing after this happened to me. I felt very euphoric at first but the more people would tell me I was crazy even after I showed them the things happening after I verbalized things they still called me crazy...I had lots of proof that these things happened to me and when I went to the hospital they believed me so then I was happy and content. But when I got back home, I was still faced with my entire family calling me crazy, which put me back into the hospital two more times. I became very afraid to speak to people also. How is it that the same experiences can be experienced by two people who don’t know each other and they can totally relate to each other. Things were happening when I was in a state of pure happiness. People saw similar things I was seeing. To me it means we are all connected on a subconscious level. They were other people in the hospital who experienced the same thing I was experiencing, and they verbalized things I saw in my mind and wrote down. Everyone had something to say that was in my mind already. Something was happening to me but only when I was in that euphoric state of mind. It really upsets me when people say I’m trying to relate something to things I experienced or thought about because nobody cared to listen except the doctors and other people who were experiencing it. I didn’t know what it was so I chopped it off to be something to do with religion or spirituality. I don’t know how to explain it all because it was happening all the time, and as soon as I lost all confidence in myself because I let everyone talk me into believing I was crazy it all went away. I am trying to believe again but it’s hard without talking yourself into thinking your crazy again. There is too much to write about and if I could talk about it without feeling crazy it would be a whole lot easier.

    For those of us who've used psychedelic drugs, this reminds me of set and setting. Yes, it can feel as though you're crazy when you're tripping (and sometimes you are), but the revelations can be extremely helpful in various ways. I believe some may be better off untreated, if that's what they prefer. That being said, some mental illness is very dangerous. It depends on the behavior and ideation of each person. If the "voices" are persistently encouraging suicide or something like that, anti-psychotic medication may save a life. Let's remain open minded and scientifically informed!

    @Alan Byrom The way we define insanity and psychosis in this culture is a huge part of the problem. The path of the healer, the seer, th empath, the medium, the shaman, the energy worker, the mystic is not an easy one. And for those of us lost children of European descent it's even harder because we were severed from our indigenous cultures long before anyone else. And because our culture dictates, we think these avenues aren't open to us. We think it belongs only to the Tibetan, the Native American, the African. That's not true. The Great Way doesn't belong to one peoples; it belongs to all of us. Empire building and Christianity diluted the path to Source, but if we look into our own pre-Classical times, we all had it. That has not gone away. We just need to tap into it by discovering and reestablishing the ways of our own ancestors. Broken chains can be re-fused. If we look mad, so be it. It's not their business anyway.

    ​@Kamil Debiola Clearly you lack experience & knowledge of spiritual/premonitory/altered-state knowledge. There are differences between “hallucinations”, “delusions”, & spiritual/premonitory/altered state events. “Hallucinations” are based on what the mind invents, from no external cues, & irrelevant to other things, times, or beings. “Delusions” are based on what the mind invents from external cues, similar to hallucinations. Neither of those alone, are much use in real time, place, or to beings. Spiritual/premonitory/altered states, however, can incorporate those, but, they ARE relevant & useful to larger context of time, setting, & beings...these can be used to accomplish things in the “real” world. -> When health professionals freak out at first mention of “seeing things”, & fail to differentiate, they then, become part of how broken, deranged, dysfunctional the health care systems have become.

For a long time I thought I was going mad but kept it concealed to avoid being diagnosed with a mental disorder. Yesterday a friend I attended high school with sent me a poem I wrote in 1998. After rereading it I realised it was a word for word emotional account of my current divorce.

    You cannot excise a shaman from the culture he was born into. As a modern urban North American shaman, he almost nails it. But calling them "hallucinations" seems to downplay the giant sacrifice a shaman makes to serve his people. The shamanic death is no joke and is one of the most hideous things a human can go through since the spirits rip you apart. They rebuild you of course but he doesn't get into how shamans are made. Both today and for thousands of years.

    I just healed a girl like 2 months ago in the most interesting ways, i could feel everything they were feeling, the next day i felt that maybe it was all in my head. I refrained from contacting for validation of the experience for a simple reason. "If it meant something for her she will contact me herself " before the end of the day she was desperate to see me. I set a date the next day. We met and ahe was besides herself, she shared a spiral image with me the same image she shared telepathically the night before i couldn't believe the accuracy of her side of the story. I healed her energy. 2 weeks ago I did a random energy to my friend and it spooked her. I'm not sure exactly what to do with these experiences especially i don't seem to be able to either turn it on or off. It just happens.

    1st, the person getting healed must want to get healed. Pushing healing on those who do not want it, is bad...it can get in the way of them doing the work they came to do...whether you like it or understand it or not. Sometimes, it can be extremely painful to witness someone going through horrible conditions....but if they do not ask for help or healing, pushing that on them, usually goes awfully wrong, too. Not being able to turn it off/on like a switch, is not the issue, unless you are trying to earn loads of money putting on shows. If someone asks your help, and you cannot "turn it on", do not worry...when the Universe answers, "no" is also an answer. You simply do the best you can.

    I really enjoyed his other talks I've seen on KZread but, I'm not totally sure what to make of them. I think maybe these are two separate ideas which are both partly true being taken to be related and mutually exclusive. I don't think mental illness should be seen as some hypersensitivity to ghosts and the spirit world but I also believe mental illness shouldn't be stigmatized. My assumption is that I don't have a body but that I am a body, and that there is no undetectable spirit in me that makes me human. The human experience of being able to feel mystical sensations despite them not being there is what makes me human. The fact that love feels like something magical and that with it 2 and 2 can equal 5.

And trust me their some people who really sick and was about to die and don’t want to become shaman, but if they don’t become one they could die of starving or get injury too also. But when they accept their gift, then got better in one day like in a second. Life shocking.

    That is a good question? My answer is that Schizophrenia is a psychological standpoint whereas Shamanism is a spiritual calling. Both are one in the same, but psychologically it is acknowledged as an illness that needs to be treated and medical professionals are monopolizing on suppressing people of this awakening. They are actually stalling the divine order and nature of evolution. For they wish to make money and derailing spiritual truths.

    No one gets stuck for long. Those who bet stuck in a coma, between life and death, have other things happening with them, that keep them suspended. Who are any of us to judge what is happening? Best thing is to support them safely, until they can get through it. Even Granny Weatherwax [from Terry Pratchett stories], had to hang a sign around her neck, to avoid anyone thinking she was dead, when she was only off on a psychic adventure! IF there is harm done, that is because something went very wrong. At no time were spirits ever endangering me, nor telling me to do anything bad. Ever. But there are some who Do encounter bad ones that do tell them to do bad things, or, get into harmful situations.... THOSE are to be wary of!

    I can pass energy through my hands and heal, stop pain and other things. that energy comes to me from the universe not from heaven not from Christian God not from anything like that and I tie into the cosmic consciousness. I didn't start doing this until I was in my 40s when I started doing Kung Fu and Tai chi. I watched my master pass energy through his hands into other people and then I had him do it to me and I could feel the energy going through from his hand through my wrist and it was real! It wasn't long after that until I found that I could do it but I have to ground myself deep into the Earth first and then I pull in and call in the cosmic consciousness a lack of a better word the god which I am you are we all are and I passed that energy through for protection and for healing.

I am also not certain that everyone even in our culture who has 'hallucinations' would be regarded as mentally ill, as is implied at one point. This guy is observing phenomena from a purely 'western academic' perspective....which IMO should not be the entire point, if real knowledge is desired. At one point, he admits that he will never have these experiences himself...but I think that purely observing these people is not ever going to give him the full story...or even a good part of it.

    Well, if they are doing it right, they all eat the goat & make furs etc afterwards and carry its spirit forward with them, as with every meal of any kind. It sounds like the difference is the use of the blood in that particular way to blend its perception more intensely for that moment. I suspect that the problem is in translating the word "sacrifice" in English from their specific word/practice/intention, which in modern western times has a sense of wastefulness to it. Even in priestly practices in the classical era of the Mediterranean & the Middle East, things "sacrificed" or given as "offerings" to the temples were generally used, eaten, or even resold publicly to support the temple. There are even verses in the New Testament telling early christians not to shop at the temples of other gods (for foods, items, or certain "services") because it was like donating to other gods. Obviously, wasteful practices would be abhorrent to animists and the spirits would step in to stop it, so I think its fair to say that this modern western academic simply didn't understand what was happening around him. He pretty much admits this on his own by the end. Still, there are a lot of variety in "old ways" from place to place. For example, northern/arctic shamans tend to be against using actual hallucinogens that are so popular in the tropics. Every time someone asks me about Stone Lodge or eating peyote, I tend to respond with something like, "Do I look like a Navajo?"
