““What,” it will be Question’d, “When the Sun rises, do you not sea round disc of fire somewhat like a Guinea?” O no, no, I see an Innumerable company of the Heavenly host crying, “Holy, Holy is the Lord God Almighty.””
— William Blake
“The shaman, then, is one who knows that there is more to be seen of reality than the waking eye sees. Besides our eyes of flesh, there are eyes of fire that burn through the ordinariness of the world and perceive the wonders and terrors beyond. In the superconsciousness of the shaman, nothing is simply a dead object, a stupid creature; rather, all the things of this earth are swayed by sacred meanings. ”
— Theodore Roszak in The Making of a Counter Culture (1969)
