Every time I have the desire to do something, to create something, that’s Spirit seeking expression through me.

Shamans tend to be men {Women have more of these abilities in their natural state and require less altered consciousness.}, though women also can become shamans; some women shamans are extraordinarily powerful. In some cultures, shamans are involuntarily chosen by the spirits; they realize their calling in a transformational experience, often a serious illness that brings them close to death {For example Damion Brinkley of today.} and is self-cured. In other cultures, persons with natural shamanic gifts are selected at a young age, trained and initiated.

I recently just had 4 new tires put on my mini van but soon afterwards, I noticed the front passenger tire kept losing air. Each time air was added to it, it would soon leak out again. This was a call for action, time to take it back to the garage and let them tell me what I didn't want to hear. I had run over a tiny nail somewhere and now my tire was no longer good as new. But, after a small plug was inserted it is now back to it's original state, holding air and just like new again. I realized this is alot like our Christian walk. Is yours leaking?
