The Office of Shaman: A Hermeneutic Rationale for the Inclusion of a Soul Concept in the Genesis of Human Thought

The Office of Shaman by John Worthington identifies and explains the levels of consciousness, the dynamic functions of the soul, the mechanics of change, and the nature of perception. It is written to resonate simultaneously with multiple layers of your being and consciousness. The position, or Office, of Shaman has been part of the human experience for millennia. From the days we lived in caves and hunted woolly mammoths, there have been those specific individuals who have been called to serve that Office. Subsequent generations through the ages had their Office holders, each of whom was called to serve, and though the individuals passed on, the Office remained to be filled anew. It remains part of our experience today, in fact, but we as a people have forgotten or perhaps failed to recognize, that the Office is essential to the survival of our people.
