Thanks. Wish I could stream it from my MP3 player. Very beautiful.
That... fairly accurately describes my beliefs; the part about viewing mythology and/or deities as mental/poetic symbols--that's a theme that appears in my fiction, my meditations, and my psychology. I call them Archetypes.
What I've managed to gleam is basically 'shamanism, but in the belief that there's no difference between the spiritual and the physical, so you can alter the spiritual by altering the physical'. Most of what I've seen seems to actually be scientifically verified--it's just a statement of the placebo effect, like here.
