A few posts back I wrote of being a Lakatoh seer. I was sitting by a fire with my eyes mudded and blindfolded. At the time I wasn't sure what was going on, but after some research I learned that seers or shamans would often blindfold themselves to darken their sight to this world. They would also spirit travel at night and in many cultures drumming was used as well.
In my regression, it was evening. There was drumming and dancing to help facilitate the journey into the unseen worlds. The mud and blindfold over the eyes makes sense. I was preparing to journey and it was not my death scene.
Now, I am going to have to try and go back there and find out more...but when I can find the time. Been very busy lately and this type of journey requires some alone time, which is tough sometimes.
I'll keep you posted.
Hands palm to palm,
Shinzen
