“Shamanism is a path of knowledge, not of faith, and that knowledge cannot come from me or anyone else in this reality. To acquire that knowledge, including the knowledge of the reality of the spirits, it is necessary to step through the shaman’s doorway and acquire empirical evidence.”— Michael Horner
“It has been said that the twenty-first century will be a century of spirituality, and I think it must be a century of spirituality if we are to survive… spirituality is something we need to cultivate. To be spiritual is to be solid, calm and peaceful, and to be able to look deeply inside and around us. It means having the capacity to handle our afflictions - our anger, craving, despair, and discrimination. It means being able to see the nature of interbeing between people, nations, races, and all forms of life. Spirituality is not a luxury anymore; we need to be spiritual in order to overcome the difficulties of our time.”— Thich Nhat Hanh
