Description
Gurdjieff and
Madam Blavatsky , and the art of
Nicholas Roerich . The word shaman these days is loosely applied to medicine men, derhes, lamas, etc. It originally comes from the Tungus people of Siberia. It is not the name of a religion as such, but has become a name for those people who have certain mystical experiences irrespective of philosophy, religion or ture - a kind of universal brotherhood or sisterhood. These experiences may be in the form of ecstatic states where the shaman leaves the body and travels to the upper or lower worlds. The shaman is even likely to exhibit control over nature ( siddhi in sanskrit). He or she may also be a great healer. In composing
Shaman ,
David Parsons "imagined a gathering of mystics, headed by a high shaman, at night in a remote desert valley." This recording is his "impression of a complete ceremony where mantras are chanted and derhes are whirling in ecstatic trances to the rhythm of the music." It is Parsons' intention to leave the listener to imagine what the track titles mean as they will surely mean different things to different people.
