Just as every belief system and ideology is ultimately a cult, every state of consciousness, is in essence, a kind of trance. Capitalism, for instance, is a materialist cult, and its worshippers are believers in a technological progress that has no connection to a natural world or an ensouled cosmos. The normative consciousness of a worker within our capitalist society is awake to the daylight world of work and responsibility, political maneuver and financial calculation, but unaware of the deep reaches of the shaman’s night where jaguars and snakes, demons and spirits, battle for primacy, where awe, ecstasy, and terror mingle inextricably. Modern society forfeited vast arenas of vision, intuition, and supersensible perception in its fixation on what can be separated, defined, and controlled.
