I
AM
VERY
ACCOMMODATING
By:
Margaret
E.
White
I
ask
no
questions.
I
accept
whatever
you
give
me.
I
do
whatever
I
am
told
to
do.
I
do
not
presume
to
change
anything
you
think,
say
or
do;
I
file
it
away
in
perfect
order,
quickly
and
efficiently,
and
then
I
return
it
to
you
exactly
as
you
gave
it
to
me.
I
am
the
reservoir
into
which
you
toss
anything
your
heart
or
mind
chooses
to
deposit
there.
I
work
night
and
day;
I
never
rest,
and
nothing
can
impede
my
activity.
The
thoughts
you
send
to
me
are
categorised
and
filed,
and
my
filing
system
never
fails.
I
am
truly
your
servant
who
does
your
bidding
without
hesitation
or
criticism.
I
cooperate
when
you
tell
me
that
you
are
‘this’
or
‘that’
and
I
play
it
back
as
you
give
it.
I
am
most
agreeable.
Since
I
do
not
think,
argue,
judge,
analyse,
question,
or
make
decisions,
I
accept
impressions
easily.
I
am
going
to
ask
you
to
sort
out
what
you
send
me,
however,
my
files
are
getting
a
little
cluttered
and
confused.
I
mean,
please
discard
those
things
that
you
do
not
want
returned
to
you.
What
is
my
name?
Oh,
I
thought
you
knew!
I
am
your
subconscious.
Regarding
consciousness,
it
is
unfortunate
that
today
our
mode
of
thinking
is
that
consciousness
only
comes
from
the
head,
mind
or
brain.
It
doesn’t!
The
brain
is
an
organ
that
directs
consciousness
in
a
certain
direction,
and
the
mind
can
ramble
on
in
strange
ways
and
want
things
that
the
body
and
soul
do
not
want.
There
is
also
a
body
consciousness,
for
example,
when
we
eat
certain
foods,
the
bile
knows
whether
or
not
there
is
something
there
for
it
to
go
to
work
on.
In
Dr.
Peter
O’Connor’s
book;
‘Understanding
The
Mid-life
Crisis’,
he
says:
“For
the
first
half
of
their
lives
males
have
been
heavily
conditioned
into
believing
that
the
conscious
mind
is
the
centre
of
their
universe
and
that
the
ego
in
particular
is
the
ruler
of
this
universe.
“I
find
in
this
modern
fixed-belief
system,
that
the
conscious
mind
is
the
centre
of
the
psychological
universe,
and
the
ego
the
ruler
of
the
system,
a
strange
parallel
with
the
ancient
view
(some
400
years)
that
the
earth
was
the
fixed
centre
of
the
universe
and
the
sun,
planets
and
stars
rotated
around
it.
It
is
as
if
man
has
simply
shifted
this
erroneous
belief
into
the
realm
of
his
personal
universe…
In
many
ways
Jung
can
be
seen
as
being
to
psychology
what
Copernicus
is
to
Astronomy.”
The
problem
in
middle
age,
when
the
body
has
reached
it’s
climax
of
power
and
begins
to
decline,
is
to
identify
yourself
not
with
the
body,
but
with
the
consciousness
of
which
the
body
is
just
a
vehicle.
And
in
growing
old
there
is
the
fear
of
death.
But
this
body
is
a
vehicle
of
consciousness,
and
if
you
can
identify
with
the
consciousness,
you
can
watch
the
body
go
like
an
old
car.
But
it
is
predictable.
And
then
gradually,
the
whole
thing
drops
off,
and
consciousness
rejoins
consciousness.
Out
in
the
bush,
where
I
now
live,
you
can
see
all
sorts
of
different
consciousnesses
relating
to
each
other.
There
is
a
plant
consciousness,
an
animal
consciousness
and
a
mineral
consciousness,
and
we
as
humans
share
all
of
these
because
we
eat
these
things,
we
assimilate,
absorb,
these
energies
along
with
the
matter.
Regarding
consciousness,
Fred
Alan
Wolf
says
that:
“I
realised
that
my
body
is
a
materialisation
of
my
unconsciousness.
My
body
is
not
a
symbolism
of
my
unconsciousness.
It
is
my
unconsciousness.”
This
gave
him
the
connection
between
how
addiction
and
the
unconscious
are
related,
saying;
“Our
bodies
become
addicted
to
material
substances.
In
the
same
way,
our
consciousness
becomes
addicted
to
material
form.
It
is
an
addiction
or,
perhaps
less
strongly
put,
a
desire
to
have
something
rather
than
nothing.”
But
this
opens
up
a
whole
new
subject
about
a
social
problem
that
can
be
solved
with
an
understanding
of
Shamanic
Consciousness.
A
brief
description
of
this
altered
state
of
consciousness
can
best
be
described
in
the
following
passages.
The
first
of
which
is
from
‘The
Truth
About
Shamanism’
by
Amber
Wolf,
and
the
second
is
from
‘Shamanism
–
A
Beginners
Guide’
by
Teresa
Moorey:
Shamanic
Consciousness
“To
understand
the
sacred,
other
world
journey
of
the
shaman,
it
is
necessary
to
first
understand
shamanic
consciousness.
To
begin
with,
consciousness
is
usually
divided
into
two
primary
types:
1.
The
focused,
waking
consciousness
in
which
we
are
alert
and
aware
of
our
surroundings,
[Ego
consciousness
Ed.]
2.
The
unfocused,
non-waking
consciousness
in
which,
we
are
either
dreaming
or
unconscious
of
our
surroundings.
“Simply
put,
shamanic
consciousness
blends
the
focused
awareness
of
waking
consciousness
with
the
unfocused
flow
of
dreams,
inner
vision,
and
non-waking
consciousness….
“Shamanic
consciousness
is
a
special
altered
state
of
consciousness
in
which
the
shaman
is
able
to
view
his/her
surroundings
as
a
non-ordinary
reality.
The
shaman
is
aware
of
the
concrete
levels
of
reality
that
include
the
everyday
world
of
humankind.
The
shaman
is
also
aware
of
the
abstract
world
of
Nature
energies
and
Spirit.
“For
the
shaman,
both
the
concrete
and
abstract
levels
have
significance,
meaning,
and
validity.
The
shaman
has
the
ability
to
draw
information
and
wisdom
from
all
levels,
and
the
abilities
to
not
confuse
them
with
each
other….
“Carl
Jung,
the
great
Western
psychoanalyst
and
mystic,
once
compared
the
mind
of
man
to
a
large
apartment
building.
While
most
people
in
an
apartment
building
are
familiar
with
a
few
floors
and
a
few
other
residents
of
the
building,
very
few
know
them
all.
The
shaman,
as
an
explorer
and
experimenter
in
mind
and
consciousness,
strives
to
“visit
all
the
floors
and
residents.”
He/she
is
then
able
to
return
to
his/her
own
“apartment”
without
getting
lost.”
Psychology
“The
shamanic
state,
especially
at
its
inception,
has
been
likened
to
forms
of
mental
illness,
such
as
schizophrenia.
There
are
several
points
in
connection
with
this.
Firstly,
while
the
shaman
may
begin
her
career
in
crisis,
she
certainly
does
not
remain
so,
for
the
point
of
shamanism
is
controlled
spirit-flight
and
effective
use
of
transcendent
states.
Secondly,
any
‘dualistic’
perception
within
society,
such
as
good/bad,
spirit/matter,
light/dark,
which
occurs
in
many
cultures,
is
bound
to
provoke
crisis
in
one
whose
mystical
experiences
go
beyond
this
resolution
into
opposites,
at
once
unifying
them
and
rendering
them
meaningless.
Third,
our
attitude
to
such
illnesses
as
schizophrenia
may
just
be
misleading,
for
though
these
conditions
entail
an
undeniably
great
degree
of
suffering,
we
totally
fail
to
consider
any
possibility
of
the
sacrality
[sacredness
ED.]
of
these
states
or
the
possibility
of
spiritual
revelation
in
connection
with
them
–
for
instance,
Mongolian
lamas
may
advise
the
mentally
unbalanced
to
become
shamans…
“As
a
mediator
between
the
comprehensible
and
the
non-comprehensible,
the
unnameable,
the
shaman
could
make
a
perilous
world
seem
manageable.”
For
a
detailed
understanding
of
shamanic
consciousness
I
would
recommend
reading
‘The
Eagle’s
Quest
-
A
Physicist's
Search
for
Truth
in
the
Heart
of
the
Shamanic
World ’
by
Fred
Alan
Wolf.
Joseph
Campbell
says
that
the
whole
world
is
informed
by
consciousness
and
that
meditation
is
the
transformation
of
consciousness.
Saying
that:
“All
of
life
is
a
meditation,
most
of
it
unintentional.
A
lot
of
people
spend
most
of
life
meditating
on
where
their
money
is
coming
from
and
where
it’s
going
to
go.
If
you
have
a
family
to
bring
up,
you’re
concerned
for
the
family.
These
are
all
very
important
concerns,
but
they
have
to
do
with
physical
conditions
mostly.
But
how
are
you
going
to
communicate
spiritual
consciousness
to
the
children
if
you
don’t
have
it
yourself?
How
do
you
get
that?
What
myths
are
for,
is
to
bring
us
into
a
level
of
consciousness
that
is
spiritual…
Every
God,
every
mythology,
every
religion
is
true
in
this
sense;
it
is
true
as
metaphorical
of
the
human
and
cosmic
mystery.”
This
Great
Mystery
can
never
be
explained
in
any
other
form
because
myths
and
dreams
come
from
realisations
that
have
to
find
expression
in
symbolic
form
and
because
they
are
manifestations
of
the
energies
within
us,
moved
by
the
organs
of
the
body
including
the
brain.
The
following,
I
believe
is
the
crux
to
understanding
life
and
why
we
have
all
the
problems
that
we
do.
If
you
can
follow
it,
it
will
also
explain
the
importance
of
understanding
the
duality
of
our
existence
(see:
'Duality
and
the
Order
of
Life
and
Energy').
People
say
that
seeing
is
believing,
but
they
have
it
wrong
because
believing
is
seeing.
Each
of
us
creates
the
reality
we
see
from
our
beliefs.
Recording
a
clear
image
of
an
object
in
our
mind
creates
an
object
clearly
in
the
world.
We
see
what
we
want
to
see.
This
is
something
like
thinking
of
an
ice
cream.
If
you
think
it
clearly
enough
and
often
enough,
you
will
go
and
get
one
at
any
cost.
Creating
one
in
the
real
world.
According
to
Fred
Alan
Wolf,
it
is
in
Mythos,
Mythic
Time
or
Mythic
Reality
that
nothing
physically
exists
except
as
all
possibilities.
This
is
the
Quantum
Body,
or
consciousness,
where
will
and
intent
live
together
in
our
conscious
mind.
However
everything
exists
physically
in
Cronos
as
the
real
truth
in
our
unconscious,
mechanical
“body-mind”,
with
cellular
memories,
desires
and
fears,
but
no
will
or
intent,
or
heart
and
soul.
So
everything
that
actually
exists,
does
so
at
the
price
of
having
no
conscious
knowledge
of
itself,
and
therefore
relies
on
sending
messages
to
our
conscious
mind
that
only
acknowledges,
or
sees,
what
it
wants
to.
So
everything
in
our
conscious
mind
is
in
the
form
of
symbols
and
metaphors,
and
is
factually
false
unless
it
has
a
direct
communication
with
the
unconscious
“body-mind”.
This
communication
is
what
is
known
as
Shamanic
Consciousness,
and
can
be
accessed
when
the
body-mind
is
dying
or
thinks
it
is
dying,
as
it
prepares
for
it’s
next
stage
of
the
universal
cycle
of
consciousness
and
reaches
a
timeless,
spaceless,
non-physical,
oneless.
