Medicine men (shamans) learn the ceremonies, which can also be acquired by direct revelation to the individual (see also mysticism). Different Apachean cultures had different views of ceremonial practice. Most Chiricahua and Mescalero ceremonies were learned through the transmission of personal religious visions, while the Jicarilla and Western Apache used standardized rituals as the more central ceremonial practice. Important standardized ceremonies include the puberty ceremony (Sunrise Dance) of young women, Navajo chants, Jicarilla "long-life" ceremonies, and Plains Apache "sacred-bundle" ceremonies...  (Wikipedia)

How do authors see themselves today: as a modern version of a "damned poet"? - As a "Me Inc" or "micro-business"? - Or as the idealized form of our Entertainment Companies? ... (ARTE, 15.10.2009)

Writers see themselves as such because they have always liked to read and write a lot. - For example they have come to writing by many fateful reverses or a difficult medical history, - lasting for years. Some also tried to connect what they had read to their own painful experiences, - and to heal in a literary process... (dali48)

Pantheism is the view that the Universe (or Nature) and "God" (or divinity) are identical (see Cosmological Principles, etc. - d.48). Pantheists thus do not believe in a personal, or anthropomorphic god. The word derives from the Greek (pan) meaning "all" and the Greek (theos) meaning "God". As such, pantheism denotes the idea that "God" is best seen as a process of relating to the Universe. The central ideas found in almost all pantheistic beliefs are the view of the Cosmos as an all-encompassing unity, reverence for the Cosmos, and recognition of the sacredness of the Universe and Nature...

Physicalism is a strong form of metaphysical naturalism. This position was held by John Toland, Ernst Haeckel, D.H. Lawrence and Paul Harrison.
