Ecstacy of Saint Theresa

In learning to define shamanism, from an academic stance, Carolyn Dean quickly jumped on the bandwagon that denotes a sole requirement of being "nomadic" peoples. She supported this claim in crediting the word to the Tungus people, that originally inhabited much of modern day Siberia. These people originated in Northeast Asia, close to Manchuria. It was Catherine the Great, who was able to prevent the influx of "shamanistic" practices in Europe. Practicing nuns and preists were to remain white men and women prone to epileptic seizures. Already the divide between "mankind" and the indigene had begun.
Thanks to artists like Eduardo Carrillo, we are able to view ecstasy and consumption as it proliferates ethnic boundaries, in place to discount the spiritual nature of humankind. This compulsive willingness to deny oneness as the primary attractive force at work in natural selection does nothing to culture a tribe.
In breaking from the European way of discounting "utilitarian" material representations of being, we find abstract form with a primary connotative function. Coinciding signs of consciousness are infinite in studying any and all "tribes". I know its a vague expression of more of the same, what can I say I've got a one track mind. Mediate on this ya'll, fur realz. A quote from Carl Jung, the father of the contemporary science of religion, being inherently linked to the psyche:
In our heroes and masks we meet ourselves with a thousand faces

Here's the chopped and screwed condensation, for those of you that don't listen:
There's a town I know called Nevers
I never thought it could have happened to me
Stuck a pin in your backbone
Boy with a coin he found in the weeds

Oh, oh, oh brother totem pole
You've come around
I was a loner until there were no friends left
Girls don't go crazy

It's me versus you alone
People are wastedul, they waste all the food
The custom concern for the people is
Flame, beyond flame, beyond flame

Is that a fair enough point to be unwilling to support?
The agile white dwarf, Juedeo-monothesim, subtle monarchy bound to purport
(the couplet is to remind us of the call to form in obscuring structure)
