In the study of beliefs and traditional thinking it is not often recognised that it is a philosophical study of empirical facts with both a psychological and physical impact on people crossing over several generations that has to be considered. Remove the barrier of the skin and we come closer to what kind of experience I refer to. Just like what we call science, but with personal experience used as its main body of communication with phenomena. This is the approach of people to the forces experienced in their environment which is the sources of traditional life. It is the awareness of the backgroundforms of these forces that are studied, which are then approached by the visionary traditions that formulate both ours and their beliefs. Language is metaphorically used in a pictorial narrative to describe the occurences of this mutual interaction, and its coherency with experienced similarities over long periods of time. It has also to be recognised that this is not common to all individuals. There is always only a small number of people with these abilities that carry on this kind of work. Which is evident in our world today too. This kind of psychological insights is not commonplace, not even today. It has never been. I think it is so because of what must be personally endured to get there. What I think is of great importance in this, is the early experience of a psychic totality of nature in a greater sense, of which everything in an individual’s life is part as something both within, and without. Where our skin is not a barrier to experience the world. It is more of a continual relationship that is strengthened and developed in clear personal phases during an individual life in traditional contexts. That experience is both its physical center and its psychological totality. In the sense of a reciprocal relationship to a world in constant creation and related to cosmos. This totality is a psychically experienced and jointly shared container found in everything, and also something tangible that constantly affects all life in and around us. By having this present and shared by generations within a community, a psychological continuity is maintained because it is defined as part of both humans and the surrounding nature. Outside of this there is confusion, exclusion in the sense of a personal loss of an inner center in an external shared psychological context, which in turn leads to madness. It is in this way that I imagine that many indigenous peoples with traditional knowledge look at the rest of the world today. I share this view with them.
