A Talk about the ecstatic aspects of the ancient teachings with the author of The Reluctant Shaman
There are many ideas associated with the word ecstasy in our culture, so it’s a bit tricky to use it to describe the ancient teachings and practices.
Very little of the thoughtform that most of us have learned to associate with that word applies when it comes to the shamanic teachings and initiations of Ka Ta See.
One description comes close, “an overwhelming feeling of great happiness or joyful excitement.”
In the shamanic ways the word is used to convey the high vibrational reality of everything in existence.
Ka Ta See is a tradition of finding and living in that ecstatic reality in which we don’t just know our aliveness and connection with everything and the ecstatic dance of exchange of love and beauty and aliveness like an electric charge only this form of charge doesn’t hurt or kill you, it puts your being into a state of ecstatic aliveness and beauty, we aim to live in that state of beauty because in the end, that is the nature of life.
In these ancient ways of Ka Ta See there are no mind altering drugs involved, ever. We come to that place of living in ecstatic beauty by raising our consciousness without the use of any substances.
One of the best places to start to get a sense of what that form of experiencing the aliveness and connectedness to all life is the initiation of The Journey To The Crystal Cave.
This initiation offers a very real activation of a crucial part of the brain for waking our ability to more clearly be able to experience the exchanges offered in the realm of the spirit world.
In the process, it introduces the seeker to experiencing what the ecstatic reality of being alive and connected and in constant exchange of love and beauty and healing and happiness with everything truly
feels like.
Living in the ecstatic beauty of life is another one of those things that we have been programmed to not pay any attention to because it is a direct line to being awake as a human.
Getting us to turn our attention away from it and cramming it full of nonsensical stuff was in large part achieved by getting us to turn off our senses and stop paying hardly any attention to them.
The Crystal Cave initiation is a big offer to begin reversing all that’s been done to us in keeping us asleep and bring our being alive again toward the ecstatic knowingness and experience of our life and the aliveness of all the beings and life around us.
It is quite literally the magic key to go from being offline to bringing ourselves online again within the vibrational reality of the field of life.
That initiation alone offers you the opportunity to change your way of being in the world forever. It offers you to go from your sense being dulled to a bare minimum level necessary to stay alive to being truly alive.
Chea describes that aliveness of it all so beautifully.
“The unfathomable beauty, the joy, the extraordinary amount and feeling of exchange with other forms. It is a human heritage.
"Life is poetic," she smiled, "with all its gracefulness and passionate depth. The rush and play of loving. The impregnation of daylight. The extravagancy of darkness. It is living poetry.”

"Is that what your tradition is going to teach me? To pursue this unknown?"
"One can pursue forever and never catch," Chea said, imitating running with two fingers going round and round in front of her. "We teach you how to catch.”
