Well, I would only add the inserted addenda and correction to make it a
true statement- (The 'traditional' magician saws a lady in half....)
>The [shamanic] magician cultivates an

>precisely in order to make [the claim of] contact with the other organic
forms of
>sensitivity and awareness with which [he also claims] human existence is
entwined.

Nice pun, BTW.
