What 27 Years of Shamanism Taught Me About the Catholic Mass: And why I’ve returned to the Church with greater depth, understanding and devotion than ever

This text explores the profound spiritual parallels between Q’ero shamanism and Catholicism, suggesting they are diverse cultural expressions of a singular divine technology for soul healing. The author, a long-time shamanic practitioner, argues that the Catholic Mass functions as a highly refined healing session where rituals like the Eucharist and Confession mirror indigenous practices of purification and energy clearing. By highlighting shared concepts such as sacred space, spiritual protection, and the role of Jesus as a supreme healer, the narrative seeks to bridge the gap between ancient traditions and modern religious liturgy. Ultimately, the sources suggest that both paths converge on the transformation of humanity into a more luminous state, driven by the belief that self-giving love and divine communion are stronger than death.Explore Jon's new related web-based App:  https://veritaslifeguide.appYour personal Catholic guide for life's questions.
