1. Dude, sounds like the shrooms were most righteously excellent !

Not sure it has much real world significance.

That Perkins guy who wrote Economic Hitman said in another context that as a shaman, he could turn himself into a lizard or puma or something and cure cancer.

Whatever.

2. The significance is all internal.

Did you know Perkins is working with Pachamama? Quite the turnaround, from ruining small South American nations with loans to being a shaman.

3. I knew he was working with shamans. His claim to turn into a lizard makes me doubt Hitman

There's a lot in Hitman that doesn't make sense, but when I read that Perkins also claimed to be able to turn himself into an animal (not sure whether it was a lizard or a puma), it all seemed consistent.

Hint: I don't think he turned himself into a lizard. I don't think he was an "Economic Hitman."

4. That's a standard shamanic claim.

You're probably referring to Perkins' book Shapeshifting

Of course the claim doesn't make sense if one is purely rooted in this world.

Did I "turn into" a condor? From one perspective I didn't, from another I did. It depends which value framework is dominant when I answer the question. What is the sound of one wing flapping?
