tony's bio:

After living for several years in a Zen Buddhist monastery, Tony Samaraventured to the jungles of South America - to the Amazon and to the Andes - where he lived and studied among a community of Shamans.

After many years he was initiated in the sacred healing ways of these ancient peoples, and left South America to teach and share this deep wisdom with the world.

Tony Samara is now visited by people from all parts of the world and from all walks of life, seeking spiritual guidance or simply the experience of being in his presence.

He is a mirror of what is possible, a shining reminder of the endless potential of being human.

The completely natural state of joy and wisdom experienced as the heart opens to life is the remarkable path he expounds. The path that is free for everyone to experience.

Verbal dialogue is not the essence of his teachings, but he explains in a direct and simple way that everyone can understand, how each individual can practically integrate greater acceptance, peace and joy into their daily lives.

Tony teaches with humour, humility and with infinite patience, empowering the individual with courage, trust and inner strength to continue on this journey back into wholeness, a path that leads towards real freedom.

Like many spiritual teachers, Tony Samara is concerned with practical inner work and liberation. He teaches by personal example and instruction, guiding the seeker to realise bliss here and now, through growing spiritual awareness rather than mental effort.

Part of Tony's teachings remind us that food and eating are fundamental to our inner well being, as well as to our physical health. He explains in his many programmes that the body is our temple and that the food we eat helps us to create a strong foundation that allows inner work and transformation to take place. He also explains that food is not just a physical substance which nourishes the body but that it also contains spiritual and emotional energy. Hence the importance of being conscious and taking the time to be present when we are eating and to become more sensitive to what will nourish our body, our temple rather than eat only what we feel like eating.

Tony also encourages a balanced vegetarian diet which includes organic products that are full of life force.

Oh yeah, they called it instinct. Physiologist call it the flight response, well, assuming on the optic nerve of danger. Some people are sensitive to sound, some smell. It is in your gene, program to survive, I suppose.

How to judge/predict a good person from a bad person? How? some have the "gut instinct".

[UnitedPebbles]

Go outside and listen to the ambient of nature.

The stars movement also tell things, well according to most superstitious books.

You know when dogs knew ahead of danger? well some human have that capability. Some can smell it rather seeing it or analyze it.

You know that near death experience? it trigger some chemical change inside your body cause you to change into something.

Most people seem to forgot that human are biological as a dog or cat.

The one thing i want to point out is the shamanic belief regarding food. Plants derive there energy from the sun the sun is considered a pure source of energy. Animals get their energy from eating plants and other animals. Animals are not considered pure because their energy is tainted by sin so when you consume the animal you also consume their sin. Another way to put this is if an animal is sick you get sick!

In the video tony mentioned happiness, and joy but he left out bliss . As you progress along the spiritual path you experience three different states of mind a Happy state, a joyful state and finally a blissful state.

it is always wise never to confuse shamanism with a shaman, two completely different realities

chrisbass, as Tony said, native people, whether Sami or Amazonian, do eat meat but with respect for their environment. That is the gigantic gap we find between modern society where meat is bought in butcher's shops and supermarkets as a commodity taken for granted, and natural living where an animal is respected and honoured whether dead or alive.
