"The Shamanic impulse and the Shamanic experience is probably far older than that of institutional or organized religions. And it's this direct experience which I think is at the heart of all religion and all religious insight. And that's the starting point I think for all kinds of religion and it can be continually renewed through personal experience. And it's being renewed again today." - Rupert Sheldrake.
