Your post is really well done, I'm sorry I missed the voting window. I'll follow you for more.

I've studied Core Shamanism for many many years and live from that perspective in most ways so I find your ways of framing these concepts fun to read. I've accessed my Akashic Records (and many other energetic planes) via the ritual of the transcendent journey but it's been a long time. Your post makes me think that maybe I'd like to do it again sooner than later!
