I thought the:

you first posted was excellent
ImthatIm … excellent!
The direction of my thought-train as well.
Have to listen to it again.
At the end there he told a story about entering into the “Multiverse”. (2:09:12)
Heh.
That is the
most common shamanic worldview
multidimensional experience – absolutely no mushrooms necessary (no colours, just straight up ordinary vision).
So common are they in fact - they are considered ‘normal’ and since
everybody has them nothing
sooo ‘special’ is attached to them, nor the experiencer.
You just take note of them – then let go, because mind can conjure up all kinds of scenarios (like what he did, because he is not used to them).
Also, the more one applies one’s self to the shamanic worldview, the more one experiences them.

I enjoyed the Russian documentary as well. It touched my heart – of course.
Some notes:
With the Orthodox hymn at the beginning, I was once more reminded how the old Orthodox Church protected us; - therefore the
living connection to the shamanic worldview wasn’t severed. So, so grateful for that.
Those birch bark masks I remember from childhood and from bear ceremony re-enactments:

Nothing fantastic about them like the Inuit or Salish Coast masks, which are amazing.
The bringing offerings and ribbons to “Holy Trees”, is also familiar as is recognizing them
‘other-dimensionally’ within a landscape.
Divination, although Saami uses the drum and Karels a sieve.
“We are all one – that is why we live this way.”
And of course, one cannot separate the shamanic worldview from people, culture, because everything connects to it.
“I felt like I was a single grain of sand and the power of my ‘grandfather’ was like a huge mountain.
I understood that even though I’d had eyes, I couldn’t see, even though I’d had ears I couldn’t hear "…
Yep, yep, that is it when one wakes up.
Shaman having human nature and animal nature & between genders.
And there is a connection between Shamanism and Tibetan Vajrayana Buddhism, it is not just “New Age potpourri” ….
“Yuri is a descendant of the black Shamans”
Black Shaman isn’t black, because he/she is ‘evil’, but because they work within the Lower World. Curious … A Saami shamanic chant came to mind …
”The perch is my bird – the snake my dog”.
The Tuvans seem to use smudge a lot, whereas I only know about that whirling tool.
Amazing how many animal-spirit-helpers that one Shaman had. It is not the objects themselves, but one’s other-dimensional connection to those ‘familiars’.
“Stones preserve information/knowledge”.
Tourists writing things on stones
