The term shamanism in this article does not refer to various not-so-positive currents of esotericism that lack common sense, such as esoteric spiritualism and the absence of a healthy degree of critical thinking, but rather to the teachings of the original tribal South American shamans.
I perceive atheism as an outdated and obsolete worldview.
In times when the church had great power, the philosophy of humanism-atheism was of great importance. Atheism brought at least a little common sense and was an alternative to church religion.
This article is primarily intended for people from the Czech Republic, where the egregore of religion is particularly strong. However, this article is enriching for everyone. While in Slovakia, the fact that some higher intelligence transcends us is considered a matter of course, in the Czech Republic it is not so much a matter of course.
Elements that connect atheism and shamanism. Positive aspects of atheism
There are several elements that connect shamanism and atheism.Atheism can be seen as a worldview much closer to the truth than religion. Religion enslaves a person to a very strong extent in their personal life and makes them very unfree.
While religion teaches a person to suppress reason within themselves, shamanism and atheism, on the contrary, encourage the use of reason. A certain shamanic scholar even describes shamans as very skeptical people who reject the nonsense of religion or some esoteric ramblings.
Indeed, from the perspective of shamanism, religion is considered something similar to how it is viewed from the perspective of atheism. Christians/Muslims live in a virtual world, which is enhanced by the egregore of religion; they are people outside of reality.
I think that the average atheist is closer to the truth than God, than a crazy, over-spiritualized and conceited esotericist. Furthermore, the average atheist is, in my opinion, more morally and ethically based than a fraudulent esotericist who charges exorbitant money for his courses, imagines his exceptional abilities, manipulates people, or performs fraudulent healing at an inflated price.
While religion divides people, atheism does not.
Imagine a married couple where one partner is an atheist and the other is an esotericist. Different beliefs do not divide this married couple, and they can get along harmoniously. In the Czech Republic, there are many such couples without it causing any problems. Or imagine a married couple of two atheists, but after some time, one of the spouses converts to esotericism. Again, this is not a reason for it to cause problems in the marital relationship; the marital relationship continues just as harmoniously as before. And there are many such examples in the Czech Republic as well.
What about religion? No fun. If there is a married couple where both are practicing Christians and one of them converts to esotericism, suddenly hell breaks loose and such a thing would undoubtedly end in divorce. Religion is evil. Religion divides people.
Evolution vs. Creationism. Atheism vs. Religion. Atheism vs. Intelligent Design
We can find many websites that deal with the polemics and discussion between evolutionary and creationist theory. Personally, I do not agree with either of these views. The websites of creationists and the views of creationist scientists are really interesting and worth studying. Many arguments can indeed be taken into account, and it is true that it is worth looking at evolutionary theory skeptically. I think that evolutionary theory should not be called a theory but a hypothesis, because this theory has many gaps and weaknesses. While all scientific theories had to undergo strong criticism, evolutionary theory is an exception: it lacks the criterion of scientificity because skeptical-critical arguments were not given sufficient space in the scientific community.The arguments of the critics of evolution are too strong to consider this theory to be true. It seems that explaining the origin of the Universe and life on Earth with atheistic-materialistic philosophy has failed.
On the other hand, the theory of creationism is purely religious: creationists take the Bible literally and believe that the history of the Earth was really according to the Bible, including the flood and the salvation of mankind by Noah in the ark. Such a thing can be considered absurd nonsense. An interesting theory of creationists, which seems to make sense, is the theory of the young Earth, the theory of the young origin of coal, or the life of humans parallel to dinosaurs. For example, creationists argue that archaeological objects were found in coal, or human and dinosaur skeletons were found next to each other.
Furthermore, there is the theory of intelligent design, which I personally acknowledge. The problem, however, is that this theory has been misused by churches for their promotion and agitation. And the fact that there is some Great Intelligence does not automatically mean that the Christian idea of God is true! The real God is something completely different from the religious idea.
If a person uses reason, they must come to the conclusion that there must be some Intelligence behind existence that transcends us. Just look at the beauty of nature. Fanatical atheists use reason very little.
Atheism as an egregore
In the previous article, I described the egregore of religion in detail. I highly recommend this article to atheists as well. The Egregore of Religion: A Deep Understanding of Christianity. (Highly recommended)There is not only the egregore of religion but also the egregore of atheism. The problem is that the egregore makes a person unfree. An atheist, although he may be strongly convinced of the truth of atheism, does not really realize that he is a victim of the egregore. The atheist does not realize that he is not entirely free in his conviction.
The egregore of atheism is strongest mainly in the Czech Republic, where the atheist population is most concentrated, or in Great Britain. In the past, atheism was a great step forward – an alternative to Christianity finally emerged – nowadays it is not such a step forward and atheism can be perceived as outdated.
The egregore of atheism was strengthened mainly during the socialist era, when atheism was the official state philosophy of a strong state.
Parallel Dimensions: Shamanism vs. Atheism
According to shamanism, the world is multi-dimensional; there are countless types of worlds and realities. Each dimension has its own frequency. Each type of dimension has its own frequency. It is interesting, by the way, that in shamanism there is also such a physical concept as frequency. It is interesting that shamans have known about frequencies for thousands of years. If a shaman wants to look at a certain specific type of world, they must first tune their consciousness to that frequency.However, the multi-dimensional universe is not spirituality, esotericism, or mysticism.
Former CERN Vice-President, quantum physicist Branislav Sitár, speaks quite openly about the existence of parallel universes, thus supporting the shamanic worldview. He says that this world is just a projection, not reality. What we see is almost nothing; in reality, the visible world is formed by the action of invisible universes. This world is just a projection created by Higgs bosons. And Higgs bosons are particles with great mass – meaning they create this reality with even greater density than this world. Shamanism also states that everything, including matter, is composed of energy. Mr. Sitár also says in the program that at CERN, they are able to produce any atom, and thus matter, from energy. According to modern physics, matter is energy, literally and figuratively.

While in official scientific circles the shamanic multi-dimensional view of the world is considered a possible hypothesis, in the future it may be a scientific fact.
Furthermore, shamans have been saying for thousands of years that all existence, the universe, is made of energy and tiny particles. This is absolutely shocking because it is in line with modern science. How could they have known this so long ago?
Arguments suggest that shamanism is not just blind faith, but something in complete harmony with science. Calling shamanism a science is not an exaggeration.
The weakness of atheism: atheism cannot explain the functioning of religion
Religion is a mysterious phenomenon. How can 2 billion Christians believe in absurd religious dogmas that are in complete contradiction with common sense and consider them to be the highest truth of God? How is it possible that such a huge number of people can be wrong? How is it possible that 1.5 billion Muslims believe in such a terribly destructive religion and consider it to be God's truth?The weakness of atheism is that these things cannot be explained by atheistic philosophy!! In contrast, shamanism has a very clear and logical explanation for this, that there is a collective manipulative field, an egregore, that controls people. Atheism cannot explain how our world works (specifically how world religions work), while shamanism gives a clear, logical answer to this. Atheism is not a philosophy based on truth.
