Shamanic Ceremonies
Ani Sheati at Santa Rosita, 2001
“Other Worlds/ D´Autres Mondes is an intriguing and well-lensed first-person introduction to the parallel universe that some Amazonian indigenous peoples consider to be ‘reality.’ Jan Kounen (Blueberry) went through more than 100 sacred-plant elixir sessions with a shaman during four years. Blending talking heads with heady imagery, film makes an excellent case for the meeting up of contemporary science and ancient wisdom.” – Variety
“My film Dobermann allowed me to express my visceral anti-establishment convictions with a joy usually reserved for bad, little kids. After that, I started thinking that the time had come for me to examine the reality of my joyfully chaotic existence and to ponder my place in the universe.
While researching Blueberry in the jungles of Peru I met Questembetsa; the Master Shaman for 45,000 Shipibo Conibo natives. Under his protective watch, I participated in ceremonies and experienced what can be characterized as a ‘near death experience.’ Once my initiation began, it would continue for over a year. Other Worlds shows the therapeutic power of the Shamans and their plants. This power is a type of ancestral psychoanalysis or human psychotherapy backed by thousands of years of experience and practice. It shows how their cultures and their belief systems culminate from their knowledge of the Invisible. CGI sequences reproduce the recurring visions brought about by the sacred plants.
In conclusion, I personally guarantee this film will not turn out to be a new age Sermon on these natives and their culture. – Jan Kounen
What is Everything Else?
Everything Else is a product category on Amazon that is meant to be a catch-all for items that don’t fit into any other categories. Over time, as the Amazon catalog has grown and more specific product categories have been added, Everything Else has become less useful and more of a junkyard for cast off and forgotten listings.
Until recently, however.
Why are items listed in Everything Else when they shouldn’t be?
The answer to this is fairly simple. Some sellers are using Everything Else as an opportunity to get around Amazon’s gated category requirements. For example, DVDs with an MSRP of over $25 are now gated Selling certain products and bran… More and require permission to list. So we’ve seen some sellers create new listings in Everything Else to get around these requirements. We’ve noticed similar “workarounds” for other gated or restricted Selling certain product categorie… More categories as well.
Amazon doesn’t like this. It just makes the catalog more of a mess than it already is and ends up creating a worse customer experience.
