Elizabeth's and Shamantic!'s Journeying Journal - Middle-Realm shamanic consultation with Greek philosophers, still continuing

Extended historical shamanic journey and dream update: So far...I know that I and the Shamantic! Spirit-Team will be receiving attitude adjusting and energy-flow re-balancing 'symbol-power-container' gifts for me and this world - which could be anything - from several Greek philosophers who lived over an ordinary-reality span of 300 years or so during the often so-called and variously defined Golden Age of Greek Philosophy, a period that is also often defined in reference to the life of Socrates.  

The areas I wish to explore in ancient Greece are still variously roped, gated, or fenced off but the shamanic journeying portal vehicle shapeshifts various all-terrain features as needed.  I am moved by Spirit and Spirits to stand fast and wait longer - before attempting to storm through. 

Within this transitional, border realm I have been - for several non-ordinary days and nights-  conferring and negotiating with an enigmatic 'Pre-Socratic' guy who seems to bridge the Mythological and Pre-Socratic ages. Even though I appear to be detained, as if I present a problem to the beings within, I already sense beneficial, freeing shifts in my everyday thoughts, emotions, and attitudes around the modern false stoicism, cynicism, and skepticism I keep encountering journeying the WWW or city's narrow streets, the intention of this extended shamanic journey and dreaming. I must be receiving gifts in secret while I rest here.

During the latest episode of shamanic dreaming I found myself startled awake in the dream, shocked to find myself (my 'self') floating and treading liquid in the fatal dose of Hemlock consumed by Socrates! Myth or fact, this poison and decision to swallow must be - for me, somehow - a remedy and a key.
