Pinball, welcome to the site. You'll find it very useful to move you along with LD.
Also I have some experience with shamonic journeying, etc. Actually did a workshop with Michael Harner some years ago in Norwalk, Ct. Learned journeying with an apprentice of his who now is teaching in Maine. Have been away from journeying for some years now but am looking to reconnect with that part of myself. Still have all the drumming tapes, etc.
