Poetry, Fiction, & Travel
- The Day After Death with Seņor de Qoyllurrit'y.
This poem was written after a journey to the annual festival of
Qoyllorrit'y in Peru in 1994 with several companions studying
Andean mysticism. The paper,
Beyond Tourism: Travel with Shamanic Intent explains more
of the formal intent of the journey. The poem describes something
of my subjective journey.
- Pain and Surgery: The Shamanic Experience.
“In this paper Arthur Colman brings us a chilling view into
the world of pain, surgery and healing. Through various means
of active imagination—and finally its apotheosis in a full-scale
shamanic journey that was all too close to physical death on the
surgical table instead of ego death in the psyche—Arthur
brought the healing power of shamanism into the antiseptic rooms
of a modern hospital.”
From the Foreword by Donald Sandner, editor of The Sacred
Heritage (Routledge, 1997).
