In fact, they would insist that the very proposal involves a category-mistake, a misapplication and abuse of the very concept of reality. Rather than defining objective reality in terms of an inaccessible and ungraspable beyond, phenomenologists would argue that the right place to locate objectivity is in, rather than beyond, the appearing world.”

“To, co nás zneklidňuje, je ve skutečnosti naše víra v 'objektivní' svět, naše moderní mentalita, která si říká racionální. Pořád se tváříme jako distancovaní pozorovatelé jevů, které pokládáme za vnější a jejichž fungování chceme zmapovat ve zřetelných obrysech. V rámci 'šamanské' mentality k podobným problémům vůbec nedochází. Nenacházíme tu ani pozorující subjekt, ani pasivní objekt - jediné, co existuje, je svět, sen plný hemžících se znaků a symbolů, pole vzájemných interakcí, kde se stýkají nejrůznější síly a vlivy. V takovém kontextu nezáleží na tom, jestli jsou operace staré léčitelky 'reálné', nebo ne.”

“To combat the sin of self-sufficiency, we need a special kind of faith. It's what I call Starbucks Rest Room Faith. Almost every Starbucks store has a sensor that controls the light in the rest room. You can't just flip a switch, and you can't make it go on by just waving your arm inside the door. You have to put your whole body into that dark room and trust that the light will come on as you enter. Faith in God is a lot like that. He doesn't offer a safety net, He doesn't let us hedge our bets, and He doesn't give any guaranteed results ahead of time. We have to be all in before the light comes on.”
