We are like prisoners in a cave, staring grimly at the bare rock faces, where we perceive a moving shadow. They are the shadows of objects, which - are invisible to us - behind our backs and carried past by a large fire lit outside our horizon.
We turn around, and not explore the causes of the shadow, which is why we believe this to have a real world before us - the world of the senses.
But one of the prisoners to bring strength and courage to turn around and would rise out of the cave, he would recognize the objects, the cause of the vague silhouettes.
Who is that human who stands up, turns around and straight boils down to face the shadowy figures? Is it something of the shaman summons his spirits, the medicine man, the vision in mind look through by the people, the magician, who flies through the air and his body left behind half dead among themselves?
