Shamanic Seeing — "The
Refried Beans Chicken!"
Beans, beans the magical legume!
The more beans you eat,
the less meat you consume!
The more beans you consume,
the better you feel!
So, let's have beans for every meal!
The image illustrating this "Shamanic Seeing" post is from a can of refried beans that I opened! And I noticed there was a design that looked to me like a chicken in a sort of 'abstract' way and, hence, the title of this post!

My Writing About Beans The Magical Legume: Beans, beans the magical legume! The more beans you eat, the less meat you consume! The more beans you consume, the better you feel! So, let's have beans for every meal! –Paul Whiting (written March 14th, 2015 and revised December 2nd, 2022)
My Writing Notes:
The reason that I wrote this poem (with prose) can be summed up with the following statement: "Shamanic Seeing" is basically the same thing as the Rorschach test in that you are "seeing" what's in your subconscious mind!
In other words, it's just like when you were a child and you saw "a monster in your closet" at night, rather than seeing that "the monster" was simply the contents of your closet in the dark.
Thus, "Seeing Shamanically" is essentially the same thing: it is simply seeing a pattern in something abstract like patterns in processed foods—and having that mean something to you a metaphorical way—as it represents some part of your subconscious mind.
And this poem (with prose) was also published on my "Poet, Artist and Philosopher" blog (please see the hyperlink below for the blog), since I feel that the message in this poem (with prose) applies to the message I am trying to convey through "Poet, Artist and Philosopher."
This poem (with prose) was written in Portland, Oregon.
