I’m with what your saying, but it’s easier said than done. People react differently to their psychedelic experiences so trying to teach someone how to handle a trip can be tricky. And make no mistake, we already do act as “shaman” for the people looking for these experiences. Actually, we kinda teach people how to be “shaman”. I watched a show on Netflix that explained it perfectly. The role of traditional shaman were to assist the people seeking these experiences by safely identifying and preparing the “sacraments” needed (which we do by identifying entheogenic substance and teaching extraction and preparation methods), the next step was showing the seeker how to properly ingest the “sacraments” (which we do by teaching smoking techniques and different ways to administer these substances whether it be oral, intravenous, or inhalation), then the final role of the shaman was to walk the seeker through their experience the way ground control walks an astronaut through traveling through space, (which we do by providing our experience reports and providing quality information on ego death and all other things someone may experience while tripping). So if you look at things from this standpoint we already are ten steps ahead of you . You just have to try to veiw things from a more modern veiw rather than the old terms like “shaman” .. anyways hopefully this helps clarify what the nexus really does for ya.
