The forms of contemporary society and politics are often understood to be diametrically opposed to any expression of the supernatural; what happens when those forms are themselves regarded as manifestations of spirits and other occult phenomena? In Not Quite Shamans, Morten Axel Pedersen explores how the Darhad people of Northern Mongolia's remote Shishged Valley have understood and responded to the disruptive transition to postsocialism by engaging with shamanic beliefs and practices associated with the past.For much of the twentieth century, Mongolia's communist rulers attempted to eradicate shamanism and the shamans who once served as spiritual guides and community leaders. With the transition from a collectivized economy and a one-party state to a global capitalist market and liberal democracy in the 1990s, the people of the Shishged were plunged into a new and harsh world that seemed beyond their control. "Not-quite-shamans"—young, unemployed men whose undirected energies erupted in unpredictable, frightening bouts of violence and drunkenness that seemed occult in their excess— became a serious threat to the fabric of community life. Drawing on long-term fieldwork in Northern Mongolia, Pedersen details how, for many Darhads, the postsocialist state itself has become shamanic in nature.In the ideal version of traditional Darhad shamanism, shamans can control when and for what purpose their souls travel, whether to other bodies, landscapes, or worlds. Conversely, caught between uncontrollable spiritual powers and an excessive display of physical force, the "not-quite-shamans" embody the chaotic forms—the free market, neoliberal reform, and government corruption—that have created such upheaval in peoples' lives. As an experimental ethnography of recent political and economic transformations in Mongolia through the defamiliarizing prism of shamans and their lack, Not Quite Shamans is an attempt to write about as well as theorize postsocialism, and shamanism, in a new way.

Modern science has proven that reality is precisely designed to use a multilayered network of information processing systems to sculpt an immortal force we call energy into intelligent beings. You are this immortal force bought to life as the ultimate information processing system to perceive, explore and revel in the beauty of this design. Science has proven that both the physical and mental dimensions of reality are information processing systems from top to bottom. These layers of interlocking information processing systems are so complex, intricate and precise that it can easily be shown that it is mathematically impossible that this magnificent design could be the result of a series of incredibly fortunate random accidents. The book discusses the mystical beauty and elegant complexity of the entire design that modern science has actually discovered, from the bizarre choreography of the subatomic world to the necessity and beauty of consciousness, our mental "superpowers" and the glory of the mental dimension that we create and inhabit. Faced with this scientific proof of intelligent design atheists have scrambled to protect their worldview. They have had to totally abandon our scientific knowledgebase and are currently hiding behind a diversionary smokescreen they have dreamt up that ridiculously claims that "everything happens somewhere" in an infinity of other universes that they have imagined. The author, who had been an atheist for most of his life, presents a compelling, easy to read argument that all of modern science's evidence describes an intelligently designed multilayered information processing system with a beautiful purpose, you.
