Maria Sabina brings a very big concept to the table, is our culture the only one who shuns different religions the way it would Maria Sabina? Religion to our society is sturctured, balanced, sober and often emotionless. Most people would look at Sabina and say there has to be something wrong with her, she’s chanting and screaming these meaningless non rhyming words. Once anyone where to confirm the fact that she ate a “mushroom” before performing/healing she would surely be dismissed without a second thought. I guess it just makes me wonder what is so different that our culture has become so close minded as opposed to other cultures, what has happened to us?
