Biogenetic structuralism is a useful theoretical
framework for discussing ritual, shamanic and magical
practices.
Interventions on the nervous system via chanting,
visualization, trance, ecstatic dancing, (all facets
of magical and shamanic practice) produces changes in
consiouscness. Practitoners make the claim that these
changes lead to changes in external phenomenon.
Biogenetic structuralism is a very useful framework
for discussing these issues. Give it a look if you
find it interesting. I've found it very useful.
