There are many paths to God, so there is just one path to God. Pentecostalism and emotional healing are close to shamanism, whilst the more established church is cerebral. There are the quiet paths, the reflective paths, the rhythmic paths of ritual, the unadorned paths of the ascetics, the ecstatic paths, and yes, the wild paths of the shamans. All are paths leading ultimately to God.
