On a more personal note, the author reflects in this chapter about limitations of his own worldview centered on Western science’s materialism. After repeatedly witnessing and experiencing moving situations where Catimbó/Jurema Sagrada practitioners in trance gave advice and comfort to those suffering, he faces the dilemma about how to narrate these close encounters with spiritual manifestations in apparent contradiction with his tennets and principles as a science journalist. What does it say about the researcher or reporter who insist on remaining detached from ancient forms of dealing with natural forces that science cannot explain away nor control? Even when vivid experiences with shamans are not enough to convert the skeptic, is she or he entitled to dismiss what has been witnessed as mere products of false beliefs, underdeveloped spirituality, lack of material evidence, primitive animism? Science journalism should raise above the judgmental attitude, he concludes.
