The nature of the experiences induced by shamans has long been a topic of considerable controversy. The experiences occuring during one of the major shamanic techniques, the shamanic journey, have been described in terms of various psychopathologies or as identical to the trancedent experiences of buddhism and yoga. Despite such claims, careful analysis reveals that shamanic journey experiences are distinct on several phenomenological dimensions. This article uses developmental analyses to assess whether shamanic experiences represent experiences at similar or different developmental stages as yogic and budhist experiences and concludes that although there is some overlap, there are also significant differences. The article then turns to current theories about the evolution of human consciousness. Different views of evolution are summarized, the possible evolution of transpersonal techniques and experiences is outlined, and the possible place of shamanic practitioners in this scheme is suggested.
