Lightning in My Blood/Shamanism and Lightning

I bought a book called , Lightning in My Blood a few weeks ago from a $2 book clearance sale from a big internet bookstore, not that I knew anything about the author, or his book, but because I'm interested in Shamanism and at two bucks it seemed worth a gamble.

I'm halfway through the book right now, so I can't really give my assessment about the book yet, but it's strangely compelling, but just how believable the author's stories are on a factual basis I have no idea, as thoughts of con-man authors such as Tuesday Lobsang Rampa are hard to shake off for me as I read along.

These stories James Endredy tells ring true on some level, even if he has just pinched the stories from other shamans on his travels and made them his own for the sake of selling a few books.

Anyway, this post was more about James writing that many people who become shamans only do so after surviving a lightning hit, or other such life-threatening situation.
Obviously, the guys in the above You Tube don't count as they didn't get hit by the lightning strike.

But it got me to thinking back to an earlier post of mine involving a radio DJ from Byron Bay getting an indirect hit from a lightning strike and whether I should follow his progress from now on to see if he goes the way of the shaman, or not.
