Shamans and shamanizers are not always balanced

The most amazing shamans might not even be seeking illumination or enlightenment or any kind of righteousness!  There is a popular train of thought which links shamans and shamanizing to enlightenment seeking and realizing.  Would not a shaman likely be among the most integrated and balanced of individuals? 

I understand that there must be a really wide variety of shamans and shamanizers, so many powerful shamans might indeed be balanced, integrated, or enlightened to the max.  But I now ride a different train of throught, a less popular train I realize, and journey to seek out original shamans who live on the outskirts or perpetually travel, as ECSTATIC characters, even wild, weird, possibly unbalanced characters, who might be considered slightly frightening, possibly even frightful 'fringe characters' who thrill to use unbalance, chaos, dis-integration, and even monstrosity to full re-co-creative advantage. 

These foolish, crazy, or trickster types of shamans or shamanizers do recognize and participate in Beauty - of the more unconventional kinds, usually - and do know how to balance expertly, even if they find falling and bounding back more fun.  They may seem rude or riled or roiled upon occasion, or given to seeminly inexcusable excesses or gross mannerisms, or even appear unapproachable to those who fit better into society's norms.  (Every one of these stranger shamans is a true singularity - as all real shamans must be - so it is genuinely silly for me to write these approximate generalizations I am having so much fun with here.)

These days as a shaman-fool I seek out the wilder stunt performing shamans and daredevil shamanizers who might be lurking in plain sight, nearby or far away, within the shadowy or garish lighting effects of the ordinary.  Full-blown shamanic 'liberation' of the untamed kind may be right for only a very few earth voyagers, a diverse oddball bunch or circus band who do not even consider seeking liberation from universal life-recycling or finding more than a few days of rest anywhere, who revel through their wheeling reeling risky incarnations as just more shapeshifting practice, mainly for the FUN of it.  Along their ways these weirder shamans also gladly or grudgingly assist companion travelers - and settlers - with purposeful beneficial projects, on a case-by-case basis, also for the FUN of it.
