Tribal people spend an immense amount of time making sure the feeling is right, either by sweats, rituals, dances, or feasts. There are anthropological studies that say tribal people spend about 30 percent of their time doing what we would call working and the rest of the time preparing and performing rituals, dances, and ceremonies. Why do they do that? They do that so their feeling is in right relation with the world they're in.
