Hello everyone,

Im a new member and would greatly appreciate it if anyone could explain the following experience to me or provide me with any insights with which to understand the symbolism behind this recent experience. I was walking beside a river and had a strange tingling and felt as though my state of reality was altering, i rushed home and sat in my room and began to drum on some bongos which a friend had left lying around (Not something I have ever used before). Suddenly I was aware that i had changed into a small boy with orangeish skin and dark thick roughly chopped hair, I felt that this boy was frightened and apprehensive. (I was still aware of being myself and in my room but it was though there was a movie screen in front of me and i could see and feel that two, as if there were two seperate realities merging into one. The boy -(Myself) was in a lush rainforest and a shadowy spirit like figure of an older man passed me an animal skin which I did not want around me - (Probably something to do with being a veggie in the here and now) The animal skin was feline and very dark and as it fell upon me i could feel the sensation of it merging with my body and my heart beat increaswed, my vision and hearing also heightened.  I slowly merged with the animal skin and felt myself moving as if on all fours, then curiosuly i was walking with two large paws in front of me, the strange thing is that i was also druming and fully aware of that reality too, as i drummed in one reality the animal me walked in perfect unison with the rythm of the drumming.  I felt a total and complete oneness with both parts of myself and the sensation of becoming the animal was very vivid I could feel, hear, see and smell as though i was that animal.  Eventually I felt light headed and the animal reality ceased and I was left very dazed and feeling very close to the ground, and heavy as if I had been astral travelling.  The animal was very dark almost black with spots like a jaguar.  Now all of this happened in a waking state and has puzzled me for some time as it was not a visulisation or meditation as it commenced whilst I was out in the sunshne enjoying a walk in the countryside.

Anyway apologies for the lenghty account and I hope that someone would be kind enough to maybe help me to understand the bizzare experience.

Kindest Regards

Love and light

Dear all,

Im a new member and recently posted this query on the OBE site but feel that maybe you guys may have an insight into the following. I know that its not shape shifting but could possibly be a link to understanding or discovering my totem?

Colin,

I just read your account and was very intrigued, I agree with the other posts that the drugs may have precipitated the experience by allowing you deeper access to the true core part of yourself. But again the analytical head mode kicked in.  Maybe the blockage is the fear, in part of accepting your ability to overcome and allowing yourself to open up to the totality of your being and accepting this. (Apologies if this appears overbearing and smug, it is just a random suggestion)

Drugs tend to open the chakras to a degree, as though your being has been slowly peeled away but I guess the head part of the self kicks in as a form of protection.  Maybe the journey is meant to be a natural  process which relies upon all the integral parts of your being harmonizing like an orchestra, imagine each instrument raising your energy and vibrating each chakra in tune reaching a different pitch that is unique but part of a greater sound. All parts building and forming together slowly and consciously.

The experience sounds very powerful and it strikes me how much you stayed with it despite the internal dialogue and exchange between your inner and outer emotions. This indicates that you are well on your way to finding the mechanism with which to calm the mind in order to experience the freedom of allowing yourself to just be without your fears halting your progress. Its a cliché but the journey of how ever many miles began with one step.

Many thanks for sharing your account.

Colin,

Happy New Year to you and many thanks for your response. Maybe it is past life regression I have always had an affinity with South America.  In response to your query, I am definitely a complete novice when it comes to visions etc but have had several very powerful experiences. I used to meditate regularly but found myself astral traveling and I guess the fear of the unknown and my own ignorance of the subject halted my progress.  Have found that when I meet people for the first time I do seem to be able to tap into their auras and past links and how that affects their present situation but rarely mention these things, as I do not wish to infringe upon anyone's privacy.  Though sometimes the connection is instant and two ways, have found that with friendships etc this helps both parties to understand the very nature of our link and purpose.

As for magical practice, have read widely regarding magic but only ever utilize this knowledge when visualizing a positive outcome for future events. How about you, how do you view your own journey?

Hope this answers your questions and once again many thanks for your input.

Love and Light
