Although the bodies of man have changed dramatically as a result of the planetary ascension (man is unique as a species in that he is the microcosm of the macrocosm), speaking about them as they were used to be is helpful in making some observations.

 

The seventh body of man was comprised of trillions of light fibers. A ball of light, the size of a tennis ball, illuminated some of those fibers (called an assemblage point), determining the reality that person experienced. The light fibers represented all realities within the cosmos. This ball, for a person not yet in ascended mastery (see the evolutionary stages from Secrets of the Hidden Realms) was located on arm’s length behind the shoulder blades.

 

To experience the world of animals, a Nagual or Shaman would move his assemblage point downward to a position, known as the “band of the beast”, the reality of animals.

 

This technique would change the man’s or woman’s body into that of an animal: a practice known as shapeshifting. Done repetitively, the shaman would get more and more of the animal’s characteristics. This was not helpful, nor conducive, to the glorious destiny of man’s evolution into higher realms or ascension. In stages of mastery, the assemblage point actually moves upwards.

 

The purpose in the original, ancient Earth magic of accessing the realms of animals is not to use them as external allies, nor to “absorb” powers and skills from them – purposes used by modern shamans. The original, undiluted purpose was instead as follows:

 

• Because man is a combination or synthesis of all other kingdoms on Earth, experiencing an animal without compromising the level of consciousness and integrity of the human, we are experiencing parts of ourselves

• As we appreciate the animal's specific characteristics, those qualities become enhanced within ourselves – they “light up” as it were

• The 72 Gateways to the Animal Kingdoms enlarge this effect and make the animal more accessible

• The Wheel of Integrity safeguards the integrity of our humanness so that we may experience them without compromise

• The appreciation helps that animal species thrive

 

Technique

Whether you are able to see or be close to the animal or not, send your attention:

 

1. Through the Wheel of Integrity, then

 

2. Through the specific gateway into the animal (imagined or real)

 

3. Feel as though you have become the animal and appreciate its unique gifts
