I appreciate the image you offer of the soul being porous like a cloud - not a very western image, but certainly something I have experienced in Seidr practice, psychic mediumship, and other styles of shamanic practice. I also love your words here, "This also connects to the spiritual concept that human beings are multi-dimensional and that there is more to us than even we ourselves know." 20 years ago I never would have guessed how much spiritual practice would result in such a pervading sense of mystery and not-knowing, and just knowing that there is so much more going on that we could ever know of understand... and I love this.
Thank you for reading and sharing your reflections. In some ways more ancient cultures were wiser than we were today. (Generally speaking they were also far more cruel!)
Thank you for sharing this. It gives me great comfort. I remember the first time my power animal shifted. It was alarming to me cause I had been so limited in my view of what they could do. Shapeshifting continues to be a freeing and odd experience for me, not just my power animal. I remember one time during a journey I was so focused on a huge stone I slipped inside it and felt my entire being become the stone. That was a doozy. Again, thank you.
Like you, I don't think that I will ever regret coming fully into my own tradition, where the footsteps of the ancestors have led before me. May your course go well: I know everyone will learn the power of the high seat!

Thank you! Shapeshifting and merging are both techniques that can expand our consciousness overnight and change us forever!

Oh yes, they will! Thank you!
