redpill me on spirit/power animals

Well, they sure as heck didn't help the aboriginal peoples during their respective invasions, now didn't they?

>>18983821
That's cuz Western civ is unnatural, anti-Gaia. You can't tell someone to stop if they can't hear you and refuse to take their hands off their ears.

Just my two cents, but spirit/power animals could be thought of as a metacognitive technique to compress one's spiritual strengths into a more easily understood metaphor from a dynamic natural source and look at it from an outside or removed perspective.
In it's raw subjective state it's difficult to think about subtle spiritual qualities in a meaningful way due to the subject's abstract and ephemeral nature.

Thanks for this post, I like it

Well the Lion, Ox, Eagle, and Angel are representative of the four Evangelists and a classic example of a typical archetype Tetramorph. "Prometheus Rising" touches on these archetypes a bit.

>>18983821
Actually it did, it was one of the reasons why european invaders left some of the lost tribes of the amazonas alone.

It just takes a lot of time to train a shaman in jaguar taming, but horse riding took very little time.

>>18983862
This it's true for the shaman but the animal itself has it's own agenda.

I have only seen shamanic bird taming, but it's really amazing.

3. The Worship of Animals
85:3.1.Primitive man had a peculiar and fellow feeling for the higher animals. His ancestors had lived with them and even mated with them. In southern Asia it was early believed that the souls of men came back to earth in animal form. This belief was a survival of the still earlier practice of worshiping animals.
85:3.2.Early men revered the animals for their power and their cunning. They thought the keen scent and the farseeing eyes of certain creatures betokened spirit guidance. The animals have all been worshiped by one race or another at one time or another. Among such objects of worship were creatures that were regarded as half human and half animal, such as centaurs and mermaids.
85:3.3.The Hebrews worshiped serpents down to the days of King Hezekiah, and the Hindus still maintain friendly relations with their house snakes. The Chinese worship of the dragon is a survival of the snake cults. The wisdom of the serpent was a symbol of Greek medicine and is still employed as an emblem by modern physicians. The art of snake charming has been handed down from the days of the female shamans of the snake love cult, who, as the result of daily snake bites, became immune, in fact, became genuine venom addicts and could not get along without this poison.
85:3.4.The worship of insects and other animals was promoted by a later misinterpretation of the golden rule—doing to others (every form of life) as you would be done by. The ancients once believed that all winds were produced by the wings of birds and therefore both feared and worshiped all winged creatures. The early Nordics thought that eclipses were caused by a wolf that devoured a portion of the sun or moon. The Hindus often show Vishnu with a horse's head. Many times an animal symbol stands for a forgotten god or a vanished cult. Early in evolutionary religion the lamb became the typical sacrificial animal and the dove the symbol of peace and love.

You could have just said ancients were really into bestiality.

7. The Adjutants of Worship and Wisdom
85:7.1.Nature worship may seem to have arisen naturally and spontaneously in the minds of primitive men and women, and so it did; but there was operating all this time in these same primitive minds the sixth adjutant spirit, which had been bestowed upon these peoples as a directing influence of this phase of human evolution. And this spirit was constantly stimulating the worship urge of the human species, no matter how primitive its first manifestations might be. The spirit of worship gave definite origin to the human impulse to worship, notwithstanding that animal fear motivated the expression of worshipfulness, and that its early practice became centered upon objects of nature.
85:7.2.You must remember that feeling, not thinking, was the guiding and controlling influence in all evolutionary development. To the primitive mind there is little difference between fearing, shunning, honoring, and worshiping.
85:7.3.When the worship urge is admonished and directed by wisdom—meditative and experiential thinking—it then begins to develop into the phenomenon of real religion. When the seventh adjutant spirit, the spirit of wisdom, achieves effective ministration, then in worship man begins to turn away from nature and natural objects to the God of nature and to the eternal Creator of all things natural.

>but the animal has it's own agenda
In your opinion, does that arise from within the shaman in a tulpa-like way, or is the animal actually something separate from the shaman that enters into a symbiotic relationship with the shaman?
