The Myth of Power Animals and Totems: Let Them Choose

The telling of our history authentically goes hand in hand with removing objects that keep us anchored to the past. So that we can fully meet ourselves, in both light and shadow. Only by doing this will we remove the incredibly low bar of having to have these objects around so that we won't forget the atrocities we perpetrated against members of our own species. As well, we can remove any obstacles of thinking about our Animal relatives that keep us separate from them. They're uncomfortable, actually, with being in a place of power as we perceive them to be. Because it means that we claim them for ourselves rather than honor who they are and moreover, respect our relationship with them: Earthlings on a planet who are united in service to each other. The more you can let them lead rather than try to figure out their meaning is when their true essence comes forth as a mirror to your own.
