I have a intence imagination and sometimes I dont now if I'm thinking in my mind, talking to something I thought up or my animal guide, or something else. Would someone help me?
As part of a Native American tribe my spirit name is "White Cloud" I won't explain what it means and why because that is personal, but I expected to be some kind of bear when the elder was going to give me my name because most of the tribe thought I was going to be a bear. I think self discovery is the hardest magick to perform because it requires you to be objective and it is quite possible that most people acquire their spirit animal in part of their own desires for themselves than self actualization. That doesn't mean that self desire can't become self actualization so there is no harm in choosing a spirit animal to guide them that fits their desires in helping them actualize who they want to be. So, it's all good.
I have often wondered how people know for a FACT what their spirit animal is. All of my life dragonflies have always been around me and many times they would land right on me. I figure that's my spirit animal but I don't know for sure. In my journey over thge years I have come up with my own belief system regarding "spirit animals" which is that ALL animals can be your spirit guide at certain points if you can recognize the signs. For instance if you dream of a wolf it means such and such and if you see dragonflys around it is telling you to another thing. Depending on the animal association or correspondence there is a different point you are being told. I guess you could have a sprit guide or guides as well along with the signs from the others but from my experience you have countless animal guides through life if you can open your eyes and notice them.
Mikoda. I don't think I'm possessed. My name has no revelence to who I am. But if you want an explibation behind it, I consider my depression as being "possessed". I also take on emotions therefor you could say I am "possessed by them". And to say that I'm not fully developed is true, I haven't had the chance to practice much magick because I don't live in an environment that supports it. But that dosnt mean I'm not spiritually developed and I am not knowledgeable. I have had my own experince in a way that you might not be able to comprehend or you might diss miss as nothing. I cannot say cause I don't know you. I don't want continues conflict but I'm more knowledgeable then one would think I could be. So please don't discard my opinion as nonsence
I suggest using what I consider to be the best tool at your disposal. Meditation. If you meditate and focus yourself on your animal spirit guide, it should come through.
@Iampossesed
You are correct in not to discarded nonsense for sence is not always true and someone who is insane can make more sence than a sane person.
I am not completely sane myself so
I am probably correct.
When I see someone saying they have a spirit animal most of the time it comes off as an arbitrary decision; whether it is an animal that they wish they had the qualities of or an animal that has similar qualities to them. Change is certain, personalities change. If the idea of a spirit animal restricts one's mental/spiritual evolution then I would consider bad. If one tries to grasp on something seemingly permanent in a sea of change then only suffering is found.
