"Ancient sacred wisdsom traditions teach that the very purpose of human evolution is to become all things; and that this is one thing that makes human beings unique amongst the animals. In the Daivalya Upanishads it says, "by seeing oneself in all beings and all beings in oneself, enlightenment is obtained.

By assuming different postures we become the archetypal energy potentials inherent in life's aliveness; we transform one state of Being into another. For each posture speaks a language of becoming one of the forms of creation ... of our creation ... of the universe's creations.

Shape shifting from one stance to another breaks fixated life stances and activates the healing power of the universe of possibilities. The primordial healing gift of being human is being a consciousness-shaping animal. When we do so, we return to the mythical cave of human creation."
