Desire for Power.

[AnthroHeart]

That would be ironic. But it wouldn't surprise me.

What if your desire towards anthros is something you programmed in to your life as catalyst and when you leave this body you no longer have that bias towards that form?

[Unbound]

I do not mean to be rude, but it seems like your life revolves around this concept and it just makes me curious. I do not mean to be so nosy! Aha

[AnthroHeart]

I thought everyone had a #1 fascination on their list. I wouldn't say my life revolves around them. But I would say they're up there.

[Unbound]

Aha I would agree that probably everyone has some heirarchy of desire within them. My fascination is with ideas, the way they can be built and rebuilt in an infinite number of ways, which sometimes becomes a big dead end spiral of neverending thinking. It is good to have a strong passion and desire, but anything in an extreme can become unhealthy. There is nothing wrong with any desire, but if our desires are causing us suffering by their lack of fulfillment then one might wonder whether the desire really is what it is, or if it is compensation for another lack we perceive in ourselves.

[AnthroHeart]

I try not to have anything in the extreme. Even my fascination for anthros. But I've had it as long as I can remember.
I don't feel like I'm suffering because they are not fulfilled. I don't feel empty. I always have them to look forward to.
They make me smile when I look at artwork. I think I've probably come across as being smitten by them, and true
those were my own words, but it's probably not that strong. I've had a healthy respect for them, but also a love for
them that cannot be duplicated in today's world.

What was your first experience with anthros?

---

Aha and actually, I would like to tie this discussion in with the topic, do you feel a sense of power when you envision yourself as an anthro or connected to anthros?

[AnthroHeart]

I don't recall my first experience with anthros.

But ah yes, being with an anthro would give me a great sense of self confidence and assurance. When I visualize myself as an anthro, it would only be in a world where they were accepted. Thing is the greatest uncertainty I have is to what anthro I would be. Hard to say if I'd rather be in the presence of one or to be one. Yes, I can definitely say that being with an anthro would give me a profound personal power.

[Unbound]

I sometimes meditate on myself in various anthropomorphic forms in order to try to better understand the animal nature in humans as it meets the divine nature of intelligent infinity. I have a few but usually use either a draconic form or that of a lion. I also like to do tree meditations as a great willow! Aha

Cincinnatus was Washington's hero.


He represented the idea that power should only be given to men who wanted it least.

You are already so powerful that you create your own reality. If its more control of physical manifestation then I suggest using the magical approach as Seth calls it.

[Fang]

The adept does not have access to the power (abilities) of comic book characters as many seem to think.
Especially wanderers, due to more intensive pre-incarnative programming.
Yet people go chasing after that, uh it ain't healthy lol

I see that quote from Ra in regards to power as the general capacity to reach what one grasps for. If you go chasing after the ability to make fire fly from your hands you probably are lacking the wisdom (and probably love, the three components of the trinity) to actualize it through power even if it didn't breach certain laws of nature lolz

The desire for power in the transcendental, supernatural sense is often to equilibrilize the individual's self worth and quite often these days as an escapist mechanism, generally speaking anyways. It can get pretty pathological if it is left to fester.

[Namaste]

Of course I'm interested in moving forward. I feel though I'm "missing out" on something by being here. I feel that if I had not sacrificed something by coming here that it would have not meant as much. I feel that sacrifice equals worth. If I had given up real anthros by coming here, it means all the more. And that by returning to that life after I'm done here I will be greatly appreciative.

Remember, my friend, you're not missing anything. You *can't* miss anything. All lives are concurrent, simultaneous. You are experiencing an infinite amount - right this second - more than your human mind can conceive.

I would hazard a guess that your passion for these forms is due to a connection in another experience. A 'bleed' through, as such.

We're often too keen to try and explain things in human terms, as that's our immediate experience. But there is far more to our being than the vast (vast) majority of us have access too. Far more. Ineffable, in fact.

Very cool :¬)

Remember, this incarnation for you has infinite worth. You would not be experiencing it otherwise. Make the most of it and accept yourself fully.

While many here, including myself, may offer help from our own perspective, we cannot possibly understand your unique and specific experience. That's yours, and yours alone. Always go by your feelings, trust those more than any other person 'external' to you. Love yourself for being just who you are, rather than feeling alienated. Your being is a gift. Embrace it.

[zenmaster]

Desires can be destructive as well as constructive to our being. Ra did say to also take a look at what you like ("approve") as well as what you don't like. In any event, a particular, compelling fascination itself should be a clue that balance is not yet afforded from whatever it is calling upon. People can perpetually distance emotional or numinous notions just enough that they may not benefit from their implications, but rather treat the ensuing libidinous energy as some kind of drug to enable bypassing rather than integration.

[Namaste]

I agree, ZM, disenchantment with 3D indicates an imbalance.

Oftentimes the first step to balancing is to fully accept one's self in this moment. From there, that acceptance can garner faith, which in turn can found one's feeling of self worth and ultimately balance.

A lack of self acceptance is at the core of much imbalance in 3D, manifesting itself appropriately.

These lower ray distortions, once worked upon, open the gate to the green ray. Which will in turn allow love to be given to fellow humans and the 'current' experience.

[xise]

I think I just miss what I've left behind by incarnating here. I feel like I've left my root race that I really feel attracted towards. They might not be cartoon. I don't know, but I wouldn't be surprised if they were. By cartoon I still mean biological, but with a cartoony look to them.

If you're exploring the whole biological versus cartoon feel, how do you feel toward the type of anthros displayed by non-cartoonish werewolf movies? Some of them are horror movie based genres, but some are more action/fantasy orientied - ie Underworld - there they have humans, werewolves, werewolf-vampire hybrids.

There's probably a movie with nice werewolves, but the Underworld series was the most recent one I watched so that comes to mind.

Edit: I'm particularly interested in all human-animal fantasy things such as werewolves. And Minotaurs. Chimeras. Etc. Perhaps I created some of these in Atlantis haha (lol). More probably just my inner dork shining through

[AnthroHeart]

I'm not much into werewolves. That's why I separate out the cartoon kind. Because werewolves are mindless and violent. The anthros I like would sit down with you and have a drink, and talk with you.

[Melissa]

Gemini, I can relate to that kind of attraction, as I was completely mesmerized by Vincent for a few years. He was a fictional character with catlike features in a television series (late 80's), based on the story of the beauty and the beast. Handsome fellow!

[AnthroHeart]

Melissa, for me anthros have been top of my list for some 20 years or so. So it's really stuck with me. I understand what you are saying. And thank you.

[kycahi]

Sometimes it's hard to remember there is only one of us here.

Oh, Wolf, that first sentence is priceless! Thank you for making me lol!

Having increased my awareness on the aspect of power, it seems that these thoughts arise through a lack of awareness most often and its a slow decent into negative thought patterns but i found the trick was to watch the desire without trying to overcome it nor trying to indulge in it but simply letting it go.

This way acceptance of the thought and a more balanced approach comes about from my experience over the few days or so.

[reeay]

As yellow-ray beings, we have the ability to be self-aware - to think about what we are thinking, to think about how we impact others & types of choices/actions they make subsequently, and to think about how interactions w/ others impact our choices/actions. Thru self-awareness and reflexive contemplation we can understand self in context of power, and how we affect our relationships/other self, and then accept catalyst. We can keep refining understanding and acceptance of various catalysts. Being mindful of power and how power is used really ties in with orange/yellow type catalyst so it's a process of unfolding (unfolding understanding of self and other self).

The red flag lol:
