What animal archetype are you?

[arwen83]

I know that there is a spiritual realm that we don't know a whole lot about, only what is written in scripture. I cannot account for personal spiritual experiences- near death, dying then being revived, claiming that they met Christ, or saw Heaven. I have not decided what I think of those situations. Who am I to say that God didn't speak to the person? But I sure am discerning.

 

[TigerScent777]

Annnnnnd, there we go.

BTW --- I can clearly pick up on your projections in all this. What I feel superimposed with regards to your past and perceptions of the kinds of things you are talking about, and is not anywhere near remotely who I am --- just so you know !!!

This is one reason Christ says 'not to judge'; because others in their ignorance and misunderstanding project an idea onto another person that affects them on some level --- if they are not aware of such and don't know how to deflect it in defence !!!

--- its also another good reason --- for Christians to develop a total state of awareness and perception in the Spirit of God, so that they can see c-l-e-a-r-l-y the truth..., in Gods Spirit of Truth ...

Okaaayy....this is getting a little disturbing, brother.

If you can find scriptural support for those lesser truths you've pointed out, well and good. But if you can't...please, for your sake and those to whom you share these insights, abandon such beliefs!

I'm no theologian, but i'm sure those lesser truths are completely unbiblical. They rely so much on man's vain attempts to understand the mysteries of GOD's being and HIS creation. GOD is Spirit, not mere energy! And as much as we would like to think so, we cannot see GOD in near death experiences. If that were the case, HE'd state it in HIS Word that HE'll speak to us through such circumstances. The Bible is written, so that all GOD's truths that we need concerning knowing HIM, HIS love and HIS will for our lives and for the Church are there. No more and no less. Take it or leave it. If you truly want to seek GOD and understand HIM, please do so by prayer and in studying HIS Word, asking for HIS wisdom and discernment. If you long to understand the wonders that only GOD can reveal to you through HIS Word, ask for the gift of Prophecy, then. There is no gift of Mysticism in the Bible, brother. As eager as you are to discover GOD in all HIS wonder and glory, trying different schools of thought towards increased awareness and higher knowledge of the divine, you are now skating over thin ice, under which is a straight downward plummet into the enemy's oblivion...


Romans 11:33-36

King James Version (KJV)

33 O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!
34 For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counsellor?
35 Or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again?
36 For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen.


1 Corinthians 1:25

King James Version (KJV)

25 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men



I will pray for you, brother. Please do not take offense, but instead, examine your heart and mind if it is in the right place. What would you have to lose by doing so? For we are all learning and growing deeper in the knowledge and the love of our LORD. We need HIS guidance in our lives continually, everyday. So please do not ignore this reproof done with much love from our GOD through the brethren.

GOD bless you, transform and renew your mind, as you submit your all, heart, body, mind and soul to HIM.


2 Corinthians 10:5

King James Version (KJV)

5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;


Psalm 139:23-24

King James Version (KJV)

23 Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts:
24 And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.

I did some volunteer work for this man over a time of 2 years video editing, a Christian who had a death experience and is now a pastor...It is very real. I have met a number of Christians who have had such experiences also, in churches and fellowship..., after asking God to show me the truths I need to know to fill in the missing gaps...

I prayed for God to show me the Truths I needed to know, as I felt many Christians were just to ignorant to even consult with on lessor matters --- due to the experiences I had; and found myself constantly meeting Christians who had experiences of dying and coming back since...

I have noticed some people have a natural animal archetype that seems to suit their persona to a T...

What is yours and why?

My 'secular' archetype is a tiger - I feel like one ... on a number of levels..., what I generally prowl around as...sensed, but not always seen...

My 'spiritual' archetype is a lion - again - similar to the above - noble
...and also an 'eagle' transcendent; that sees above and beyond - transcends...

This is like asking what zodiac sign I am; I don't believe in astrology so the signs of the zodiac have absolutely no meaning for me, I'm simply NOT a zodiac sign. Same goes for asking what 'animal archetype' I am: I don't believe in animism, so I simply have NO 'spiritual animal.' I'm not a big fan of Carl Jung either by the way.
I think it's cool you relate to a certain animal and it's supposed qualities (I mean, what's so noble about a lion, he let's his lionesses hunt for him, basically he himself is just lazy), but I just have my doubts about the term 'animal archetype.' Instead you could have asked: what animal would you want to be, or: what animal do you relate to?

If you can find scriptural support for those lesser truths you've pointed out, well and good.

Ecc 12:6 Remember Him before the silver cord is broken and the golden bowl is crushed, the pitcher by the well is shattered and the wheel at the cistern is crushed;
Ecc 12:7 then the dust will return to the earth as it was, and the spirit will return to God who gave it.
Ecc 3:21 Who knows the spirit of the sons of man, whether it goes upward; and the spirit of the beast, whether it goes downward to the earth?
Luk 8:54 But putting all outside, and taking hold of her hand, He called out, saying, Child, rise up!
Luk 8:55 And her spirit returned, and she rose up immediately. And He ordered something to eat be given to her.
1Th 5:23 And may the God of peace Himself fully sanctify you, and may your whole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Mat 13:11 And answering, He said to them, Because it has been given to you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of Heaven, but it has not been given to those.
1Co 4:1 Let a man think of us as ministers of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God.
1Co 13:2 And if I have prophecies, and know all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith so as to move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing.

Hos 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being My priest. Since you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children.

...as I said earlier --- look at the biblical examples --- simple !!

...also, Christ is the Lion that became the Lamb --- that is what is MOST 'cool' about it

...also:
Eze 1:10 As for the form of their faces, each had the face of a man; all four had the face of a lion on the right and the face of a bull on the left, and all four had the face of an eagle.

Eze 1:11 Such were their faces. Their wings were spread out above; each had two touching another being, and two covering their bodies.

...'cool enough'... LOL

There are 3 with which I've been categorized personally and externally:

Bear:

Wolf:

Owl:

You can not compare the titles of Christ with the 'spiritual animals' of animism and shamanism.

If these are your supposed scriptural references which support your lesser truths, i am not convinced, brother. To me, it's like your desperately grasping for HIS Word to fit into your beliefs. It's a sad thing...if i were wrong, i'd be humble enough to admit it. But in this case...i'm afraid you are.

You really need to truly seek GOD...i am even more deeply disturbed for you now...and worse, you refuse to acknowledge that you might be wrong.

Personally, i don't put stock on what people will claim as being their supernatural experience with GOD, saying they saw HIM when they were near death and such. I might be wrong...i might be behaving ignorantly regarding those matters. But i'd rather err on that aspect, rather than trust something that other people just said, and something that HE didn't not show me through HIS Word. If i am wrong, GOD will teach me in due time. Of HIS corrections and reproofs i will trust. So i will continue to seek HIM through HIS Word. I believe you should do the same, brother.

It was just a question about what animal you could see yourself as. So just chill like a Penguin and leave Tiger alone.

These were referenced relating to the spirit after death.....the verses about mysteries indicates that their are mysteries.....clearly if they were written about openly they would no longer be mysteries.....but those that have died and come back would be more qualified to know .....than those who did not.....and those just relating their paranoia and fear of the unknown don't even come into the equation for they are reacting emotively and not from a place of knowing , insight nor understanding.....but of a superstitious reactive mindset......I like to go much deeper than that into the realms of Truth..... I know you mean well......but their is much more to the truth than you realise.....

 

[zeroturbulence]

OK so the animal I really want to see myself as is an eagle.

But I feel more like a turkey.

Projections? Seems to me like you're an expert in that field.

I'm sure you can pick up what I'm putting out there. I'm aware of you too.


Oh, don't you worry. I can see you, and I can see the truth. I can see it quite well.


You said not to judge. I haven't. What I've done is pointed things out about you and your belief system. No where in our written volley have I judged you.

Not once.

Nope, what I've done is gotten you to admit you're a mystic, which is witchcraft by the way. You may want to call it something else, but the fact is it's witchcraft by biblical definition. And since witchcraft used to be my bread and butter I know the doctrine well. Very, very well.

Like I said, I can spot even the smallest practice at 50 paces.



To sum up. I've never judged you, just identified who you are.
