I came along a National Geographic article a while ago that was quite mind boggling. I wasn't at home and wasn't able to save or find the article again, but I will try my best to explain without sounding completely insane.
There has always been a connection between man and dog, and before that man and wolf. Although the bond between a human and a wolf differs greatly from the domestic pets of today. Wolves are magnificent creatures that are free spirited, wild, doing as they please, feral and intelligent. Although there has always been a connection nonetheless, especially in Native American culture.
Native American shamans believed that each enlightened human being is connected with a totemic animal spirit. Whether it be wolves, eagles, ravens etc...
And the shamans believed that through spiritual connection and deep meditaition they can take the form of their totemic animals, in other words shape-shift.
Ok, I know this is all very spiritual and myth-like.
The article I read was a study a group of cultural anthropologists did on an old Wolf Shamanistic tribe. This group of elder shamans were known as the Huichol elders. The bone structures of these men where contorted and misshapen. Their skulls were elongated and their teeth strangely resembled the teeth of a canine lupus. They claim that their features have become that way from the many 'journeys' they have taken in their wolf-form. Of course, we know that it is impossible to physically become another animal in reality. Although the anthropologists say the mystery behind this could be their ritualistic meditations. There might be a possibility that through their deep intense meditation sessions they have entered an alternate dimension where it does become possible to change our physical form.
Hmm. Trippy huh?
I just found this fascinating. I mean, isn't it sometimes nice to know that we never really know.?
nice pics,

Well now....here's a blog which sits right up old Spotty's alley. It strikes me as odd to think we could not, at one time, shift from human form to animal.........what's the 88% hold in dormancy anyway? I read on a study regarding use of electric current to concentrate and primitize areas of a rats body and successfully regenerate legs and tails. I believe it was a Lyall Watson book I discovered this in...........and if man has 5 rational senses in 3 dimensional time/space equations then how do these begin in the journey from amoebic form to developed human embryo ? Which comes first and so on ? Could there have been earlier forms of man that lived attuned to greater levels of REM, for example, and thus learned to travel thru dimensional planes to learn from other sources of existence within this planets abundant creature catalogue ?
