Re: Descriptions and experiences in Otherworlds/The spiritual plane
Oh I forgot to mention this point (I was replying in a hurry before work and see I made a few sloppy typos ^^). I didn't realise how widespread all these ideas were (maybe I AM a shamanist after all, just not by design!). I do actually subscribe to the 3-selves view of the soul and am familiar with the fetch and its role. This was something I incorporated into my practices when I was exploring the Anderson Feary family of traditions. I've never come across the theory that THIS could be my shadow self, but I don't feel comfortable with the idea. I always considered it as my 'younger-self'.. more animalistic in ways, but also a blank slate, spiritually 'pure' as I was at birth.. and aware of the things I knew at that time, before my journey here progressed and defined my world-view. So I can kinda see how sometimes the fetch could seem alien to me, but on the whole I feel it is a positive part of my soul and an important go-between bringing images and messages from my deeper self.
I'm slowly making my way through some of your posts in the shamanism sub-forums. There is so much information I'm still to discover, and your posts are a great place to start and decide where I need to research further..
