so -- not monist, not dualist - pluralist, I think
I had never been able to fully appreciate the weirdness and very dynamic nature of spiritual substances before the current part of my shamanic journey... they too have form, though the range is quite vast indeed, making me consider that are different... sigh, species of spiritual substance, for lack of better words. It's not hard to feel like the equivalent of some... primitive caveman becoming witness to some sophisticated culture.
I have now encountered... a loong spirit, who has never been physically incarnate, only having astral form, and whose form feels very light and dynamic; a tiger spirit, whose form feels heavy and strongly defined due to having been physically incarnate prior; angelic spirits whose existence seems to be difficult for the loong spirit to comprehend the nature of and still difficult for the tiger spirit to define, despite it having been working with me and them for the past 7 years; some vast gentle entity whose existence was blinding and striking, with the thinnest veneer of a bird shape, though I could barely comprehend it beyond the blinding light it emanated ~ it seemed that this was the gentlest it could make itself without more... mental distance?
