| Transmigration |
|
Transmigration - reincarnation into another species - is the backup option that always
remains, and is therefore commonly held to many of those who wish to change into an animal,
whatever their religious background.
In some religions, transmigration is a wheel, and we move from species to species in a set pattern. In others, our behaviour in this lifetime determines what we will be next. A third popular belief, never formalised, is that we have a natural form into which we are born time and time again, but occassionally, for reasons unknown, we are born to a different form. In this case we are likely to feel slightly unadjusted during that lifetime, identifying with different likes and dislikes, habits and instincts. Transmigration is a comforting option because it always remains when the other options have failed. If you wish to change your form, you can take comfort in the fact that it will happen in the next life if it doesn't happen in this one. The down side of course is that we won't retain our current consciousness with which to appreciate it. Such is life... and life... and life... |
