Shapeshifting requires the ability to transcend your attachments, in particular your ego attachments to identity and who you are.

You can slip in and out of different shells, even different animal forms or deity forms.

When we don’t put the brakes on our self-absorption, we have nothing stopping us from total self-destruction. We become the fruits of our actions.

Children and babies should be held in the most sacred regard. We feel that they're the most natural and true magicians.
