aheheheheheh a beardie fan huh?

When I find my recharger for my digital camera, I'll post some pics on the pet thread. he is absoultely gorgeous. He was chocolate brown as a pup with ginger flashes at the backs of his legs and a proper white collie flash on his neck....now he's a sort of pale cappuccino froth colour, with a pale brown (almost pink) nose and and green gold eyes.

A horribly outdated and very enthnocentric book. Inapplicable. How the man drew the connection from totems and animism to the prevention of incest in tribal cultures, I will never understand. He should have stuck to studying oversexed housewives in Vienna.

No, you don't.

But, if you do believe in reincarnation ... you could have had a different totem in a prior life, or the same one. Ditto for Guardians.

Well, I don't believe in reincarnation. I find it quite creepy, and there's nothing about my life that would lead me to believe that I had another one at any point. Good to know tho. I don't have a totem regardless. What percentage of the world's population does that put me in?

According to some Robert Thurman, we've had millions of past lives. If so, I can see the utility in not remembering them.

Care to describe guardians? I'm not familiar with that concept.

I had no idea that dropping a single line and referencing a work by title and author constituted a complex facet of discussion, so you'll have to pardon me if I only managed to grasp the very edge of your point that you managed to fit in such a concise and perfect package. Care to elaborate on your comment beyond the eternal depth of "Freud = irrational belief", or should I give you some time to relax from your mentally strenuous musings and post that this simply "dovetails into your original message"?

So...I guess I don't understand this totem ish...sounds like it's something made up. A state of mind, er something.

What you have just said is the conclusion that most people come to after they have been in university for twenty years , KinkyVixen .
