Animal Birth Totem Bear
Bear (August 22 to September 21)
As Birth Totem Black Bear you are an individual whose outer
personality is one of quiet observation. As you move through
your daily life, there is a noticable careful study of all you
encounter and experience. It is as though the intention is to
sift and sort through all of the stimuli and input that the
conscious mind encounters-to categorise and label each person,
action and event so that a greater understanding and assimilation
can occur.
Yet you will eventually realise that not everything can be
understood with the physical senses alone, and the individual soul
of another can never be neatly or completely labeled or categorised
as it is dynamic and ever changing with that persons evolvement.
Until you can come to the awareness that life is ever changing, and
that to attempt to understand the process with the physical senses
alone will inevitably (and invariably) lead to frustration, you will
be stunting your own spiritual growth.
Just as Black Bear must rely on their 'higher senses' (intuition) in
order to prepare for the lean months of winter and to alert themselves
of impending threat, so must you learn to rely a little less upon
'physical evidence' and more upon your inner voice and feelings. In
this way, integration of mind and physical to that of the emotions and
soul can take place leading to the higher intent of Black bear's
incarnation....the perfection of the Soul.
