MDMA has Long been a Favorite Drug of Mine. I took my First Tab at Six'Teen. The Northern BC Shit was cut Heavy with Meth and glitched you out in Ways I’ve never felt on Pure MDMA. I had to quit for Years on Account of this - but before I did - at aLmost Eigh'Teen - I was given the Gift of One Pure MDMA Trip from a Tab I bought off this Chick from Vancouver. I didn’t return to the Drug ( not Really ) until Twenty Two, when I moved to Vic. City - which has a Consistent Supply of High Quality Product for a Reasonable Price.

MDMA, Powder Form, best eaten, can be Painful if snorted

What I like Most about MDMA - besides the Dancing and the Melting and the Emotional Openness - is what I discovered that Day at aLmost Eigh'Teen - MDMA gives me Visions.

This is an under Documented Effect of MDMA. My Guess is that the Psychedelic Aspects of the Drug are Particular to Certain People - I was pre Disposed to Visions and MDMA was the Best Drug with which to un lock my Particular Gift - I can see through Time. And I can see through Time Clearer while on MDMA.

The I AM A WRITER Vision of Eigh'Teen ( MDMA Trigger, August 2006 ) was Perhaps the Most im'Portant Vision of my Life. I had in July of 2011 was either as im'Portant or a Slice of a Second. It depends on how you look at it.

In July of 2011 - High on MDMA - I wandered into my Future. Ostensibly, I was at a Party, hanging out with my Friends, but in my Mind, I stood on a Lawn - and there, before me, was what I recognized at my Second Son, my Third Child, I'd guess Age One. He was Very Beautiful - and that is All I will say on the Matter of that. This Article is not about my Son, nor is it about MDMA. This Article is about Soul Animals.

The Party and I went to my House, where I was given a Second Vision, a Bit of MetaPhysical Truth for my Personal Use - and yours - there xists within Each Person a Unique “ Soul Animal. ”

I don’t Quite know what a Soul Animal is ( I am now given to believe in re in Carnation ), but I can tell you the First Place I Ever heard of them - Philip Pullman’s His Dark Materials Trilogy.

Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials. The Alethiometer on the Cover works Similarly to my Own Visionary Powers - through Symbolic Imagery

What a Wild name for a YA Series! As a YA, HDM was Unique among Series I had come across in its Thematic Complxity. It introduced me, at Twelve, to Philosophy - Nietzschean Atheism, I would say - a Kind of Contemporary Paganism. UnLike the Harry Potter Series - where the Allegiances of Each Character, Dark or Light, Snape xcluded as “Grand Drama ” - are Obvious from the get go - the Characters of HDM - including the Protagonist, an Eleven Year Old Girl named Lyra - are Each Moral Agents of Dubious Loyalty - as Rich in their Flaws as their Qualities. The Series is multi Dimensional. Lyra lives in an Oxford University in a Universe where People’s Souls xist Xternal to their Bodies - in the Bodies of Animals. These Animals shift Shape in Childhood Only to take on a Permanent Form - One Species of Animal that embodies the Person - in Adulthood ( in this, HDM is a Coming of Age Series ). “ Daemons, ” these Soul Animals are called.

I remember being so enAmoured of Daemons ( a Funny Joke, if you know me ). I remember being Twelve, walking along Park LaFontaine in Montreal, whispering under my Breath, “ I wish Daemons were Real. I wish Daemons were Real. I wish Daemons were Real. I wish Daemons were Real. ”

And so they became Real.

In the Vision at Twenty Three, I was told my Soul Animal - the Mountain Lion.

Discovering One’s Soul Animal to the Precise Species ( there are Millions of Species of Animals when we include Both Vertebras and in-Vertebras - and in Deed, from Xperience, Both Vertebras and in-Vertebras provide Soul Structures for People - and to Stunning Effect ) reveals Any Number of pro-Found Coincidences. I call the Occurrence of these Coincidences “ Symbolic Coincidentalism. ” Jung calls it “ Synchronicy. ” When you stumble onto Many Layers of Symbolic Coincidentalism in the LifeS tyle, Behaviorism and Appearance of a Species of Animal, you know you have found your Soul Animal. For Xample -

I am the Mountain Lion

Also called Cougar, Catamount, Puma, or Mountain Screamer, the Cat of Many Names is Similar to me in that it Delights in the Number of Titles it can take on - and so I have called mySelf - in Various Works - Andrea Coates, Psychedelic Realist, Philosopher of Sx / Drugs / Anarky, Coming Queen of Can Lit, Poète Maudite, Alt Lit's Witch, Anarkist, Hap'e [Color]; Poor-Little-Rich-Girl; Kitty Dirty; etc.

My Childhood Home is on this Mountain -

My Sister's Soul Animal is a Mountain Goat -

My Parents are a Moose -

and a Black Bear -

According to my Parents, my First Word was, “ Kitty. ”

My Hair is the Same Color as a Mountain Lion’s Fur.

I often put my Hair into Two Buns on Either Side of my Head, and the Buns look just like a Cougar’s Ears.

My Body Shape is “Lithe”- Fit with Trim Curves, like a Cougar’s.

I will Probably hit on Younger Men when I am Forty Four - my Soul Age.

Like the Cougar I am Aggressive, Sensuous, Aloof, Intelligent, Witty, Charismatic, Elusive, Noble, Sxual, Feminine, Powerful, Dangerous and Scary.

Hunter S Thompson was Also had a Cougar for a Soul Animal. Hunter and I have Much in Common in Terms of how we Approach the World.

Canadian Icon, Cougar Annie also shares Many Characteristics with me.

The Animal Most People I have met have guessed that they are is a Cat. I think this has to do with Xposure, and the Fact I hang out with Cat People. It may also have to do with the Fact that I am a Cat - People may be picking up on my Energy.

The Biggest Problem I have come across when trying to determine a Person’s Soul Animal is that they will say the Species I have suggested is not “Attractive ” Enough, or not “ Cool ” Enough, or not “Noble” Enough. This indicates a Fundamental misUnderstanding about the Nature of Animals: it anthropomorphizes them. When determining whether a Certain Species of Animal is your Soul Animal, it is Essential to view that Animal not from a Sapiens Perspective but from its Own Perspective. What makes it Suited to, or Accomplished in, its Environment? What makes it Special among Animals? How does in interact with Other Animals? It is Necessary to refrain, when thinking of Animals, from Moralizing them. They are as the are.

Once we understand that People’s Personalities are determined by a Soul Animal whose Essence they replicate, it become Clear why Some People like to live in High Rises while Some like to live Close to the Ground. Why Some are Messy and Some are Neat. Why Some are Shy and Some outGoing. Why Some are Happiest in Groups and Some are Happiest aLone. Why Some take Some Jobs and Others take Others. Why Certain People like Certain People and not Others. Why Certain People sleep with Certain People and not Others. Many Answers to the Mysteries of Personality are revealed when the Soul Animal is revealed. Many Things and Many People make Sense.

Soul Animals often appear in Imagery and Xperience un Consciously. Many Customs, Stories and Images make More Sense if you consider the Possibility of Soul Animals.
