Something of it shows in their body language, behaviour and even in their faces. It is not just me who has noticed this, but also other people. I have been compared to a rabbit by many different people, even the elderly. I have heard that we live as animals before the human life begins, but I’m not sure if it has anything to do with it. I would like to understand if there is any truth behind this.
It is true that our body carries certain imprints of the animal consciousness within us. This does add to the shaping of the body because there is indeed a subtle correspondence between the form and the consciousness that inhabits it. Each animal corresponds to some quality that Nature tries to reproduce in the animal world through its forms.
It does not, however, mean that the person is like that animal. It simply means that perhaps, if the impression is correct, the person carries some characteristic trait of the animal. Rabbit, for example, indicates prudence.
Affectionately,
