Of my opinion, I think that were's do exist, perhaps since I would think myself one. Overtime, some people tend to notice certain things that others wouldn't even have considered, and when you show them your point of view, which is encompassing many areas of thought, a very WIDE range of knowledge and supremely concise, they get freaked out, because they see that you possess a nearly animalistic matter-of-fact view. You will either be respected or feared because of your animal thinking. I have done this on several accounts. Also, it as behavioral links that can't ever be unbinded. I have noticed this one as well. But, as I can't provide solid, valuable, concrete truth to any of my statements, except from the personal accounts and reactions of people, then you may certainly debunk what I hold as an evident truth.

funny thought: whenever I don't have meat in relatively large quantities, I have found holes in my tongue where I have bitten myself overnight. This one tongue wound lasted for over two weeks until I increased my meat intake drastically. It made me laugh when I realized this. Plus, for a note, I purposefully decreased my meat intake because I was slightly alarmed in my own behavior when I did have my "were" thoughts. I was afraid of myself and wanted to decrease that behavior. Little did I know that I would eat my tongue while I slept... DX Man, I couldn't talk right for two weeks while that happened because the rightside of my tongue went numb, as it was the area where I had been biting in my sleep.

hehe... still makes me amused

you got me there... i get that a lot as well...

That's nothing to do with wolves and everything to do with genetic quirks.  Before understanding that, people assumed that such individuals were not entirely human (same with humans born with more/less than 10 fingers/toes, a tail, etcetera).

Welcome to the League Of Annoying Questioners.  Chief Questioner and Athenian Gadfly Socrates presiding.

Of course I do. It's a long story but I've looked into it and have teh oh-so-wonderful AND horrible gift of truth. Not only that but I'm posotiver I've seen one...

I accept that certain monster myths resonate, much as Jungian archetypes have been believed to resonate, for certain individuals. Figures from the Horror genre (monsters) represent, or embody, actual fears for many people. For others, these figures echo deeply held yearnings.

Though I believe these "monsters with myths" to operate similarly to Jungian archetypes, my impression is that these monsters frighten (or attract) people because the monsters in some way embody real world fears (or desires). The fictional werewolf shown in "The Wolfman" (the myth's classic film version with Lon Chaney, Jr) is represented as a somehow disenfranchised individual, the nobleman's younger son or the despised "ignorant" gypsy. The disenfranchised individual feels powerless to aim anger where it belongs and in a rational fashion. A seemingly disconnected event, the full moon, sets off an animalistic (irrational) fury aimed at random victims. This mythic werewolf figure represents society's fear regarding lashback violence from it's disempowered members. Those attracted to this werewolf figure could feel themselves to be in some way disempowered, or they would feel sympathy for the downtrodden.

Go ahead!  Wait...what do you mean by time weighing heavily?  Mortality?

Recently in physics it is being discussed that atoms are not structured until they are interpreted. If that is the case the reality of the individual who changed may in fact involve the physical change, but for a third party the change will only be viewed as a mental one because their reality states that the person in front of them is a person, even if it is their wish to see the change.

Mmm.  Conditional reality.

Like rednecks.

I'm putting that book on my Shelfari list.

Psychology is fascinating. The thing I find even more fascinating is how a lot of quantum physics is working on describing reality which in turn explain the psychology of interpreting and understanding reality through the human mind. Its absolutely amazing how much the brain is capable of. Which is one of the reasons why I think that if someone was able to take hold of something like the werewolf they may in fact become one in their own constructed reality.

The conditions would have to be highly controlled and there would be no way of really seeing physical evidence since the events would occur within their own constructed reality. In my opinion though there is the possibility for a werewolf transformation, but it is highly improbable. I would say the chances of it happening is like the a hyperbola it gets infinitely close to zero but never reaches it.

Every living being manipulates their individual realities and those they come into contact with. It just happens that conscious ones tend to do it more, and on levels above the self.
