TRAITS OF THE ANCIENTS
Being a reptilianist also means living by the standards, patterns, and the closest to the ways of the reptile. There are many different types of reptiles that include over 4,000 species of lizards, turtles, and flying creatures alike and each has it;s own way of living out it's daily routine and ritualistic habits. Some are extremely small like that of a tiny gecko and some are bigger than a person is tall like the Komodo Dragon. Each has it's own ability, weakness, and survival techniques which can be seen as tools for the practicing reptilianist. Here are a few more reptilian characteristics that can be interpreted and added into your own way of reptilian living and lifestyle.
*Most lizards as a defense mechanism have a weak tail, which can easily break off. This can puzzle enemies, allowing the lizard to get away.
This could be construed or interpreted for the reptilianist in many ways, and i invite you to come to your own interpretation of these reptilian traits as well. To one person it could mean never let your enemy get the better part of you. Always have a back up plan or fail safe in place to which you can escape safely or protect yourself. Or maybe to another person it could be sharing tidbits of information of themself with a new acquaintance but never really allowing the acquaintance to recieve the full version of you. Instead they get a small tail piece of who the mysterious reptilianist truly is and in essence are protecting the "nest egg" from other predators that are trying to figure out the individual for their own malevolent benefit. The reptilianist should keep his nest secretive, only allowing the most trusted of family and friends to the true self of tail, body, and egg.
* Reptiles are independent at birth
This characteristic is point blank and clear. Learn how to funtion in life as independently as you can. Create your own stream of independence that allows you to eat healthy and live life to it's full potential and will. Learn how to navigate the ropes of life and your place in the world by reading books, experiencing new things, learn how to deal with failures, successes, different environments, etc. All of these things will propel you towards living independently without the aid of anyone's help as you learn what works for you and what doesn't. When you are independent from needing help you will be acting on a level of survival that is conduscive to growth and prosperity.Something or someone may help you but the true reptilianist never asks for it, but rather receives it and accepts it as the will of Sobek. When you are finally able to blend to your desired environment the benefits of that environment will be yours for the taking, given to you willfullywithout having to ask for it. This ideal could be unreaistic in the early stages of a young reptilianist, but can be gained eventually through hard work and years of practice.
* Reptiles are cold blooded
When the sun is shining and the weather is warm the reptilianist feels great. I absorb the Viamin D through my skin. I suncharge and meditate on smooth sunbathed rocks with my naked feet against the heat kissed stone. When the weather grows cold and dismal i too feel the change. I become cold minded and depend on the warmth of my nest and the serenity it invites. The cold blooded nature of the reptile is also unwavering in the attitude it brings towards every decision. Constantly ready for action and always on guard the reptilianist lives by a code of cold blooded feelings and attitudes. Only within the individuals circle of close family, friends, and lovers is the warmth of the reptilianist received.
* Reptilian defenses include: Swelling up, hissing, changing colors, sharp spines/scales
The ability to mirror your environment or copy the image of your enemies or peers is a trait that every reptilianist should learn and execute when needed. Whether it gets you out of danger by fitting in with the enemy, or gains you success through association amongst a prestigious group of look alikes, the ability can hold infinite possibilities. As the old saying goes "If you walk, talk, and quack like a duck you might as well be a duck". This old myth prooves to be true when you tailor your looks, needs, and attitudes to fit in with the desired group, company, or person that you require for your desired outcome. In self defense situations, sharp spines and scales can be interpreted into a reasonable weapon of protection. The reptilianist believes in the ways of the knife and the power it can hold when executed with precision. When in dangerous situations with enemies or provokers, swelling up and voicing that you are not to be messed with is the precursor. Any further escalation by the enemy would result in this type of self defense.
* Reptiles eat insects, plants, and small animals.
As a way of enhancing the reptilian lifestyle and DNA that resides within us some reptilianists may decide to add certain species of edible insects into their diet. I prefer crickets myself; cooked and spiced. Some people prefer them fresh and alive which certainly has it's health benefits in comparison with animal meat. Living as a reptile enhances vital survival skills and frees oneself to achieve true independence.
