Wildcats (also, Lions, Tigers)
I. Behind zoo-fencing a crowd of wildcats (lions and tigers) are growling and roaring and the gate is locked shot

The wildcats are the primitive parts of one's nature, the animalo side, the agressive parts of oneself.
I. I see a zoo cage with many wildcats growling and roaring.
II. I am a little scared of them
III. A voice says do not go where the wildcats are
This story is almost like that of the creater in the Garden of Eden in the Bible. Yes, I was given a warning like Adam and Eve were given in regards to the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil. I was four years old when I had it. I guess, perhaps, at that point I wouldn't have known how to handle my animal energies being just a child, and hence there was a oice telling me "not to go there". However, I think now, well I have expressed those energies which well to be quite frank arouse creativity in me, and also enable me to have a proper sex life. The issue is not the cats themselves. However, like Daniel in the Bible, the classic story of my namesake, the lions must be tamed. If our animal instincts are unbridled it creates chaos. However, if a person keeps their animal instincts guarded and uses them correctly, it produces success. That which can destroy you can also help you to succeed. We all have those urges. What makes a man wise is if he can use those energies to the best of his advantage and society's advantage. Michaelangelo would have never created his masterpiece David without those energies. However, creating something beautiful with them, shows a balanced idividual: not supressing rather guiding those energies to positive means.
