According to Tantric philosophy, it is possible for humans to de-evolve into other life forms. Our free will is a result of the full evolution of our minds. We have mind-stuff, ego, and self-awareness; we exist, we act to maintain that existence, and we know. We have the capacity to grasp the universal laws with understanding, and we can choose our actions. We are at a critical juncture.

We are attracted by those familiar basic concerns that dominated our existence in animal embodiments — eating, sleeping, procreation, fear. But we also have a sense of greater fulfillment, a dim memory of infinite bliss. Thus many people wander for lifetimes in a state of confusion, vacillating between the pleasures and pains of animal existence and the unknown journey toward higher consciousness. If a human’s mind becomes completely dominated by animal-like instinct, she may need to go back, temporarily, to an animal body to fulfill that propensity before taking a human form again.
