THE TONAL IS AN ANIMAL GUARDIAN — A GUARDIAN THAT IS VERY MUCH A PROTECTOR, FOR IT PROTECTS SOMETHING THAT IS PRICELESS; NAMELY, OUR TRUE BEING. UNFORTUNATELY THOUGH, BEING A PROTECTOR, THE TONAL HAS A TENDENCY TO BE SECRETIVE AND COVETOUS ABOUT ITS DOINGS, AND BECAUSE ITS DOINGS ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT ASPECT OF OUR LIVES, IT IS INEVITABLE THAT THE TONAL SHOULD GRADUALLY CHANGE FROM BEING A BENEVOLENT GUARDIAN WHO IS EMPATHETIC AND UNDERSTANDING, TO A DESPOTIC GUARD THAT IS PETTY, SMALL-MINDED AND THOROUGHLY SELF-CENTRED.
