Another beautiful sharing from Alysia...
As for animal-human question, there is only confusion about this, when one has preconceived ideas or limiting beliefs about the nature of souls, that animals are distinct from humans, and so on.
Once you understand that all beings are simply consciousnesses manifested from God, essentially the same, but manifesting as, throughout and across, many many levels, planets, kingdoms and races, then there is little difficulty in appreciating that this being manifested to you in one form, but incarnated as another.
The mistake many intraphysical consciousness (ie. physically incarnated humans) make, is to trap themselves with preconceived notions and limiting beliefs about reality around them. Once you open your eyes and heart to all possibilities, all possibilities in turn open up to you.
But for some individuals who are still curious about whether humans habitually incarnate as animals, or vice-versa, then, from observation, it is as Alysia has described : the general evoultionary trend is from plant kingdom to animal kingdom to human (and subsequently from human to Serenissimus, etc).
See my post on Astral Pulse here, on the topic of evolving souls progressing from animal incarnations to human incarnations :
http://www.astralpulse.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=18893And for those who ask is it possible for human souls to 'regress' back to animal souls? Again as Alysia has already mentioned, it is usually not productive and helpful (and thus does not usually occur) for the soul who has already begun to involve itself karmically and conscientially in one kingdom or soul group, to 'regress' back to incarnating into a biological body of a species in which the lessons and consciential tasks are significantly different.
That is not to say such never occurs. For if there are good reasons for something to occur, then by the natural laws of the universe (and good ol common sense), it would certainly (make sense for it to) occur.
And so the question for you is not so much, is she a human soul incarnating as an animal, or an animal soul incarnating as a human?
These questions become laughable and rather pointless when you see from the higher perspective and realize that souls are souls, 'humans' and 'animals' are merely temporary physical vehicles for the consciousness, and all consciousnesses are essentially the same, ie. aspects and fragments of God that is, and always will be your (you, all your loved ones, all beings of the Cosmos) True Self.
If you do find yourself somehow disturbed by any of the possibilities or ideas that you may suggest to yourself (eg. "
OMG! A human soul backslided into an animal soul! That's sooooo sad!"), then that is good (ie. good that you feel disturbed), for even such seemingly 'negative' emotional reactions (eg. upset, anger, sadness, etc) can serve powerfully as OPPORTUNITIES (on simple condition that you're willing to make the effort to learn from these) for you to CLARIFY the true meaning, underlying lessons and Lovingness, of your own ideas, beliefs, choices and thosenes (thoughts, emotions & energies) and true nature (*you* determine your own nature).
And the most direct way to accomplish this, is via Byron Katie's Inquiry Process. Why are you upset? Iterate or articulate your problem statement. Then Turn it Around.
The result of such (Clarification processes, eg. via Inquiry method) is inevitably karmic and consciential evolution, both for the Inquiring soul, as well as for others around (ie. assistantiality), including in this case, (assistantiality) for the being who you love so deeply as your " little girl dog".

PS.
Here are a couple of accounts that illustrate the universality of souls (all equally deserving of Love, all equally ourselves) :
Mr Satan wrote :
Quote:i read in one of monroe's books that he visited a place where the spirits, as lights, were lined up waiting to be prepped for incarnation. They would go through a process where they would forget their previous lives and then shoot toward their new bodies. In this line he saw one light that was smaller. He approached it, conversing w it. The little light said that it had previously been an animal incarnation. It had done something really exceptional, and so was allowed the privilege of now having a human life. It felt very honored and nervous at the same time.
(To which Marilyn added)
Quote:Yes, I remember reading this too. I believe it was a dog and this really threw me. I've always wondered about that as I didn't think that animals could incarnate as humans.
In a separate thread, Bruce (Moen) writes :
Quote: In a two-hour version of my workshop, in Sydney, Australia, participants were taking part in a retrieval exercise. They were being guided by my verbal cues to retrieve a person. One of the participants, a woman, came upon a small dog who had died and become stuck. In her conversation with the dog he told her that he was worried he must have done something wrong. This because his master no longer call his name and because the children in the family no longer played with him. The women explained to him that he had not done anything wrong, it was just that he no longer had a body his master or the children could see.
The Helper who showed up to assist in the retrieval of this little dog was a large, adult, white dog. The participant followed the retrieval process far enough to observe that the little dog was taken to a place where other animals were. She described it as a large, sunny meadow or pasture where children were playing with puppies and dogs.
More than a year after this experience I was sharing this story with a pet owner who told me that the place the participant described sounded like the area she and others call the Rainbow Bridge. In several other retrievals performed during in my workshops other participants have described retrieving other animals to the same place.
Sai Baba also once casually mentioned that his pet elephant was finally ready for her first human incarnation in the next upcoming life, and that it was because she (as with many other animal souls who 'graduate' ahead of their peers) had been putting much effort and willingness to cultivate and demonstrate the higher consciential qualities of compassion and service in her past and current life, and thus being ready for the greater opportunities (of evolution and universal assistantiality) that are provided by a human incarnation.
Unfortunately, from observation, the vast majority of human beings incarnate do not seem to truly appreciate and cherish their current human incarnations very much... a real pity, for every human lifetime is incredibly precious, and so much (more) could be accomplished by each and every human being alive today...
