I have a Little story to tell you, its about my little girl dog. She is one spoiled animal,that you can be assured.

One time a few years ago ,I was going through a very difficult time in my life,you know the one where everything is going wrong your asking yourself why why why,all the while through the pain of growth,you cant sleep you cant eat,your in misery.

Well during this time,as I have said I couldn't sleep,I was finding it hard to sleep,my little girl lives on my bed,she is a very good sleeper no problems in her world. But when she dose nod of she snore and if anyone here ,has trouble sleeping and your next to a snore,well, you know what I'm talking about!

I would continually wake her during the night as I was trying to get to sleep, and she was asleep making her eruptions, noise,noise everywhere noise.Then one night during this process,I finally get of to sleep, she comes to me in my dream state.
,
To tell me the following

Your killing me! she says!
I,ve got to get my sleep!
I'm on vacation!!

Now when she first showed herself to me she was a young woman with tears in her eyes.She then changed into her now form.And informs me of her circumstance,that she was finding the evolutionary thing to hard and had to have a vacation,she tells me that she loves me, I then wake.

When I woke up I thought to myself,sorry for interrupting your vacation, but Im going through a crisis here. but I do love her and I always will she is my Little angel.

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=18893


And 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".

Here are a couple of accounts that illustrate the universality of souls (all equally deserving of Love, all equally ourselves) :

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...

I know I still have a long road ahead of me, so much to learn but I don't know if i could ever learn to love snakes.
Ever since I can remember i have been terrified of them. I have no words to explain the way I feel at the sight of a snake.
I think the word phobia gets a whole new meaning for me when it comes to snakes.
Can I ever achieve my goals of Love with hate in my heart?
Please share your thoughts with me.

Peace, Love and Light.

oh vickey, I really enjoyed hearing about Tristan, superb mind meld there, and to me, a place where the human race is headed. my daughter had such a relationship with a white fluffy kitty which passed on a few years back and she tried to describle how they looked into each other's eyes and talked. I'm more of a dog person, so didn't understand until you told your story. I do remember this cat as a kitten crawled unto my throat chakra once as I lay on the floor attempting to fight off a huge nicotene craving..the kitten approached me timidly and asked if it could bond with me, I said sure, no problem.it went to sleep on my throat and my craving went away..the purring was healing me. also this cat sent a thought to my mother; who btw is not a cat person either particularly. this cat had experienced a truama; my daughter's boyfriend had attempted to kill it. he was psychopathic. long story.  when my daughter came back to live with me bringing the cat with her, the cat told my mother it was glad to be back home and safe. mom was just walking by the cat, she didn't expect to get this information and was highly amused by it.

a joke is coming: some comedians on stage are really teachers in disguise: one such comedian said "ever wonder why your dog fixates on you, staring at you, and it becomes an irritation why he's staring? as you walk back and forth, puttering about?" ever wonder what he's thinking? He's thinking "yea! I could do that! no sweat! I could be a human!"
"ma chein pense que je suis a otra chein! ouuweee!"

southern star, you may have a deep seated memory of something that happened with a snake involved to uncover. I understand as I have the same phobia, but it's about sharks, not snakes. I don't think hatred is the problem but fear is associated with phobia. you can acheive a neutrality if u talk to the snake in your head and ask it why you are so afraid of it. if it answers you, you can come to terms with it. this thought may be concerned with another life, like a bleed through. I've heard this method can alleviate physical symtoms as well to merely uncover these memories. I haven't bothered to get rid of my shark phobia, as I figure I won't be going into the ocean anyway. not without a stun gun anyway... I don't think we need to love sharks or snakes, so much as just understand their natures and the risk involved in invading their space. there seems to be a certain energetic field we can place around ourselves which wards off attack by animals, but I still don't have a desire to test it out in the ocean...

thank you Kyo for clarifying and going so deep into the subject of consciousness here, as always, I do read and benefit from your presence here.

That is so wonderful to know Mairlyn.  I have always hoped that all my pets there are being loved and looked after!

This is a little off topic, but perhaps it'll contribute in some way.

One night I astral projected. I asked to go to my spirit home as I moved towards whatever my destination was. First I flew loops around some structures in space I couldn't clearly see. Next I flew down to a beautiful lagoon that was located on some planet other than Earth. The lagoon was surrounded by green cliffs. The lagoon's water was perfectly clear, and was inhabitted by beautiful aquatic creatures that sort of looked like jellyfish. They were colored bright green, blue, red and yellow. The sense I got was that I was one of these creatures. At first this bugged me, but then I got the message that what I am has nothing to do with a particular kind of form, and that all forms are equal.

I've been given this message at other times. Another example is when one night some guides flew me around during a lucid dream, and they first assumed the appearance of stuffed animals, then as monkeys, and then as squid like beings. At first I was disturbed, but then I understood the point of their taking on different forms.

Considering the above, animals are probably a lot more similar to us than we sometimes think. "Meow!"

As long as the spirit evolutes it develops the capability of being every time more conscious about it self in the afterlife.
It’s the main reason for most of the animals to remain unconscious in the afterlife.
Generally they are “looked After” for “helpers” with the appropriate skills to asses the best next lifetime in order to improve its progress.

Of course some animals are selected to play an important rule helping "helpers " to help   the human who arrive at the after-life so those animals are maintained conscious relayed at their helpers energetic. (in some cases their owners can keep them conscious through the PUL)

It’s the way that Spirits Doctrine (Alland Kardec) has described such subject.

This is very interesting Dave. In all the books I've read about past lives, I've never read where someone regressed to an animal. Do you know of any books on this?  And you were a worm!    Well, cool.

Love, Mairlyn 

Hi Kardec and Marilyn-
I have resisted the impression that this was truly a regression, since a shift in conscousness to return to the animal state seems more likely. The "divine spark" (I call it the "viewpoint" to get rid of social loading on the term) is pretty much able to go anywhere and do anything. My personal expectation is that the sequence of living should be in the usual ordering of lower to higher, generally in congruent times from prior to present, but that the  viewpoint can move about within various prior states to bring them to awareness at different moments, and thus out of their natural order.

However, I might be wrong, as this is not how it was reported. The actual sequence was reported as a woman in the mountains, her death, next an educational reincarnation as a rabbit, as if the woman had to learn that she was not at fault for the accident. Thus, the woman dies, the rabbit is born, the rabbit becomes someone's dinner and the sequence is discontinuous at the rabbit's death as well, then another woman is born, so the next incarnation was as a person again.

I have no other information about this kind of thing. I'm a fairly active researcher into past life phenomena (I have about 200 hours of recorded sessions, as well as doing lots more past life therapies that aren't recorded) but this is the only time I've seen this.

Interestingly, I have had several instances in which people reported being reincarnated out of temporal sequence, so the report might be literally valid after all. That's why I thought it worth sharing. For example, a person might report one life in the 1800's, the next in the 1200's, then next in 1700's or 1900's whatever.  This is also uncommon.

One other thought, though, is that when I run a session, after going through a death sequence, and the person is reporting experiences in the astral, I often tell people to hold their place in the astral, so I can send them to use various resources in that state. It is possible that the regression backwards to become a rabbit was of this type, a sidetrip occurring by displacement of the viewpoint to a prior event long past, while she remained otherwise on the main forward path, perhaps in some kind of psychic limbo, which is kinda what Kardec was suggesting. Thus this might have been either an actual digression to being a rabbit, or a return to a prior incarnation not otherwise recalled.

dave

Kardec, that's very true. Also, at TMI in one of the programs, I think it was Exploration 27, we experienced merging with the animal, vegetable and mineral kingdom. Also the elements.................earth, air, fire and water. 

Love, Mairlyn 

ROFLOL  Cute Don.

Love, Mairlyn

I thank everyone for there energy ,I know I started with a question of which I already new the answer.

You see my little girl is indeed a soul who has travel this earth plane in human form.As I said earlier she told me she was finding the going ruff the hole evolutionary thing was getting to much for her and she needed a holiday. So here she is with me living the high life,meals fully catered , free range chicken ,stir fry most nights, sleep's on my bed wakes when she feels like it.Walks out in the sun,smelling the ever green parkland just over the
road,it a vacation after all.

I joke about it all the time, I think to myself, if this is a vacation then shes in  first class no expense speared.And one other thing on this vacation she has someone who loves her ,and shows that love to her everyday.What a way to recharge your soul and help you see that through all the pain of evolution you can make it.

We have eternity to grow ,so why not take a little Holiday if your feeling bummed out .What dose it really matter your in for the long ride. I'm so glad she chose me,and when her time here is over I can see her in the astral I'm sure we will be good Friends.

Hi, a little cat story:
Once my mother visited her sister. Then, they heard a sort of crying. It turned out it was a very little cat, left all alone. My mother took it home, it survived and has become a big cat now.
My mother told me, she had a very hard time back then, and looking back this cat was a kind of miracle. She had to be a caring mother for it, and it took her away from her sorrow, which was deeply needed. She said she don't know what would have happened if this little cat hadn't come into her life at this very right moment.

Hi Alysia-
I knew another duck person. My sister-in-law used to mention things that would happen during the time when she was a duck, and also during the time that she was a lady bug. I never quizzed her on it, but it sounds OK to me.

Perhaps this is an area worth further exploration. I wonder if there is a set sequenceof animals we pass through, or whether we have parallel paths through quivalent species. I posted a regression How-To on my site for anyone who needs it. mind-body-spirit-hypnoclinic.com Obviously, that "url" trick you showed me works great!
Thanks-dave

I have a friend here who is a duck lady, that is she has 12 ducks (never had children). They are her babies. I wouldn't doubt a bit now after reading all this that she has a very strong connection to the 'duck world' and was probably a duck in a past life. 

with Love, Mairlyn

I imagine so.  LOL

Love, Mairlyn

Well put Sandra!

My problem is that I often have trouble appreciating what God kinows I need.

dave

you are so right Kardek "and a child shall lead them."
my own kids amaze me by what they know and their years here are less than mine, which shows me how irrelevant is linear time, in terms of knowledge and wisdom. I cannot begin to tell anyone how many times they have caused me to appreciate being alive...
