hello, was just reading another thread about the afterlife and animals and was reminded of a conversation I had with my sister in C1 and she was a spirit. (passed on) she was the argumentative type, lol, so I knew it was really her!

all her life she attended to horses. she bred, trained and rode them in shows..her devotion was incredible to see, her love for these huge animals was obvious, so it should not have surprised me when Iasked her what she was doing on the other side. she said she worked in some stables and grounds attending to horses that have been abused to restore their lovely trusting natures to what they had been before being abused. also I reflected later on her relationship with her husband of 20 yrs. she was like the dominant person in that relationship I remember. her husband abused her horses and she tried to teach him the right way to train them. also on her deathbed he was cheating on her. after she died my mother, who dreams like I do, had a dream visit with my sisters husband. he was crying; he said sis would not see him when he came calling on the other side. he wanted to make up. she had another buea (spelling?) on the other side, (I had seen this too) he asked mother to ask her to see him. but it was too late and mother would not have done this anyway.

I remember telling sis I loved horses too and that I was proud of her to help them. I do love horses, but I fell off one one day and I made up my mind then as it was such a shock to me, that I like the animals better that are fuzzy and I can hold in my arms. lol.

hugs, alysia

I always wondered laffingrain... If fish were able to blink, and they had some fur on them, would people be more inclined to nurture/foster them instead of fish for them? LOL!

Maybe in the hereafter the fish will bat their eyes at us, and pur gently as we pet them! LOL!!!

CA, question: do u think the reason that cows have gotten a disease is because their oversoul is tired of being raised only to be eaten? its not so bad to eat a cow spiritually, but its inhuman the way they are killed; they all seem to know whats coming; or a few do and try to break out of line. I think that's sad. I even read a story where a cow broke free and was such a runner and fighter that someone took pity on him for wanting to live and took it home. I'm a sap for stories like that. I'd like to own a farm and take in the homeless critters.

fish...never wanted to cuddle one! but thank you Cathy; I see the heart can grow fond of anything!

I do have a funny story about fish but theres probably? some logic in there somewhere. I was sitting in a cafe where they had an aquariam with tropical guys in it, about 8 rather large beautys. they were all over the tank. I started thinking about them, what they were thinking about, how pretty each one was..I don't know what I was thinking, just enjoying them I guess..one came to the side of tank and looked up with one eye and just stayed there. every single fish came to that side where I was sitting and looked at me and stayed there. I thought, what, is this fish communion? I thought later, maybe they thought I was gonna feed them?
anyway, it was fun to think they liked me or something! ha ha!

Romain, I had a dream of my old dog Dharma last night.. I'm pretty sure it was a visit because It felt real and I was feeling her fur and looking into her eyes. And I kept thinking to myself.. this is real, this isn't a dream.  I think that's how I've come to determine what's a dream or not. When I say, this is real to myself, and it's not all fuzzy and weird like a dream can be. 

speaking of healing touchs Rhonda yes it's possible you did heal your fish for a period. i used to do a lot more healing stuff than I do now and noticed it needs repeating sometimes.
getting away from animals topic but my daughter and I had some interesting healings. she was around 10. both kids used to get these tiny skin lumps. calsium deposits I think they're called. they come and go by themselves. but this one lump on her wrist wouldn't go away, smaller than a dime, like a pea size. she kept complaining every few weeks to me. I thought it would go away but it didn't. I guess she would bump it doing school work. so finally I got out some aloe vera and decided to use my mind also to "see it not there."
so at night time before bed I rubbed some aloe on it and kept seeing it to go away as I rubbed it, all the while adoring my child, and the look in her eyes of the way she believed. well in the morning it was gone! not even a trace of it, just dissolved. these things can get real hard, so whatever we did it worked.

this same daughter had a headach once and she cured her own headach after I told her to imagine something.
I told her to see a little colored light coming into the brow as I didn't want her running to me for everytime she had a pain but want her to do it.

well she surprised me! she came running in and said MOM! a little door was between my eyes and it opened up and now my headachs all gone!
now she's 33 yrs old and I think she's forgotten all about how she can heal herself, but she's basically healthy.  cheers, alysia

back to animal stories....I lost my old miniature snauzer mix when a garage door got blown open by wind. I was in hell for a month to search for her. she was losing her memory cells too.
the first event of note to happen was smelling her sulphur smell in the room really really strong. I've never had a paranormal smell experience, sound and vision, and even touch,  but this the first time for the nose. you've heard of this where people will smell the perfume somebody wore. I ran into every room in the house sniffing..the only room it was in was the living room where I did most of my living and sleeping.
the living room was very large and whichever end of it I ran too, the smell followed me. I was testing this to see if it was paranormal. I even went outside for the source. nothing there. came back in and just knew it was my Tutti come to me. at the same time I realized it was her I thought she must have died. then I got heartsick very bad and started to realize I was to say goodbye to her now and I didn't want to accept that of course. since I knew her little spirit was in the room I asked guidance but where? guidance said right there where your feet is. I was enveloped in the deepest gratitude and love and heartbreak and guilt for I blamed myself she wandered away. I got on my knees and though I couldn't feel anything solid I imagined her to be there and I placed my arms around her and did a very spiritual hug putting all the love I had into her for her journey to where they go.
I had had her 14 years.

then I went obe after that a few weeks later to find her. I found her sitting on a back porch and I was very lucid and filled with joy to find her. she wasn't clear enough, I wanted to look closer, guidance said to zoom in like a camera lens, as mind is like this ability to zoom into focus what it wants. it was very swift movement and I, or my awareness, was 2" from brown limpid eyes which looked healthy now. as I looked deep within her pools of eyes to see if she was happy I was only looking into my own eyes and I saw that I was inside my dog.

it helped me anyway. i think we do help their evolution and she seemed to be saying not to be sad anymore as she could feel my sadness.
cheers, alysia

Boris, did u feel strange when the fish all came and looked at you and mine just stayed there the longest time, even struggling a little for the best ringside seat! lol!

I didn't know what to think except that I had brought their awareness over to me. so glad that you said this happened to you too! I really tried to rationalize it, that their water needed changing, the place had new owners who might not feed them enough...and I have to realize this may have been partially the cause, yet, when I wasn't thinking about them, they just acted normal and did not notice me. so who knows?
