The mysterious world of animal people
To truly know animals, you must be able to enter into them
and thus identify with them.
'According to their nature and their way of life, animals are predestined to absorb both the positive and the negative energies circulating in the atmosphere. In this way, people can discharge onto them all the negative forces tormenting them. Many people do this unconsciously on their pets.
Why are there some who are more attached to their pets than they are to human beings? Some people become ill after the death of their beloved pet. Others, when they have to go away, write letters full of love that someone has to read to them.
This seems ridiculous, but such actions can be explained. Suppose you have a cat: it could be that the soul of someone who helped you in the distant past has come into the cat and is claiming your affection now. When you are stroking it, you do not know exactly who it is you cherish: is it your cat or a being you knew a long time ago whose soul has come to live in it for a little while?
Events also occur because a human soul has entered an animal’s body. There have been cases where animals have saved the lives of people or sometimes caused their death in a way that cannot be explained. In these cases, souls have entered the animals for a short while so that they can repay the good or the evil done to them in the past.
Actually, the reasons for which a human soul can enter an animal’s body are extremely varied.
Some do it voluntarily in order to learn something. A naturalist who is studying an animal will examine its structure, its physiology, and point out all the peculiarities of its way of life and its behaviour. After that, they think they know it well. Well no, in order to know animals well, you must be able to go into them, identify with them, and that is why highly evolved beings take on this experience when they want to study the animal kingdom. They know what goes on in the mind of a horse, an ant or a cicada. Yes, even a cicada.
You will say, ‘But that is crazy and, above all, impossible!’ No, it is neither crazy nor impossible. I am not saying that it ought to be done, but that we do not really know a creature unless we have been able, if only for a moment, to enter it and identify with its life. It is an essential aspect of the science of life. Those who are content to experience only their own lives limit themselves.
So, in order to attain higher levels of evolution, human souls or even the souls of angels will pass through special ordeals which compel them to live for a short while in the body of an animal.
Why do some peoples still think of animals as so sacred that they form a cult around them? Because they know they can be inhabited by spirits who are superior to those of human beings. This passage of souls through the animal kingdom will remain a mystery for a long time yet, and it would be interesting to research the place given to animals in different cultures. Many tribes have seen various animals as their ancestors or as their civilizing heroes and, in each case, it would be worth the time and effort to try and understand why.'
