Animals: Equal Spirits
By Samantha McGovern
As a clairvoyant, my clients often ask about their pets. Some want to know if their pets are reincarnations of previous pets they’ve known or if their pets serve a special purpose in their lives other than the obvious shared affection and companionship. The answers I receive to both questions are almost always yes!
First, let me explain: Animals of all kinds, including human beings, are equal spirits. Just as we human beings have lessons to be learned and gifts to share with others during our physical experiences, so do domesticated pets and untamed animals. Ted Andrews, author of Animal-Speak, states, “Every existing creature manifests some aspect of the intelligence or power of the Eternal One...” I happen to agree with Mr. Andrews.
During my psychic readings, I often receive information regarding pets by connecting with them through spirit. Some animals are here to comfort us in times of loneliness and trouble, some offer messages from above, while others, as if they were angelic beings, are sent to rescue us from danger or warn us about life-threatening situations.
Regarding reincarnation, all animals reincarnate. I’ve learned, however, that they -- rather we -- don’t always come back as the same species or sex. Because we are all equal in spirit, we can choose any form of incarnation depending on the lessons involved and time requirements for those lessons. Consider this: A deceased grandparent needs to, for whatever reason, spend a few years with an incarnate grandchild who is not of child-bearing years. Could this special grandparent actually become the family pet until a more opportune human experience avails with the grandchild? Whether you believe so or not is your personal choice, but you might want to reconsider how you are treating ol’ Grandma/Fido! The possibilities are endless!
As messengers, some animals offer themselves as prey for our domesticated predators. Next time the cat brings in a lizard, think about it. Can the lizard teach you something? Is there a message? Next time a cricket irritates you with its chirping, ask yourself why. I just bet the chirping ceases when you seek the meaning. Anytime an animal appears to you personally, meditatively, or in dreams, ask yourself why. What is the meaning?
There are many books and resources, including Animal-Speak, that can help you determine the significance of (other than human) animals. If we human beings would simply take the time to discover the significance of different kinds of animals in our lives, we could acquire a tremendous amount of knowledge and understanding about the unity we share. Then we will uncover a deeper, more infinite glory with all who share in the “Eternal One” during our Earth experiences.
