Reply #4: My own experience is that some animals can have been human [View All]

and no doubt some humans can have been animal, if that is their individual path of spiritual evolution. It is a fallacy to believe one is "higher" than another. Most of us would privately agree that the character of most dogs, e.g., is far better than the character of most humans.

In the case of my cat Nighto, he has always been terrified of being touched by humans. My animal communicator once asked him why. Nighto replied that he had been a young man in his last life who had been tied down on an anthill to die (horrors) and that when humans touched him it felt like ants swarming. This sounds like something that might happen in Africa, and he's a big black male cat, who probably resembles what he looked like as a human.

With his mother, my cat Lilah, I have a personal strong sense that she was once a upper class Roman matron during the classical period. And with my cat Tiger, I just know that he and I were together in India in a former life when we were both tigers, and he was probably my cub. There is a very strong sense in this life that we have been reunited to experience a relationship in that life that was cut short by death, by hunters. In the case of Tiger, I had first given him another name, but it wouldn't stick, kept sliding off like Teflon, and "Tiger" kept repeating itself louder and louder in my mind until I renamed him. Like magic, the new name "took" and became part of him.

I tend to think I decided to come into this life as a human in order to be able to defend animals, and that my own soul group contains souls that have picked different species in different incarnations. And in college I knew a guy named Duke, whose parents had named him after a late family dog, much loved, whom they were convinced had reincarnated in their son.
