I openly admit that I believe in reincarnation. It goes against some of the beliefs that were taught to me, but I trust my Faith more than I do the words of men. The concept of Reincarnation has given me more answers than questions.

One of the common denominators throughout various reincarnation believers is that just like humans, animals reincarnate in our soul family groups. Simply put, there is a cast of spirits that are on the same “return cycle” as you, and you keep running into each other. The animals in your life now, have very likely been in your life before, as an animal.

This post is a sympathy card to a dear friend, who just lost a family member… a dog named Beij. I never met him, but would share his “human” with him whenever she took him and his brother out to poop. She’d call me while walking and stopping, and we’d share the Rocky Mountain air together.

I couldn’t tell you if Beij was a Great Dane or a Chihuahua, I just knew he was “one of the boys”.

This week it was discovered that Beij had jaw cancer, and the decision was made to take his puppy spirit out of that inflicted body, and set it free to get back into “return cycle”.

Anyone that has gotten close to a pet (or read Watership Down) knows that there is so much more to a pet than just fur and poop. They are an unconditional friend that just wants a life of comfort and love. If you give it to them…you get it right back.

When they are gone, you feel that void created by their absence. Even a corner or hallway can tease your glance, looking for their eyes looking back. This is the price of love.

They would be doing the same thing if you were gone. That is the reward of love.

Remember the hugs, cuddles and energy that was created by him. You did your job…you gave him the life that God created him to have.

Now prepare for his return…only not as a human. There does not seem to be any cross-reincarnating. Since animals have mastered Unconditional love and humans have not, it would be going backwards for an animal to come back as a human!
