from Jesus:
As explained elsewhere,
people do not generally reincarnate as animals. Angels likewise do not
generally disguise themselves as animals. However, what you are sensing
is that many animals can indeed have a spiritual being, a spiritual
presence, within them.
Many modern people look back at the fairy tales of the past as being
just fantasy. It is, however, a fact that many people in ancient times
had opened their spiritual sight and could see what has been called
nature spirits or elemental beings. These are beings that serve to uphold
and maintain the balance of nature. As everything on this Earth, these
nature spirits can be burdened by negative energy that is generated
by human beings. When the burden becomes too great, you see the outpicturing
of various natural disasters, such as violent storms, tornadoes or earthquakes.
As I explain throughout this website, everything is created from the
consciousness of God, and therefore everything has a form of consciousness.
Even a rock has a certain rudimentary form of consciousness. Living
beings have a higher form of consciousness.
An animal does not have an individual soul as a human being does. However,
many animals do have a nature spirit abiding within them, and this is
what gives them a greater personality than other animals. This can especially
be true for a pet which is greatly loved by a human being. When you
love a pet, you can either attract a nature spirit to abide in that
pet, or if the animal already has a nature spirit, you can enhance the
spiritual growth of that spirit. Obviously, by mistreating the animal
you can also hinder the spiritual growth of the spirit.
Many people have a great love for animals because they are spiritually
sensitive and sense that some animals do indeed have a nature spirit.
This is obviously the case for you. However, it is important to develop
discernment.
Not all animals have a nature spirit. And even if they do, the nature
and purpose of these spirits is to serve human beings. You might recall
the following statement from the Bible, “And God blessed them,
and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the
earth, and subdue it:" (Genesis 1:28). This does not mean that
human beings have the right to treat other forms of life any way they
want. It does mean that in the hierarchical structure created by God,
animals are lower life forms than human beings, and therefore animals
can progress spiritually only by giving service to humans.
This gives rise to a very subtle distinction that can be difficult to
understand with the human intellect. On one hand, I greatly honor the
people who are sensitive to all forms of life. On the other hand, I
do not wish to see these people take their sensitivity to the extreme
and become fanatical. For example, you will see some animal rights activists
who act as if the cause of animals was more important than the cause
of human beings. In reality, this planet's reason for being is to serve
as a platform for the spiritual evolution of human souls.
There is indeed a progression in all stages of life. Therefore, the
nature spirits can progress to higher levels of consciousness. In fact,
a nature spirit can progress to receive the divine spark that turns
it into a soul. Some human beings currently embodied on planet Earth
did indeed start their spiritual evolution on this planet as nature
spirits. That is why you find some people who have a great attunement
to nature or to the earth mother.
The key to the progression
of nature spirits is to serve human beings. This does actually mean
that, given the current conditions on planet Earth, nature spirits can
indeed progress spiritually by providing food and other forms of service
to human beings.
You see, one cannot necessarily reason that it is wrong for people to
kill animals and use them for food, leather or other products. There
will come a time when the spiritual growth of humankind has progressed
to a level, where it will no longer be necessary to kill animals. Yet
at the current level of spiritual development, a sensitive and humane
use of animals is actually for the mutual benefit of both human beings
and nature spirits.
In other words, there does not need to be a conflict between your sensitivity
to animals and the fact that your husband is a hunter. He might simply
have attuned his consciousness to the reality that it is currently permitted
for human beings to hunt animals for food. However, your husband should
realize that there is no excuse for treating animals cruelly. Killing
an animal in a humane way is one thing, treating it with cruelty is
something entirely different, and it is most certainly not in people's
own best interest to do so.
Inasmuch as you have done it unto the least of these my little ones,
you have done it unto me. The universal Christ consciousness is found
in all life, and therefore you should treat all life with basic respect
and dignity.
There is a fundamental difference between hunting for food, killing
your prey as quickly and humanely as possible, and hunting as a form
of entertainment. It is never right to treat animals in a way that inflicts
unnecessary cruelty and pain.
It is certainly correct to call for the spiritual protection of Archangel
Michael upon animals. It would also be highly beneficial for people
to call for the spiritual protection of the nature spirits and to use
the Violet Flame to consume the burden of negative energy that humankind
has imposed upon nature spirits. However, in the current situation the
best thing you could possibly do to lighten the burden of the nature
spirits is to give the miracle
rosary released by my beloved mother.
