ANIMALS, CREATURES and CRITTERS
I died as a mineral and became a plant,
I died as a plant and rose to animal,
I died as an animal and I was man.
Why should I fear? When was I ever less by dying?
Yet once more I shall die as man,
to soar in the Blessed Realm;
but even from godhood I must pass on…
The Mathnawi as recorded in The 21 Lessons of Merlyn

Animals, creatures and critters are connected to us by our God-Spark of life. It is important to acknowledge they are all on a spiritual journey, just as all 2–legged earthlings are. We need to respect their life and their journey. The domestic animals (dogs, cats, horses, etc.) are a part of our soul group and as such are with us through as many lifetimes as needed.
Swat a fly, kill a wasp, poison an ant, we are ending their spiritual journey here. Offer prayers for their heart and soul. Something as simple as “Bless your heart to the heart of the Creator” will give peace to their journey home. Ask the blessings of the Creator to accept these animals, creatures and critters back into His kingdom. There, their souls will take a break, rest, and come back again. Think for just a minute about the animals, creatures and critters who have returned to God’s kingdom. This is millions of souls, incomprehensible amounts of living energy.
Each animal, creature and critter has individual meanings from the higher dimensions. Their messages appear to us in Divine Timing under the guidance of the Light beings of both our world and the world of the animal, creature or critter involved. As we receive their messages, we need to be constantly aware that their messages are coming to us from the higher dimensions of Light for our soul growth.
As conscious, living energy, these animals, creatures and critters understand who we are and how we “shape up” as caregivers. And they know with absolute certainty why they have come into our lives. Can we imagine what kind of feelings these animals, creatures and critters will carry back to the Spirit world as a direct result of our care giving? And can we imagine, in a future world when they return to us, would we welcome these souls back into our energy fields to experience the same care giving we offered to them?
Let us strive each day to show the animals, critters and creatures in our world that we acknowledge and honor their spiritual journey alongside ours. Always, be kind, compassionate and loving to all animals, creatures and critters, as so many are angels that have come into our lives specifically to us to help us. We never know which members of our soul group have returned to us in a lower form to offer their love and Light to our hearts.
