Do animals reincarnate? Do animals and people share incarnations? Do you believe in the Eastern or Western views of the subject? Jim

Hi Jim, you ask some interesting questions?Animals do have souls, but the question of reincarnation is tricky.However, a great psychic once told me that a lost pet will often return to its favourite owner, and I believe this to be true. Years ago I heard that animals incarnate from the very simplest of organisms and work their way up into more complex, thought- processing animals, ultimately becoming human!!Personally, I can't see the reward here! I think if that were the case then we would have to incarnate into a dolphin or a whale, so like you I remain a little sceptical, but very curious just the same! Anyway, its food for thought!lol!regards, leanne

Hi gang !! Gotta get my two cents worth in here !!LOL!! I believe animals have souls. If you ever watched pets such as cats or dogs closely you can easily see they are capable of love and social behaviour . So I believe that anything with a soul is able to incarnate . Now whether we come back as animals or vice versa , I can't go for that . I agree with Leanne , there is no reward there and I highly doubt that would serve much of a purpose for the higher powers . I am still nice to animals though !!LOL!!

Here's another 2 cents. The scriptures state that God made man in His image. I believe that to be true. Though animals have souls, I don't believe that they ever come here as anything other than animals. People are people...animals are animals. I also agree with what Leanne said about animals coming back to their favorite owners. I have had several animals return to me during my lifetime. Candy

I'm in a rush today but had to reply to this subject. I found a stray kitten a couple days ago. I took her home .. she is so cute! I call her Bisquette, as in Croquette but with a B. Lucy channeled and was told that the kitten followed me to this side! Can you believe this? Maybe I should have called her Angeliquette...ya think? Suzi

Hello Daniel,I believe that animals have a soul, however as a collective soul, i.e all ants together will make the intelligence of the "ants" or the soul of the ants. I also believe that they have to evolve from one form to another, from the smallest form of life (like amebas) to highly intelligent animals like Horses or Dolphins. However I don't believe that humans and animals are related or that we humans "descend from" apes. :o) In this matter I think our creator was just having too much fun making all the things we have to enjoy.I can testify that animals have dreams, and feelings like we do, and they have an amazing capacity for love and forgiveness.
