The Spirit Cat

Berna and I took a few days off this past weekend in the northeastern part of The Netherlands. It’s a beautiful rural area, known for its prehistoric tombs, called “hunebeds,” dating back to 4000-3000BC.

The hunebeds are the oldest monuments in the Netherlands. They are prehistoric tombstones built by the Funnelbeaker people using boulders Mother Nature transported to Drenthe during the Ice Age. Drenthe has no fewer than 52 hunebeds in a 30-kilometre radius.

We went to one of them last weekend. When we walked back to the car, seemingly out of nowhere, a beautiful, multi-colored cat came running happily toward us.

He rubbed up against our legs, acting as if he’d known us forever. We were baffled. Most cats we’ve known are shy and do not take the initiative when approaching human strangers.

Spirit “popped in” while we were playing with the cat. They said this was no ordinary cat. They called him a “spirit cat.”

Spirit

After their cat encounter, Berna and Johnny were wondering what (or who) this cat was.

Our observation of humans over thousands of years now, has clearly shown us humans, as a group, have very distorted views of their animal partners and companions.

You see them mostly as “things” or objects, only a part of your physical world. Like rocks or trees or oceans. But nothing more.

We wish to clearly explain to you they are far more than that.

Of course, all that exists in your physical world is part of God, or Spirit. But humans and animals (that is, everything possessing a conscious awareness) are especially advanced aspects of Spirit or God.

That cat Berna and Johnny met was as much, and as powerful, a part of God as humans are.

That cat (and all animals) possess the divine awareness that you humans generally claim as your own exclusive possession.

We want to be clear in this–the awareness of so-called “dumb” animals is as powerful, and as advanced, as what you claim as yours as human beings.

Obviously, there are different “levels” of awareness. Animals have levels different from humans. Humans, even, have different levels of awareness from each other.

There is no “lower” or “higher,” “better” or “inferior” here. You are all equal. You are all divine beings. You could say, in Goddess’s eyes, you are all the same.

Different, yes. Inferior or superior, no—never!

What we’ve said here today, obviously, is that all that exists is God. Goddess. All are equal. Different? Yes. Superior or inferior—never!

All of this has obvious and deep meanings in so many parts of the human experience.

Here are a few areas to consider: human diets—vegetarian or not, laboratory animal experiments, treatment of domestic pets, how you treat so-called “wildlife,” your zoos (awful at worst, benign at best), etc. etc.

We shall explore this subject further in upcoming posts.
