Those of you who are animal lovers, as John is, know your animal family
live beyond the veil of death, just as you do.
Those who love you, whether they were human or animal in their physical
form, never leave you. They often have a desire, beyond the grave, to
help you and to continue loving you. That is often why you see, or feel,
or hear what you might call "ghosts."
Animals, especially your domestic pets (as you call them) -- and
especially dogs and cats -- are more often than not your teachers. They
have little to learn from you. But you have much to learn from them.
Dogs and cats do not incarnate (or reincarnate) with the same "life
plan," if you will, as humans do.
If there is one major lesson your pets have to teach you, it is this:
Live in the moment! And this: Love unconditionally.
Your pets find joy, passion, and pleasure in every moment of their
physical lives. Even when they appear to you to be suffering from some
physical illness or injury.
Pets -- and all animals, in fact -- have no fear of illness or death.
And, more importantly, they have no fear of life. Hence they immerse
themselves in all the pleasures of physical existence. And they do it
without hesitation and without guilt.
They are fully alive in every moment. Not a bad role model for you to
follow!
Animals do not live with the same "agendas" you humans do. They have no
desire to control or manipulate their fellow creatures, human or animal.
Their intent is to simply live freely and joyously.
They see little difference between life and death.
No matter how awful (or peaceful) their transition from life to death
appears to you, those transitions are always easy and effortless to them.
And when they arrive "on the other side," they continue their joyful,
exuberant, and happy lives, romping and playing with abandon.
They often return to visit you. As do your human loved ones. But most of
you are not open, at least not fully open, to that happening for you.
When you do not believe, you cannot see. You often say, "When I see it,
I'll believe it." But it's always the other way around -- when you
believe it, you'll see it.
John, obviously, believes in life after death, as most of you do. But he
also believes in, and often experiences, "visits" from loved ones,
animals and human, who have "died."
It's all a matter of vibration. If you believe, you vibrate in a
positive way. And then you open the "doorway" to those beings who, on
the "other side," are vibrating at that same high level.
You never lose those you love. If you remain open to them, "alive" or
"dead," you will always be comforted by them. You will feel their
presence, their energy.
And you will know you are loved.

Such is human psychology that if we don't express our joy, we soon cease
to feel it...
