The Animal Kingdom

This is dedicated to Tinkerbell, a very much loved rabbit who has left us to return home.

 God bless you my brothers and sisters.  It is with great love and joy that I walk upon your beautiful blue planet of earth.  I come in answer to your prayers.  I would say to you, “All things bright and beautiful, all creatures great and small.  All things wise and wonderful, our Master loves them all.”

 It is written that the lion shall lie down with the lamb and in God’s kingdom, this is so.  There are known teachers who have been given birds and animals names – such as White Eagle and the White Dove of Peace.  Upon your earth world they would tear each other to pieces but in the world of spirit, they are pure love.  The teachers, who choose these names, take them with great love, passing on their message to the children of the Father, that you may have a greater understanding of all of His kingdom.

 Animals come to you in service and although you may think you have chosen them, they have, in fact, chosen you.  They are part of your pathway, there to teach you discipline and to remind you that they are in your safe care and keeping and yet, are you not in theirs?  Do not they learn to reach inside you and have they not learned your ways?  They become a part of you.

 If each one of you were to recount through the days with the animals you have loved, you would remember that they aggravated you and made you do things above and beyond your normal wants and how you had to return early from something that you were enjoying.  You will recall how you could not go here or there because of their demanding love and because of the disciplines that they imposed upon you without saying a word, with just a look!   That is why I say, they have chosen to be in service to you and, as you have been taught, you can never lose love.  Love is the one thing that you will take from this world of earth – this, and hopefully the lessons you have learnt.

It goes without saying that they have taught you many lessons along their small pathway but above all, they gave you an honourable love.  If they did not like what you were doing they did not conceal it as you who are privileged human beings can so easily do.  The animal kingdom will not pretend and yet will always forgive, and go on loving you.  It is because of their love that they have the ability to get into your hearts and minds and to win you from lifetime to lifetime.

 In the spiritual realms, the animal kingdom is as real as yours and, as you can never forget them, they can never forget you for you have made your mark and will be remembered but, although their presence is as real today as it was yesterday, they can only be recalled back through the power of love.  Perhaps when you first saw your animal you thought that you alone had done the choosing.  Not so, my children.  They choose you as much as you choose them.  They become as much a part of your life as your very own children for you are their custodians.  They are put into your safe care and keeping for you to love and cherish, to feed, and to find humanity and love. 

We have brothers and sisters within the Order of the White Robe who dedicate their spirituality towards caring for the animal kingdom.  It is their job, as one of many, to bring them to you to help you along your pathway, for they are much more than love.  They are a communication between souls.  They make links of understanding beyond human frailties so, therefore, is not their love divine?  Do you think that they are lesser than the children of the Father?  Perhaps this is another meaning of ‘in my Father’s house there are many mansions’ many kingdoms.  One day you will understand the progression of the animal kingdom.  They have progression.  They have feelings.  They have the universal key. 

Did your animal love you?  Devote itself, to you?  Therefore, can you question?  The greater the love, the closer to the Father.  Are these not too then, the children of the Father?  They may not, perhaps, be advanced to your level of understanding but they have love and, as such, are part of the Father for, as you know, God is pure love.   

If you have earned their love, they will be there to greet you, showing themselves to you as you once knew them.  For, remember, life is perpetual and I would remind you, you can never lose love.  It is the only thing that you take with you from this world to the next.
