Many years ago I got an astrological chart from the Tibetan Men-Kang in Dharamsala, that predicted I would be reborn either as a yogi or a chicken. My immediate action was to ask my Guen-La to please be sure to be reborn vegetarian so he wouldn't eat me! Had I been headed for yogihood I would have probably been glad to supply a meal for someone in need. As it is, I think chickenhood is more likely!🤣
Interesting, Philippa, but a key aspect of karma is that it is dynamic. It is not Fated that you will be a this or a that - even in the next minute, because we constantly have choices in the actions we take, which will culminate in very different results. So hold off on thoughts of chickenhood for the moment. Perhaps he was just trying to shock you into action!!
I’ve always thought we are all and everything simultaneously tho our consciousness as human form isn’t able to “know “ that to be…when we save a bug or an animal are we not experiencing them as us ,how it feels to be valued as a life worth living with a beating heart of a bird or with the purpose of a bee or an ant? To me it’s as simple as all life is sacred and even as a child I somehow knew it wasn’t the form we took to live in but the experience it brought to be this or that.Life is a dream ,a stage, all the cliches but isn’t everyone’s true goal to get back to source and while we are manifesting that here on Earth we do our best, create for God/ Goddess/ Universe , be kind and eventually go home….❤️ After all our karma is completed….Thank you.
Thank you so much for sharing your vision, Adrienne. The dream-like quality to life was something constantly referred to by Buddha - the Awakened One - himself.
I very nearly chose not to read this because I assumed you, like most, would express the impossibility of human energy being reborn into another form of being. I finally chose to read it and was relieved to read your explanation of why it is possible.
I choose to believe it is possible mainly because I honor the concept that we all want the same things (which you refer to here) and to my mind nothing else is more important because it shows us how aligned we all really are. If we all come from the same energetic pool then we are one and the physical differences we display during an incarnation aren’t pertinent when considering reincarnation. Thank you, David. 🌹
Ah David - always a thought provoking and lovely read. Just wanted to also let you know I’m putting in a request to come back to live the life of HHC - who knows - perhaps there ARE parallel universes that would allow that to take place :-)
If we are just beings composed with atoms/molecules, that when we die, we can become any other being . We grow our body due to food that we eat and collect this from soil and when we die, we return to soil.
Is difficult to understand what you say, it is because is not scientifically proven, however I believe that things/concepts that we can't explain objectively, only know that we know/feel.
Thank you for your wonderful book of 4 paws of spiritual success.
Certainly, makes you reconsider taking the life away from any living thing 🙏🏽💜❣
Indeed! Thanks Lynn.

David, you have a wonderful gift of capacity to articulate complex concepts.
At times I reread or re-listen to find my new or deeper understanding.
Thank you I deeply appreciate your words 🙏🏽
My heartfelt thanks for you kind message, Pat!
The concept of “human exceptionalism” has preceded most of the injustices and horrors of the world...
I agree, David! Thanks for your message.
As always, a very thought provoking read- thank you
Many thanks indeed, Sue!
Thanks David. Always a lovely read on a Saturday
I appreciate your supportive responses, thank you Tom!
I think the afterlife will be very exciting and we will have lots of options on how to grow, exist, help others and to just be....
It's certainly good to take a positive view, Trisha! Many thanks.
I love and concur with this. Humans are such an arrogant and species centric breed.
I want to come back as a Raptor with freedom of flight without boundaries, I do not want to come back as a human.
Many thanks indeed, Sheila. I can see you circling in the thermals over the African savannah!
Always felt this; believe it AND good to *see* it spoken out loud!!
So glad the Dharma is resonating with you, MaryAnn!
Thank you so much for this excellent message! How completely appropriate to the situation I am going through
I am really glad that it helps, thank you Misha!
