On pet dogs

Abe: when you domesticate them, they begin to act like you. (...)

And so, if we were standing in your physical shoes,
we would treat [your dog] just like you would like to be treated,
or like you would like to treat any of your other fellow humans -
Give him your attention before he’s begging for it.
In other words, appreciate him. (...)

What we’ve noticed about [your dog] is, when you are loving him even though you are not involved with him, he is content.

But when he behaves in a way that makes you feel frustrated with him,
then he reflects your frustration back to you.
Your beasts are wonderful little amplifiers like that.

The beasts of the wild are not very good amplifiers of your emotion, they just stay tuned in, tapped in, turned on, and they really don’t give much of a rip about what you’re doing.

But when you domesticate your animals, they begin to reflect your emotions back to you; they do.

And so, take it as a blessing.

When he misbehaves, say to him
“Now what is it that I’ve been doing that you’re reflecting back to me?
Have I been ignoring you?
Well, yes, I probably have, and with good reason - I have these things that I need to do, but it doesn’t mean that I don’t love you.
Now, go away and be loved and let me get on with what I’m doing.”

And with just that conversation with him, watch what will happen.
He hears every single nuance in your vibration,
so you can’t say one thing and mean another.
You can’t say I love you while you’re feeling frustration about his bothering of you because he reads your vibration; he reads it perfectly.

~Abraham speaking West Los Angeles on March 6, 2005

Are some creatures on the planet becoming extinct?

The thing that we notice as we look around your planet
is that so much of what you are calling endangered or becoming extinct,
is actually thriving,
just in a place where you are not.

And we want to give this to you in a way that you can really hear.

Think about yourself, and your attunement to vibrations that feel good to you.
And think about being this pure Being that gravitates to what feels good.
And then think about people moving in next door who are truly annoying. (...)

Can’t you find yourself, in your quest for aligning with your Well-Being, attuning to Well-Being so much that, if what moved in next door is really not a vibrational match to you, that the Laws of the Universe, Law of Attraction, in particular, would cause separation between you and it?

In other words, Law of Attraction says, that which is like unto itself is drawn.
And things that are vibrationally very different, don’t mix together.

The more sensitive you are, the more you naturally follow your instincts.
In other words, your Guidance System is not saying, Go away from that.
Your Guidance System is saying, Come this way/
It is more in harmony with what you are wanting.

So, the beasts of your planet, especially those in the sea,
are very good at following that intuition, and they gravitate toward what feels best to them.
And none of them are down there in those schools,
having conversations about their feeling of responsibility to be where you think they should be. (Fun!)
In other words, they go where they feel best,
not where you’re used to seeing them.

And we’ve got to tell you, you are hardly exploring the seas!
So, don’t worry about them not being there.
They’re where they want to be.
And just because you’re not seeing them, doesn’t mean that they are not, you see.

And, as times change, in terms of tides, in terms of water temperatures, in terms of climate, in terms of all of the factors...
If you, here in your environment are exploring contrast,
and rockets of desires are being born for you,
and your vibrational future’s being held in escrow—
can’t you see that it’s also happening for the sharks in the sea,
or the beasts in the sea,
or even the one-celled amoeba in the ocean?

All of these Consciousnesses are having exposure to experience, which is causing them to launch rockets of desires.

But the beasts are so much more in tune with their Guidance,
They gravitate easily.
It’s only man who hangs around for a long, long time in a place that he’s not happy.

-

We want to say to you, that you live in an evolving, expanding Universe, and Consciousness takes many forms.

Even though some species, you might be noticing that they’re not as prevalent, or not around at all,
they have physical equivalents that have taken their place.
It’s what you call evolution,
And it takes place over time, and it’s all very, very good.

We not only do not see any evidence of a diminishment of Well-Being on your planet,
we see an extraordinary expanding of Well-Being on your planet.



~ Abraham-Hicks

[spiritualcookie]

You animals are beings, created in the way that you are, but with different agreements.
They come forth as physical beings, as you do,
and the Energy that is coming through them is like your Energy,
but coming forth in a different way, with different intent. (...)

Your animals are responding from their Inner Beings
without conscious intervension
in a way that you are not able to do it.

They are not consciously evolved as you are,
and they respond in this physical environmenet more from inner knowing.
It is what you call instinct.

- Abraham, 1988

When a pet dies, are they still around?

HS: I would like to know if what can I tell clients when their animals pass to give them some peace?

Abe: we'll tell you a couple of stories.

So some years ago Jerry and Esther were visiting some friends in Portland
and they saw them once a year. And they always went to their house. And they always had a barbecue, and picked cherries from the big trees. And they always had a nice time.
And their big black dog was always there.
And then this time they showed up and they were having the barbecue and they
were getting all of their cherries picked, and all of the things that they usually did. And they sat down to eat and Esther said:
"Where is this big black furry beast?"
And they both immediately went into sad mode.
Because since Jerry and Esther had been there last, that dog, who was very old in human years, had made his transition.

And Esther said:
"Well, the reason I ask is because he keeps running past!
I've never experienced anything like it!
I keep having this Sensation that he's over there,
and then he's over there,
and then he's over there!
I halfway expected my clothes to be blowing!"

And it was the first time that Esther had ever had an experience with non-physical in a beast.

She's aware that lots of her dearly not so departed are hanging around,
but she had not realized that.

And so relationships are eternal.

-

How can you communicate with or feel the presence of a departed pet?

If you have lost your furry friend, he's not lost.

In fact [he is] still aware of you.
Still aware of you, but this is the most important thing: (...)
You gotta know that being non-physical is really good.
It's Clarity. It's fun. It's free. It's full. It's whole. It's love.

And so, if you are mourning the loss of somebody that's not where you are,
so you're doing Step 1, you're asking,
And furry friend is doing Step 2, is answering,
But you're nowhere near the receptive mode,
so even though Sabbath [the black dog in the story above] is running all over the place for them, all the time too,
they did not even know it!

Their sadness prevented them from recognizing his presence.

Now is he running around there all the time?
No, he's got other things to do.

But any time you are wanting words from anyone,
they're there for you.

-

So if we were standing in your physical shoes and you were wanting to comfort someone,
you've got to know where they are at.

And if they're sad, and they usually are,
you got to say to them:
"I don't blame you for being sad. I get that.
But your [pet] is not sad.
And so if you want to feel [them] then pay attention to when you accidentally get happy; when you're forgetting that you're supposed to be mourning the loss
of someone;
And you forget for a minute and something lifts you out of that for a
minute, and you're accidentally happy for a minute,
and then you get an Impulse about [your departed pet], that's real.

Question:
Why do Birds sing?

Abe:
For the same reasons humans do.

Animals communicate through receiving & transmitting blocks of thought

Physical man often, incorrectly assumes that words or language are necessary for clear communication. (...)

Your animals do not speak, but they receive your blocks of thought, and you are transmitting, and in many cases receiving, blocks of thought from one another.


- Abraham, 1991

[Paradise-on-Earth]

Animals going extinct, natural disasters are happening- how is this "all is well"?
Shouldn't we become activists?


HS:
My question on your statement- "all is well with this planet", I guess what I have a hard time with,
is the rainforest keeps getting diminished, and we're losing tremendous amount of life that will
never be again. And the whales and the Dolphins and all that, how is it all well? And, why are
they letting this happen to them, even though we're causing them?

Abe:
In order to really put this into clearer perspective, we want to ask you a question:
Do you really miss the dinosaurs?
Now, what we want you to hear is, that the balance of your planet is orchestrated from a broader
non-physical level. And your planet in its evolution supports different species.

The energy comes forth, and physically manifests in the way that it's most appropriate to the time
and place. And so, as the species is more beneficial displayed in another way, it happens in that way.

Now that's the basis of what we want you to hear.
The other thing that is very important to hear, is that you are receiving a dramatic distortion from
those who would profit by your believing their lies. In other words, not long ago, a few years ago,
there was a what was reported to be a horrendous and terrible fire in the Yellowstone National Park
and many, including Esther, who loved that place felt great sadness as they read and heard about it.

Not only the death of the animals, which is always uncomfortable- until you realize that they just
re-emerged into non-physical. And then, re-emerged again, into another body! -Younger and friskier.

There was great sadness over the devastation of the forest, until within just a few short years later,
the forests were discovered to be profoundly more nutritious as a result of all of the ash that had fallen
and new species of undergrowth that had been missing for a long time, began to grow and thrive,
supporting the beasts that in many cases were having a hard time there... In other words, they were
surviving but not in the way they were accustomed to wanting.

And so, as you were able to step back from it a little bit, you came to understand that the balance was
actually perfect. You had to look at it not so short-range and a little more long-range to to appreciate
the total effect of the balance, you see. And often man, who has in most lifetimes only somewhere
between an average of 60 to 120 years, you all keep changing that, depending on the amount of joy
that you allow to flow through you.

In other words, the more closely you associate with each other, and the more you push against what
each other do, the shorter your life times become. You don't realize that you all think you're living longer
lives, but you're actually living quite a bit shorter lives than you have in other physical experiences!
Because most of you are pushing against more things, and disallowing more of the energy. But anyway,
it doesn't really make too much difference how long you will allow yourself to be here in this
physical body.

The thing that we want you to hear is, that the physical balance that is orchestrated from non-physical
perspective is always kept in perfect balance. And you have not anything to worry about! Things really
are very well now.

Now, there is much speculation about man's destruction.
Iow., as you talk about the rain forest being destroyed, and we say your planet itself is the greatest destroyer
of of anything- in other words, volcanic activity destroys more than than then man! You are like a small flea
on the back of a very big dog! In other words, you are you are not impacting negatively in the way you
all worry. Or in the way so many of them would have you worried!

It's just man's dislike of himself! In other words, you're so convinced that you're inappropriate, that you just
find lots of ways to express your inappropriateness that's really all that it is.

And so, when you hear someone saying "things are not well, we've got a big trouble spot and we've got to do
something about it!" in your own mind say:
"Okay. I'll imagine it in its perfection. And I'll help to make it better! But I will not give you my money to push against.
I will not join you on your soapbox to condemn somebody. Because all that does, is put me in a place of resistance,
so the energy doesn't flow through me. And when the energy doesn't flow through me, I'm not fulfilling my purpose.

I'm not being the vortex of pure positive energy, that the dolphin is, or the chicken is, or the frog is, or the seagull is!
I'm not fulfilling my purpose. I'm all stocked up and I can tell I am, because I feel rotten. This propaganda that you
send me doesn't open my heart and make me sing -it makes me angry. It makes me want to spit. It makes me want
to write somebody! It makes me want... it makes me want to make them take a look. It makes me resistant!

I can feel that what you're saying is not in harmony with my soul. Because my soul went away when I started reading
what you write (...). You're asking me to experience conditional love! You're saying "I'll give you my money in order
to support this cause, in order to push against these people. And you say there's something inherently wrong here.
I'm full of resistance-

OR I can stand out on the the balcony overlooking this magnificent place that has been here for
eons in different forms, and acknowledge the perfection of the balance of the sea, you see!

What man doesn't realize, he's not able to factor this in, he doesn't understand law of attraction. So man says
"mmm... the fish in the sea are diminishing." and, as he lights his lightboard in vibrational harmony with that belief,
where do you think he is guided to examine the sea? -To the place where there are not fish. And then he says
"oh look I was right! Just as I thought. There are not fish in this sea." But another man, who does not know what is
out there -experiencing the abundance of fish.

So your statistics only cause you to light your light board in a way,
that gives you more of what you've already believed.

That's why we are trying to spread a new rumor: "All is well."

Difference between Animals & Humans

The beast, whether it is your dog or cat or squirrel, or no matter what beast you are affectionately addressing, is,
for the most part, less specifically focused than you are.
He is less of a deliberate creator.
He deciphers contrast less specifically than you do.
Therefore, he creates less deliberately than you do.

The advantage to him in that, is that he does not push against as much.
So he stays more connected to the Energy Stream.
And because he stays more connected to the Energy Stream, he is guided more by intuition, or that which you would call instinct.

Because he reaches his full capability very early in his life, the beast does not mind coming and going frequently because he achieves almost his full capacity almost instantly. So he enjoys his life expression in the fullness of his beingness very quickly.
And so, he comes and goes easily with less resistance than you do.


Excerpted from the workshop in Tampa, FL on Tuesday, January 18th, 2000

-

The human is usually less blended [with Source & their Inner Being, consciously],
usually less allowing of the Energy to flow,
but is more specific.
And that is why the human is seen to be the Creator,
while the beast is more the balancer of Energy.

The purpose of pets

CATS

That cat has come forth to help you
to remember unconditional love.
Haven’t you noticed your cats are your best teachers?

They don’t JUMP through your hoops.
They don’t CARE what you think.
They don’t even often come when you CALL.
[audience laughter] They come when they’re good and ready.
They say to you, If you want to feel bad, do feel bad.
But leave me out of it.
That really IS the attitude of your cat.
They’re tuned in, tapped in, turned on.
They feel wonderful.
They’re not worried about how YOU feel.

Your cat is not gonna be worried about where you are.
Your cat is not going to miss you while you’re on the cruise.
Your cat is in vibrational alignment with Source Energy.
WE WANT THAT FOR YOU AS WELL.

PETS HELP BALANCE OUR ENERGY - THEY HELP US RAISE OUR VIBRATION AND ALIGN

If you’ll just sit and pet your cat -
or somebody’s cat -
Find a cat, for God’s sake!
Find a cat - or anything furry -
and let it train you into a frequency,
that will cause you to allow enlightenment.

You are looking for somebody who makes you go (ITV) easily.
Which means, most of you should marry your dog.

PETS ARE FEEL-GOOD COMPANIONS FOR US

If you really want to find the perfect human relationship,
look for someone who is cat-like.
Likes to be alone- and is happy to be with you.
Happy when you are there, and happy when you're not there.

Licks your face occasionally.
Will take all the scratching and petting you are willing to offer.
Feels secure.
Sleeps when it feels like it.
Hunts when it feels like it.
Basks often.
Meditates regularly,
Never feels guilty, ever ever ever ever EVER.

Does emphatically what he wants to do.
Is always glad to see you
Never cares when you leave.
Seems like the perfect partner- YES!!!!

On Training pets: Can you train all pets? even cats?

The cat is unwilling to change desire or behavior-
it´s just FOLLOWING INTUITION.

Now, you can train anyone to do anything.
You can train your cat, you can bring anyone into alignment-
and really, we like to say that:
-IF YOU ARE REALLY CLEAR about WHAT YOU WANT!

(...) If once you´re having an experience you don´t like,
you´re putting rockets of desire into your Vortex.
But if the CAT´S BEHAVIOR has your attention,
MORE than your Vortex has your attention,
then you are not offering ANY positive influence over the cat!

The cat will be a cooperative component!
The cat doesn´t want to be an uncooperative component.
The cat IS FOLLOWING THE PATH OF ITS LEAST RESISTANCE.

And the cat is not as picky about its path of least resistance,as you are.
And so, if you are really wanting to evoke
from ANYONE behavior, that is more pleasing to you,
you´ve gotta get your attention on the pleasing behavior-
and off the unpleasing behavior.

And that´s a discipline, that most don´t have.
Because, when you find something that you don´t want,
you give your attention to it.

And when you give your attention to it, you shine a spotlight
on it, and you offer a vibration about it- and the cat thinks:
"THAT must be the place I´m supposed to pee."

Because, THAT is where all the attention is!
(...) If you would put your attention on what you WANT,
and take your attention off what you don´t want, your cat will
show you, what your power of influence is!

But (...) when you set out to control behavior that you don´t like-
where is your attention?
Where is your vibration?
What´s your point of attraction?
What becomes your point of attraction- and ALL cooperative components...
cats, that have never been in your house will come, and pee
on the same spot!

And you all say, "Oh, they are just arguing about who gets to mark the territory!"
And we say: NO, THEY ARE NOT!!!
They are coming to the pee-point-of-attraction!
