Last week, Victoria wrote me about the amazing floral signs in sight and scent that her late cat Tiki used to communicate that he was fine on the other side, and that he was still around. Victoria asked some good questions about what happens with pets on the other side, and agreed to let me share them with you.

VICTORIA WROTE:
My husband does not believe in spirit - I would say he’s
agnostic. Since this has happened (Tiki's signs and scents of flowers) he’s been asking me about the other side and
what I think happens to people/animals after they die. I’ve always been a
spiritual person and have read many books by people like Sylvia Browne
and James Van Praagh. I’ve also been to many mediums and would say I’ve
had “psychic” visions in the past (they scared me when I was younger, so I
tried my best to turn away from it, but recently have opened myself up more).
It warms my heart that this experience, although sad and devastating, has begun
to open my husband’s mind to the possibility there’s life after death.
He has asked me a question that I don’t really know, and I was hoping you could
help with.
When animals die and go to the spirit world, what is it that they do
there?
I’ve
read that people often times have jobs that they do on the other side, but what
about animals?
I understand that “time” as we know it doesn’t
exist, but what do animals do on the other side once they’ve passed over?
MY RESPONSE:
Your husband does not need to believe in a god to know believe there's
life after death. As I mentioned in my book(s), it's all about energy. The
energy that is within our bodies has to go somewhere after our physical bodies
die, so it couples with our personalities and memories and joins all of the
energies that run through the cosmos. Existence in general is energy, and
energy cannot be destroyed only transformed. Religions call it
"heaven" or "valhalla" or many things. I consider it
joining the energies of the cosmos- and that collective consciousness is
basically what "god" is.
WHAT ABOUT JOBS ON THE OTHER SIDE? - We actually don't need
"jobs" on the other side, but we and our pet children's spirits take
on tasks, and the usual task is to help and guide our relatives still in the
physical plane. So, Tiki's spirit is thriving with all of your relatives on the
other side, doing what he did here- show unconditional love.
Tiki will also very likely
influence you which pet to choose whenever you're ready to give another
homeless pet a loving home. They do that, and that's one of their
"jobs" if you will. They want other pets to experience the love they
did when they were here.
Come out and say hello at the Carroll County Pet Expo this Saturday, June 14 - 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Rob will be doing Book Signings at the "Pets and the Afterlife" booth!
