“Believe something and the Universe is on its way to being changed. Because you've changed, by believing. Once you've changed, other things start to follow. Isn't that the way it works?” ― Diane Duane, So You Want to Be a Wizard

Divine Gracie

“To sit with a dog on a hillside on a glorious afternoon is to be back in Eden, where doing nothing was not boring - it was peace.” - Milan Kundera

And still I wonder...

Animals are a constant ally. They come to me in physical and spirit form. In meditations, dreams and waking visions, I have even experienced a transmigration of being as I felt myself morph into various animal forms.

Awed by the intensity, there is no "lesser" presence of awareness when embodied in that state of other being. In a way, it felt tremendously vibrant and closer to source.

One day I may find the words to share what I went through with my dog, Gracie. How to explain or define the sort of alternate reality I fell into and managed to survive with her help at every step escapes me.
Gracie in her world of serenity and grace.

Maybe someday a description will make itself clear.

There is no better companion to have than a dog who knows you better than you know yourself and stands beside you when a contrary element of the paranormal shows up to test your soul metal and that animal companion then runs interference to activate and restore a link to the light.

Gracie saved my life -- helping me to navigate a supernatural obstacle course no human companion could have prepared me for. We found a way to communicate via a telepathic code. That energy shifted after the crisis and the communication now is less direct but our relationship was forever changed.

My respect grew tenfold. I had no idea how very important she would be when I adopted her, only that her presence gave me joy and light.

When I had to face a life-threatening situation, she opened my eyes to a side of her, and of reality in general, that I could not have seen until it played out in front of me. While she was unable to speak to tell me the details about a clear and present danger manifesting in shadow form outside my physical view, she did manage to get my attention.

And she endured a lingering trauma I could only suspect later, after realizing a significant change in her behavior due to that presence.

Animals are entirely capable of expressing levels of greater awareness and intelligence that goes unnoticed and/or unappreciated due to the nature of Humans to limit communication to visible and audible behavior. The focus is primarily on body language. And that is valid, however, it is also an oversight. See Rupert Sheldrake: Telepathy

Humans and non-humans pursue completely disparate life paths and species roles. There lies a great divide. Non-humans rely on nature as sustenance. Humans (most) view nature as a commodity. What to do? Methods exist to bridge the gap. Those telepathic talents are slowly being recovered, expanded and enhanced as more stories are shared and the knowledge spreads that we can indeed talk to animals. Listen: Rosalyn Berne, When Horses Whisper.

I am so very grateful for Gracie's presence in my life, the Angel I never suspected. It is a story I have yet to find words for.

Fortunately, Guardian Angels are not limited to working in conventional form. Example: one of the most extraordinary stories in recent news headlines involves the dramatic recovery of a child trapped in a submerged vehicle. Fox News: Officer hears Angel's voice

Several rescuers on the scene reported hearing a voice pleading for help from inside the car. That experience was all the more incredible because the child's mother had been killed at the scene, hours before.  

One of the officers is sharing that story in the book, Proof of Angels. And on Doctor Oz.

The Divine Life of Animals: One Man's Quest to Discover Whether the Souls of Animals Live On Police Officer Tyler Beddoes describes what he saw and heard at the accident scene that day and he wasn't the only one.

Proof of Angels Author Ptolemy Tompkins has also explored the Divine in other forms, notably in his book The Divine Life of Animals.
