Simply Wondering

  I want to say, or repeat, here, that I do not understand what happened. Sharon is used to channeling non-physical beings. And she had occasionally done some Tarot readings for me when I was either curious about her gift, or in a stew about something and casting about for answers. But for me to develop a relationship with a ’spirit’ being over a period of time? A being who had formerly been my dog and was now dead and buried in one of my gardens? No, I do not understand it. So I am simply sharing bits and pieces of what happened. Then you can not understand it too, right?

One of my early questions to Fred had to do with his purpose in this life. When I say ‘this’ life, I mean the one he lived from 1985 to 1997. Sometime in 2005, I think it was, he told us he had returned, reincarnated, as a dog again, he was a puppy. He hinted that it took a while to determine if he would come back as a human or a dog:

…I’m an animal. I thought it was much too much work to come back as a human being again… I might do it later, but I can’t handle it right now… I want to play a little more. Yeah.

But I was referring to what his purpose was in the 12 years he lived with my family, and he responded:

I enjoy being a dog. I’ve been a dog many times. This is a special time to be on earth; it is shifting to a higher frequency. I’ve wanted to be here to enjoy that and to help others. Most of my work has been about being laughter and play and light to this family.

Why, I had asked, did he choose this family?

We have known each other infinitely long, and have often been together, dancing. Different parts were played by each: supporting, teaching, etc…. All are special. You must learn to live from the heart. Part of my purpose has been to teach that.. We won’t be separate when I leave, the heart connection is strong. If focused on the heart connection, we’ll be aware of it. If distracted, you’ll think the connection is gone.

It has taken me forever to feel confident that we had that connection, once he had died. I counted on Sharon to tell me what he had to say, to pass along questions for me. But I am slowly taking the time to sit still, get centered, and call him in. And there is a response. Maybe it is a feeling tone, maybe a wisp of an image. Maybe I just start thinking a bit differently. But the response gets stronger the more I practice.
