Is it possible that my past life was an animal?

remnantique, you were most likely an animal at one time in the distant past, but you will probably never be one again, but everything "is" possible....It is always going forward tho and never backwards in our spiritual evolution........we are spiritual beings temporarily in a physical body and reincarnating is always a "choice" and not a mandate, from my understanding.....but most souls seem to "want" to reincarnate to finish thier lessons and/or to experience what they did not yet experience........

time is always in the NOW on the spiritual realms--past, present & future at the same time, but here in the mortal world, time is linear and thus we view other lives as past lives...... love and light

Oh ok I didn't know that it was a choice, that's very VERY good to know thank you! Also I don't know if I was an animal or not, it just came into my head as an idea lol not that I actually feel I was one. But I understand what you mean.

Those of the Animal Kingdom have souls and are animated by the Spirit of God just as we are. They are also evolving through their own evolutionary path.
My understanding is that it is possible for an animal to reach a stage of consciousness such that it, or rather it's soul, can incarnate in human guise.
I imagine this would be accomplished through the animal having positive close contact with humans.
This is not the norm for animals though.

Will 'you' be a dog or a cat next time around? No, you will be human.

May I ask why. IMO that seem rather limited considering that the cosmos has no limits build into its fabric. All limits are created by ourself through the collective consciousness.

Because all life is progressive.

Yes and all life is equal.

Yes and all life is equal.

All life is one, yes. A profound spiritual truth I am always trying to convey! The unity of all life in the great 'universal family' of God.

But as a human is not, in terms of soul evolution, as advanced as an angel, so, in terms of soul evolution, an animal is not as advanced as a human.
But both are 'ascending' the evolutionary ladder.

I always have a hard time imagine who this one mighty god is. I know that there exist a lot of beings who have been worshipped as gods and goddesses but that does not make them so. I do have realized that we are all one through the collective conscioussness that is the very thing that shapes the fabric of the cosmos. So you could argue that we are all creators and therefore all this supreme creator god. But what knowledge do you have that tells you that angels are more advanced than humans.

So in theory would the ultimate end of evolution be a god? Can we become gods?

The truth is that we are all equal, so if you will describe us all as gods or none of us as so is up to you. The only different in us all is that some are more unlocked.
