Theme: Animals in Evolution
The three neighbors: Sol, Tofi and Tupi
Can the animals be said to act only
from instinct?
"That, again, is a mere theory. It is very true that
instinct predominates in the greater number of animals;
but do you not see some of them act with a determinate
will ? This is intelligence; but of narrow range."
The Spirits' Book, question 593.
You need to know Sol, Tofi and Tupi!
They are neighbors. Let me explain better: Sol is a very
smart little black dog; Tofi is her neighbor, a nice
spotted dog who lives with Tupi, an adorable little
white dog. All are classified as mixed breed, the
so-called mutts, formed by mixing several races.
The three live on the same street, a
few meters apart, and have a beautiful friendship. All
the residents know that the dogs are friends and happily
comment on the affection that unites the three animals.
Sol lives a few houses away from Tofi
and Tupi, but whenever her owner allows her to play
outside, the first thing she does is run to her two
friends' house, barking at the gate, to call them to
play.
The two come running to greet their
friend, barking so they can go out and play. Sol uses
her free will, which all animals have, choosing the
company of friends, as she can do whatever she wants
during the time she is free on the street. She, however,
always chooses the company of friends.
The owners of Tofi and Tupi have
already understood about the bonds of affection that
unite the three and allow them to play together in the
afternoon. The street is brighter with their joy, and
it's wonderful to watch the three dogs running, having
fun together, as you can see that they adore each other.
But when night falls, it is necessary
to return home. Sol always tries to sleep at her
friends' house, to be able to prolong the games, but her
owner doesn't allow it, because she loves the puppy and
knows she needs to rest.
She knows that animals also get
tired, feel pain and, although they don't have
continuous thinking like human beings, they think and
have intelligence, understand what happens around them.
Animals are a spiritual principle, they have a
perispirit and reincarnate, as they are endowed with an
immortal individuality, which evolves towards
perfection.
Sol is an example of the
individuality of the intelligent principle that animals
are, and that are in different evolutionary stages: she
is adorable, friend of all the animals on the street.
Sol also interacts in a friendly way with other animals
and people, and usually comes to greet Chiquito with
“affectionate kisses”. Francisco, as Sol's friend is
also known, is a white poodle who lives close to his
house, but due to his physical fragility cannot go out
to play in the street, but is very happy when, through
the fence, he receives the affection from his friend.
But why do animals suffer? They face
physical sufferings not to atone for their mistakes, but
as proof, to activate their progress, through the
awakening of sensations and feelings. Like us, they are
created by God, they are our companions on the journey,
they deserve to be respected and loved by all.
The owners of Sol, Tofi and Tupi know
that animals think, have a will of their own and their
company is a gift from God to human beings. Through
coexistence with pets, God allows people and animals to
accelerate evolution, and for this reason, they thank
the Greater Father for the friendship, affection and
respect that unite the three neighbors, serving as an
example for all living beings.
