was devastated by the experience. But at the same
time it revealed to me why my wife’s face has always had a hypnotic effect upon me and why I am
so involved in rescuing animals.
Ultimately it taught me about having faith in the
true Lord and like Abraham, Jesus, Moses, Noah
and others to understand that what our Lord asks
of us is for the greater good and that if I had said
yes I would have not been asked to kill anyone.
Most recently one of our cats disappeared when
a door was left open. After several weeks with no
sign of her I was sure she was killed by a predator.
A friend I had made, Amelia Kinkade, is an animal
intuitive who lives in Los Angeles. We live in Connecticut and Amelia has never been to our home
or near it. I pestered her to tell me where the cat
was and one day I received an email, without even
sending Amelia a picture of the cat, and it detailed
the house, yard, other animals and people who
were involved in the cat’s life. The next day I went
out and found the cat exactly where Amelia said it
was hiding.
She told me in the email, “The cat is alive because
I can see through its eyes.”
If that doesn’t make me a believer nothing will. I
totally believe that consciousness is non-local and
not limited to the body. I also have experienced
this through the drawings and dreams of patients
I have cared for which allows them to know their
diagnosis and what the future holds for them. As
I believe it is this
unconscious awareness,
which we each bring with us
when we are born. So I do
not believe we literally live
many lives but that we bring
with us the experience of
previous lives.

Jung said, “The future is unconsciously prepared
long in advance and therefore can be guessed by
clairvoyants.”
I believe it is this unconscious awareness, which
we each bring with us when we are born. So I do
not believe we literally live many lives but that we
bring with us the experience of previous lives. Thus
the wiser we get the better the future will be for
those who follow us.
