Guest guest Posted October 9, 2007 Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 I have always prayed for the dead in the newspaper and don't laugh...but also for any dead animals on the road. Does this help them at all....especially if it has been days after? What about the animals? I just feel that the animals have no one to pray for them. I don't usually share that with people so you should all feel special and close to me...do you feel special yet?!?! Love to you all!

Guest guest Posted October 9, 2007 Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 OMG, Scott!! I'm so glad you said that about praying for dead animals in the road!! I do that, too!! I do believe that animals go to an afterlife, too, and I always imagine the poor dead creature now being in a beautiful field running free playing with other animal spirits. Thanks for sharing that, I feel special and close with you, LOL!!

Guest guest Posted October 9, 2007 Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 Hi all.... I just wanted to add my point about this topic....in the hindhu belief praying for the dead is considered very very important....when any person dies....many rituals are performed for 10 days after the death with lots of prayers and many rituals that would help the soul in the other world journery.......also it is belived that lots and lots of " Dhana " ....(giving donations)....is done in the name of the dead.....it is belived that what prayers and donations are given here by us reaches the dead in the other world as food for them.....so if we dont do anything for them...they shall not have food in the other world....... the dead are called as the " Pitru's " .....who first reach the pitru loka...

Guest guest Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 I also pray for animals, living and dead. I don't think it hurts them and it might help. , Scott Regel <scott.regel wrote: > > I have always prayed for the dead in the newspaper and don't laugh...but also for any dead animals on the road.

Guest guest Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 Hi Claudia, I am glad I am not alone in this! I really like your thoughts on running free and playing with other animal spirits! I believe in reincarnation and that if you were a dog in the one life you might become a human in the next. So I always hope that my prayer will help them get to a better life. I always ask for God to save their souls and lift them up to a better life next time. Even if my prayers don't help it makes me feel better!! Love to you! Thanks for sharing!! Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 Scott, I read about animal spirits in the afterlife in one of the books I've read on life after death over the years, don't remember which one. It talked about how all animal spirits survive physical death, just as we do, and live together in harmony in this beautiful place that human spirits can visit, too. It's a lovely thought and I sure hope it turns out to be true. Bradly, glad you're praying for the unfortunates by the side of the road, too!

Guest guest Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 Dear Scott, Thats so sweet, I think it's just lovely that you prey for the dead animals, every prayer is heard and felt, sending loving intention outwards is a beautiful and nessecary thing for all beings to do. What a lovely idea, I will remember that one. I always bless mosquito's when I kill them, I wish that their tiny souls go to the higher realms.... I always felt like it was a positive thing to do. Every little helps. Lots of love and yes and I am feeling special knowing you!!!

Guest guest Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 Now you make me feel special Elektra!! It's funny you brought up the skeeters (mosquitos). I have been very good about not killing anything since joining this group. But I feel skeeters have no value and one attack deserves another with them. So I killed one yesterday and felt bad about it and wondered it it could ever do anything good in it's short life to go to a higher realm. It's nice you care about the skeeters too! Love!

Guest guest Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 Thanks so much for sharing this! It is always good to hear what others do. I believe that the dead can still see us and watch us and that the greatest blessing to them is to let them know they are thought of and loved! Love!

Guest guest Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 So you don't think animal spirits and human spirits are made up of the same " fabric " ?
