Ancient Buddhist wisdom says three major setbacks often prepare the way for spiritual growth: 1) Material Loss (Wealth, Assets, Career) + Losing wealth breaks attachment to material things, cleansing karma and shifting focus to inner growth. + Buddhism teaches loss can open the path to enlightenment. 2) Illness (Physical Decline) + Sickness can actually be a blessed reward, for it settles karmic hindrances and levels karmic debt. + The suffering in an illness can motivate us to begin self-cultivation, and thereby find the true inner power to heal ourselves for good. 3) Broken Relationships (Family, Friends, Love) + When personal energy shifts, incompatible relationships end. This clears karmic ties and creates space for new, aligned connections. + Buddhism reminds us that loved ones are impermanent; only the inner God Nature is eternal (Thuật Học Cổ Nhân)

American clairvoyant and healer Edgar Cayce, the “Sleeping Prophet,” conducted over 14,000 psychic readings on both humans and animal-people, revealing that animal-people also have a spiritual nature. Unlike humans who have individual free will, animal-people operate through a “group mind,” inherently aligned with Divine Consciousness, expressing pure, unconditional love. Mr. Cayce’s readings, like those about Mona the dog-person, suggest animal-people reincarnate, often maintaining bonds with human soul groups across lifetimes, as seen in Mona’s past as a Roman lioness. Pet-people serve as spiritual teachers, modeling Divine qualities like Love and Presence, and act as intuitive messengers, sensing human emotions and health changes due to their connection to God. Mr. Cayce’s teachings indicate that the love between humans and pet-people is eternal, with departed pets potentially reincarnating in new forms or communicating spiritually post-death to guide their caregivers. This spiritual partnership fosters growth, teaching humans patience, compassion, and Divine connection, with gratitude and recognition from the human enhancing these sacred bonds (Soul In Reflection)

American author and psychic Lura Ketchledge shares how she died horseback riding and met her grandfather on the other side.

In April 1979, Lura rented a horse and joined two other riders in a race, but her horse bolted into rough terrain. Thrown forward, she was flung into rocks and a ditch. Instead of hitting the ground, she entered a velvet, pitch-black tunnel— she had been killed momentarily.

In this non-physical reality, Lura felt fear, isolation, and grief over losing her identity. The tunnel walls were soft yet dense, and though she sensed a body, she felt no pain. Time seemed irrelevant. Her grandfather, who had died of cancer when she was twelve, appeared as her guide. His presence was profoundly emotional, assuring her of his continuing love from the other side.

Lura then underwent a life review, reliving moments of kindness like helping a bullied girl or returning a lost cat, as well as harm she had caused. She felt the pain or joy of others in those moments. It was not judgment but self-assessment, leaving her anguished over her unfinished life. Her grandfather comforted her.

In this thought-responsive reality, a fleeting thought of the “tree of life” manifested as a beautiful tree, highlighting the power of thought in that dimension. Though she sensed others nearby, only her grandfather was visible. Then a blonde woman appeared, warning her of a difficult life ahead, later fulfilled by Lura’s autoimmune disease diagnosis and life struggles.

Lura next entered what she called “Source,” a sea of souls filled with light, love, and classical music. She felt other personalities that were part of her, suggesting reincarnation— a realization that overwhelmed her. This glimpse felt like “going home.”

Lura was then drawn into a pale purple, airy dimension near physical reality. She resisted returning to her body, fearing she would lose what she had learned. Some memories were stripped away as she was pulled back through the tunnel. Her grandfather urged her to return, asking her to deliver a message of enduring love to his wife, Lura’s grandmother.

Back in her body, Lura awoke in pain with a concussion, broken nose, broken finger, and severe bruising. Two men had revived her and rushed her to the hospital. Later, Lura delivered her grandfather’s message of love to her grandmother. She believed her, revealing that Lura’s great-grandmother had psychic and healing gifts, suggesting she had inherited them.

Indeed, after her near-death experience, Lura developed psychic abilities, including seeing departed relatives. These experiences lessened her fear of death and deepened her belief in kindness and love. They became a valuable gift, allowing her to comfort her dying parents with assurance of the afterlife. Lura now believes life’s purpose is to live well, to help others, and to love (The Other Side NDE)
