Anyone who chooses to say unkind things to me, go away, I don't care what you have to say.

I believe this. When I was about 7 we had a cat that died(I was very sad) and the day after he died I seen him laying on the bed(where he always laid) and he meowed, it was scary because I was 7 years old, but I know that was him. Never seen him after that..

Some of us have a belief that is not the concept of heaven. For many of us who are Pagan we believe all animals go to the Summerland crossing the rainbow bridge to the after life. All living things including people are energy, and energy simply does not die it transfers.

Is this a pagan belief regarding energy? It's so odd you say this. I was driving to school one summer morning and you could see the "energy" shimmering over the mountains and I came to the same belief. After all, heat is energy. When people or animals die, they lose heat. I had a professor tell me my thoughts were more Hindu than anything else.

First off, Humans are in the same Kingdom as other animals. Grab a science book. And second off, you don't have to go to church to go to heaven you just have to believe and worship the Christian god. Just because we have thumbs and build buildings does not make us "non animals" we are merely primates by definition.

That definitely offended me. Big time.

I agree. It offended me a whole lot.

Yes I am Pagan and the energy concept is a big part of my way of life which involves elements fire, air, earth, water, and spirit. The body dies and death is a process when the vessel goes into the earth to replenish her. Notice how the body loses heat but in the process of decay heat is generated too. I believe death is another word for change.

Pagan incorporates so many old religions. Are your beliefs from one of those religions? Or beliefs taken from many? I guess I'm asking how you formed your beliefs. Feel free to take this to a PM
