[QUOTE="Archived_member15, post: 166514, member: 17438"] In terms of brother Harry Haller ji and Confused ji's fascinating and absolutely riveting discussion about animals, consonance etc. I thought I might throw in this quote the Bible, to add a different religious perspective into the mix: [SIZE=3]"...I said in my heart with regard to human beings that God is testing them to show that they are but animals. For the fate of humans and the fate of animals is the same; as one dies, so dies the other. They all have the same breath, and [B]humans have no advantage over the animals[/B]; for all is impermanent, like breath. All go to one place; all are from the dust, and all turn to dust again. Who knows whether the human spirit goes upward and the spirit of animals goes downward to the earth? So I saw that there is nothing better than that all should enjoy their work, for that is their lot; who can bring them to see what will be after them?...As they [human beings] came from their mother's womb, so they shall go again, naked as they came...This is what I have seen to be good: it is fitting to eat and drink and find enjoyment in all the toil with which one toils under the sun the few days of the life God gives us; for this is our lot..." [/SIZE] [SIZE=3]- [B]Book of Ecclesiastes, Holy Bible[/B][/SIZE] kaurhug And here is a quote from a Catholic priest's sermon on this passage from the Bible, addressed to animals (not humans) on the Feastday of Saint Francis patron saint of animals as part of a blessing of animals service: [I]"...We come to bless you (animals) today because you too are beloved creatures of God. The Scriptures we have read this afternoon remind us of that, though I daresay we too often fail to notice how God indeed cares for you. As the Psalmist says, you all are an expression of God’s wisdom. Each cat, each dog, each sheep each iguana — each of YOU here has been created by our loving heavenly God, and each of you, whether you are a rabbit, or a sheep or a horse, you reveal something of our Creator in all your being.[/I] [I]Second, I want to speak about what you all have in common with each other, and have in common with us human animals. The writer of Ecclesiastes draws of number of parallels between your lives and those of your human masters and companions. Like human animals, God has created you out of the dust, and to dust you will return. The writer of Ecclesiastes seems to think that if human animals can hope for an afterlife so can you. However, perhaps the most important thing that you share with human animals is that you have been created to glorify God in your very being. If you are a cat, you glorify God by your cat-ness, being what God has created you as a cat to be. If you are a dog, you glorify God in your living as a dog.

Your lives have their worth in God’s love and concern and purposes for you...Fellow creatures, God uses you to reveal God’s very self to us humans[/I]....[I]"[/I] [B]- Fr John Berkman, 2001[/B] Of course the above quote is from the viewpoint of a person who does not believe in reincarnation but rather one life for all living beings.
