What happens to animals when they die?

[steppewar]

If they are conciousness in animal form something must, but what?

1) Reincarnation as an animal, or human or insect, etc.

2) Does the above incarnation depend on other creatures they killed in their former life?

3) They can see past the illusion and escape from it into another dimension.

4) Nothing, they are not concious.

5) Something else I have not considered.

[snoopsnuffleopagus]

yes

[empyblessing]

I am absolutely certain of my answer. I don't know. :)

[goldenratio]

probably the same thing that happens to us, whatever that is?

Number 5:
Their offspring live on and reproduce the next generation, and soforth.

[element]

They're life, so there's soul.

Number1.

[starchildtesla]

there is infinite souls out there so one just leads to another just like a thought leads to another

[pepsirat]

Well i have been visited by some of my dead pets. And when i held my pet rat pepsi in my arms as she died im sure i saw a smok like thing leave her.

Just have to look in to the eyes of animals to see their soul, but i dont know were they go.

[harris999]

They have souls, thier alive. If it can die, then it has a soul. What happens to it im not so sure :P

5. They end up as part of the food chain.

As to whether they have souls, dunno, got about as much chance as humans do.

1) Reincarnation as an animal, or human or insect, etc.

The soul will reincarnate up through the animal species until it gets a human body.
It will then be subject to the laws of Karma where it can be degraded to lower species or elevetated to higher planets according to it's activities.
The ultimate aim is self-realization which enables the soul to escape from the cycle of birth and death and return to our original, eternal spiritual home.

Ive heard stories of people being reincarnated as a plant whos to say plants arent the next stage from being a human? Not sure bout that one tbh but still, What about loving alien inscetcoid's? lol Or is that maybe according to how you act, or loving alien entities of all shapes and sizes and similiar to lots of animal species here. Like do animals have their old animal traits when they become human then move on to more advanced humanoid animalistic forms? Is that what you think pilgrim? Interesting post pilgrim, I used to wonder if inscets had a soul now im pretty surte of it as with plants. always beleived in animals having souls though.

I think that a human-bodied soul who reincarnates as a plant must have totally wasted the spiritual opportunity of the human form of life and accumulated very bad karma. It will have to "evolve" up through the species again. (Akin to being sent back to kindergarden after flunking university).

All living things are spirit-souls. The soul is the source of life and consciousness.

Karma is very real, but not for me. One can be free of karma simply by stating the intent to be. Karma is real but not universal. It is a trap of this world in order to garner guilt, fear, and shame. If you want karma, then you can have it.

Look at the animals. The lion bathes in the sun, relaxing all day free of fear of predators. Then when he hungers he viciously tears apart a baby gazelle. Afterwards, he's done and takes a nap feeling very contended free of any silly human karma. There is little distinction between man and animals if one doesn't peer into the dust strewn pages of some book written millennia ago. The lion is here to be a lion. The lion is to know the experience of the lion. He does this well.

One need look no further then our politicians to see that karma is subjective. Where is Dick Cheney's karma? He is responsible for killing millions of people. By the standard of karma he should have been killed or tortured to account for what he's done. Henry Kissenger, David Rockefeller, are old, healthy men after years and years of abuse and murder. They've obviously freed themselves of this concept, leaving it for the masses to suffer with, knowing it's only a control mechanism.

Not necessarily, not sure about that humans becoming plants is a step down, I mean psychedelic technoligies like dmt that takes you to meet aliens good or bad, depends inscectoids and all, and plants that heal you like ayahuasca/cappi/mushrooms/mesacline and other beneficial herbs that know whats good for the human spirit/body, whos to say the plant spirits are less intelligant than us? It might look like were running things but at other levels whos to say?
