The long road to enlightenment
When I was 10, I pondered the question of what happens when you die. During that time, I had been joining in with friends at evening Christian Fellowship gatherings, and encouraged by my parents to go to Sunday school. And while I enjoyed my friend's company and the fellowship outings, camps and trips, the question of what life after death actually meant bothered me.
On the one hand, I couldn't really believe in the "you die then you go to heaven in everlasting peace" as preached in the Bible. Nor could I fathom the futility of one random chance at existing as a living being, reaching the end of my natural life span, then "nothing"... not even darkness... just NOTHING. Deep within my being it just felt so very wrong.
Coincidentally, I found a book on Near Death Experiences on our book shelf - it was Mum's. After reading that voraciously, I found I had even more questions. I also found that my Mum and a family friend both believed in Spirituality... the continuation of the soul after death, and reincarnating into a new body. Obviously Spirituality is more multi-faceted than this, but it rung true within me. We, us human beings, are merely vessels for our souls, and death is merely the end of a cycle.
In the following 14 years I learnt a lot and grew a lot - spiritually speaking. Then life took over, and the spiritual aspect of my life was sadly neglected.
However, in March 2010, after seeing Sue Nicholson live, both mine and my wife's interest in our own Spirituality has been rekindled, like someone had flicked the switch and turned the inner light back on!

I dreamed a dream!
Since then, one thing has seemingly led to another, and then another, and yet another. And I find myself here.
My wife found out about Lisa Williams doing radio shows on Hay House radio, and so we subscribed and downloaded one particular archived show where Lisa Williams was talking with a Finnish woman called Maiccu Cessi about communicating with animals.

Something clicked and created a huge spark within my being. And finally I knew... THIS is what I want to do! THIS is my purpose! I scoured the internet for anything and everything about Animal Communication, and found a book by Marta Williams: Learning Their Language, and immediately ordered it.
And in early April 2010 I had a very meaningful and spiritual dream, which revealed two things to me. The path I am to follow is now clear, and that our lovely cat, Sheba, is in fact one of my Guardian Angels incarnate! She has always been a special cat to me - we share an especially close bond unlike any I have experienced before with an animal. It is my hope that she will guide, teach and protect me on this path we are both travelling!
Sheba - My Living Guardian Angel
