The difference between human beings and the other species is our unique self-consciousness. Animals are not self-conscious and do not get emotional. Emotion is the self-conscious expression of instinct. The unique feature of human beings is our self-reflective capability to know that βIβ in each body exist, as well as to reflect on the past. This is sapience or the sense of knowing discernment. Itβs the cosmic element of the human spiritual system that instigates the civilising drive towards the aesthetic ideal in existence. The rest of the species, in the absence of the sense of sapience, are not affected by this aspect of life on earth.
Whereas the human animal has a self-conscious βIβ, the creatures that we love and cherish have an instinctual βIβ with no knowable sense of self. They are the spontaneous expression of life in their unselfconscious innocence. Were it possible to put self-consciousness into a cat or any other life form, it would immediately lose its innocence and be like us β suspicious, fearful and burdened with the fear of loss. Thankfully, the animals are protected from such a burden, but unfortunately not from the overall condition of the world at any time.
Domestic pets, as well as wild animals that come into contact with or are exposed to human beings, pick up the energetic frequency of the progressive drive of humanity. They then appear to act less wild and may exhibit human behavioural traits and apparent emotional reactions to events and their environment. Animals do indeed form close bonds in the wild, but do not become attached emotionally as we do to the forms and objects in the life. An animal will fight with all its strength to protect its territory and offspring, but doesnβt suffer psychologically at the prospect of loss or death.
To every animal except the human animal, there is no distinction between life and death which simply unfolds as an all-encompassing expression of life everlasting. When thereβs an interruption to the continuity of life such as the death of a chick, mate or pack member, a creature may temporarily display signs of grief and distress. However, they soon adjust inwardly to the outer shock of separation and connect once more with their own intrinsic wellbeing. Domestic pets may exert more prolonged periods of unsettled behaviour to their normal routine, waiting for example βfor dead friends to come homeβ due to the absorption of our emotional way of life.
