It is easier to look at things from a Monadic point of view, with the larger animals. Even with the interbreeding there will be a dominant factor. So, say, a cat from a certain Monadic quality will be attracted to be with the Monadic quality of a human. That is why dogs can resemble their owners with those certain qualities.

A Human Being cannot have ‘been’ something else. Remember (M) you experienced ‘being’ the curtains, the carpet, a mouse, an elephant – you ARE all those things in Essence.
Past life memories show you glimpses of things relating to you and your life now. It isn’t You as you are now!
