Spiritual Revelation - Past Memories
One day, I was inspired to paint and write a page on spiritual pets. Although I was not a pet owner, I found it easy to gather information about pets from other sources.
During the gathering of information, I discovered the powerful link between people and their pets- something I never thought about before.
After collecting all the information that I needed, I sat down and wrote a page. The task was enjoyable and informative. Next, it was time to paint.
I was near the middle of my painting project when something intriguing began to take place. I began to recover memories, which were excluded from my conscious mind. The memories were about my childhood dog- Bobbi, the dog I had unconsciously erased from my mind.
How could I have forgotten Bobbi? He was an important part of my childhood. He was my friend, playmate and protector.
Bobbi was the family pet for many years. When I was approximately eight years old, our family moved to a housing development that did not allow dogs. Having no other alternative, Bobbi was taken to the ASPCA-animal shelter. I remember crying, in an uncontrollable manner, for days. We never had another dog after Bobbi.
My brother, who was attached to Bobbi, has had several dogs in his adult life. I have had none. I have never had the desire to purchase a dog. Now, I know why.
The painful experience of losing Bobbi made me block his existence. On an unconscious level, I decided never to attach myself to another dog, avoiding the pain of loss and/or separation.
The painting project helped me to recapture the past memory, and heal a wound that was undeniably not healed. Now, I think of Bobbi often without feeling sad. I think about the joy he gave me and the wonderful times we once had. I am so grateful for recovering great memories. Bobbi, wherever you are, thanks for being a friend, playmate, and protector. Forgive me for forgetting you for so long. I love you.
