Spiritual Revelation - The Recovery Of Past Memories
Spiritual Revelation
One day, I had a dream in which I was directed to paint and write about spiritual animals- see Spiritual Pets -A Gift From God. Although I was not a pet owner, I found it fairly 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 of the information that I needed, I sat down and wrote a page. The task was enjoyable and informative. Next, it was time to paint.
It was near the middle of my painting project that something intriguing began to take place. I began to recover memories from my childhood that were excluded from my conscious mind. The memories were about my childhood dog. Yes...I had a dog. I had entirely forgotten about my dog, Bobbi.
How could I have forgotten about him. 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 also 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 had made me block his existence. On an unconscious level, I decided never to attach myself to another dog. Therefore, avoiding the pain of loss and/or separation.
It was through this painting project that I was able to recapture past memories, and heal a wound that was created so long ago.
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 to have recovered such wonderful memories.
Bobbi, wherever you are, thank you for being a friend, playmate, and protector. Forgive me for forgetting about you for so long. I love you.
