"The second class of those who ward this process are those of the Confederation who have the honor/duty of standing in the small places at the edge of the steps of light/love so that those entities being harvested will not, no matter how confused or unable to make contact with their higher self, stumble and fall away for any reason other than the strength of the light. These Confederation entities catch those who stumble and set them aright so that they may continue into the light."

So my reason for sharing this personal experience with my buddy is two fold. Firstly, I encourage anyone with a special pet friend to give it a try. But more importantly, if my subjective experience has any validity to it, the process of harvest in the metaphysical sense is totally in our own control. He simply looked away, no drama, no distress, he just looked away from the light that I had offered to him.

Quote:14.1 Questioner: Going back over this morning’s work, [inaudible]. You said the second density strives towards the third density which is the density of self-consciousness or self-awareness. The striving takes place through higher second-density forms invested by third-density beings. Could you explain what you mean by this?
Ra: I am Ra. Much as you would put on a vestment, so do your third-density beings invest or clothe some second-density beings with self-awareness. This is often done through the opportunity of what you call pets. It has also been done by various other means of investiture. These include many so-called religious practice complexes which personify and send love to various natural second-density beings in their group form.

Quote:76.13 (snip) ... Second density is more easily estimated and represents your longest density in terms of the span of space/time. We may estimate that time as approximately 4.6 billion years. These approximations are exceedingly rough due to the somewhat uneven development which is characteristic of creations which are built upon the foundation stone of free will.

Quote:14.2 Questioner: When this Earth was second-density, how did the second-density beings on this Earth become so invested?

Ra: There was not this type of investment as spoken but the simple third-density investment which is the line of spiraling light calling distortion upward from density to density. The process takes longer when there is no investment made by incarnate third-density beings.

I'd say he is accepting your offer of light on a daily basis. He also showed it in this instance, which his snuggling and purring.

Also, I don't quite follow what you're saying. You mention investing in higher-2D entities, but what has that to do with 'controlling' their harvest?

Quote:Optic effects

When bright light is shone on the eye, light sensitive cells in the retina, including rod and cone photoreceptors and melanopsin ganglion cells, will send signals to the oculomotor nerve, specifically the parasympathetic part coming from the Edinger-Westphal nucleus, which terminates on the circular iris sphincter muscle. When this muscle contracts, it reduces the size of the pupil. This is the pupillary light reflex, which is an important test ofbrainstem function. Furthermore, the pupil will dilate if a person sees an object of interest.

And how much difference do you honestly think 1 life out of 300,000,000 can make, either way?  

Granted, they're probably not spending all that time as a cat specifically, but the basic point stands.  We are but eyeblinks in the overall length of our pets' 2D existence.   That's both the good AND bad part about having such short incarnations (humans too) when dealing with such huge timespans.  Any given single life rarely makes that much of a difference in the grand scheme.  It's all about slow incremental growth, and lessons learned through reinforcement across many lives.

If you want to feel better about it, consider this:  Like I mentioned, the life of a non-domesticated cat is usually brutish and short.  Plus a lot of them have pretty crappy owners.  If you have a cat (or whatever pet) that you love and treat well, you're giving it a vacation life.  A chance to relax and spend most of its time being happy for a change.  That probably DOES speed its growth somewhat.

However, the chances of any of us personally "uplifting" a pet are pretty darn low, any way you cut it.  Yet it still remains a very nice way of sharing love with other-selves, and contemplating just how hard it must've been for us to get to the level we're at.

(And, of course, the entity currently known as your cat will find its own way back to the Creator, in its own time, as we all do.)
