What Is the Essence of Mind?

[Ali Quadir]

just as we're not less than 4D beings. we're them in the past. animals have a mind, it's just at a different stage.

I would say "at a different alchemy"... Most animals around us are older than the human species. They had the time we had to evolve and longer. So their minds are as evolved as ours. But different... To answer a different question. But anyone who has animals will be able to tell about the complexity of animal emotions and thought.

They may not be able to engage in the symbolic thought humans do. But that's a feature in the mind that we evolved, equating it to being advanced is similar to saying that a car is more advanced than a cheetah because it goes faster.

An animal will not likely reach our stage of evolution. They may... But the cerebellum explosion in humans is quite unique. And not a requirement for conscious life.
