Karma and Reincarnation in the 

Animal Kingdom

The Spiritual Origin of Species

By (Author) David Barreto

Foreword by Robert Sardello

   Where do the spirits of animals go after they die? What are their chakras and auras like? Why were animals worshipped in ancient religions? Exploring these questions, David Barreto presents a profound investigation into the spiritual evolution in the animal kingdom, from ants and cockroaches to cats, dogs, pigeons, and whales. 

The author examines the spiritual anatomy of animals, including their chakras, auras, and the mental, astral, and buddhic bodies of various species. Barreto also explores how, and if, animals accumulate karma, detailing the mechanisms of reincarnation among various groups, even elucidating on the evolution between minerals and plants. 

David also addresses the paranormal nature of some animals, explaining not symbolically, but spiritually, how these abilities occur. Furthermore, David analyzes the mysticism behind totems, archetypes, alchemical associations, and reveals the etheric correlations between animal spirits and elementals. By exposing esoteric schools, as well as ancient religious traditions from around the world, the author explores how animals were viewed and how the worship of animals related to gods emerged in ancient Egypt, India, and China.

At a crucial point in the book, the author also addresses the spiritual and energetic repercussions of meat consumption and details the extraphysical reality of slaughterhouses. The book also highlights what happens to the spirits of animals when they are sacrificed in religious or lower magic rituals.

In the final chapter, David provides a detailed study of the astrological ages over the past 10,000 years and offers insights into the role of the animal kingdom in the future Age of Aquarius, revealing how animals were treated in each of the past ages and how they will be treated in the era to come.
