Haha, I didn't even notice that!
Peace!

So my apologies to you (and Pickle, too!) if the word was taken in a different light. I don't know of another word to use.
But I never called you a zealot. And Pickle called himself a zealot.
Well I guess we're all zealots then!

Yeah, no kidding! My cats don't even know what to do with the birds and mice they kill. They play with them but almost never eat them. So I guess they'd have a very hard time in the wild. And the dogs? Wouldn't have a chance.

My understanding is that once a 2D being begins to develop the spirit portion of the mind/body/spirit complex, ie. begins to develop self-awareness, it's now an entity, and may choose whatever physical vehicle suits its needs, whether that be more lifetimes as a dog or tree, or whatever, until eventually it is ready to incarnate into a 3D vehicle, which, on this planet, is either human or dolphin.
On Sirius, the 3D entities evolved directly from trees. I don't recall Ra indicating what sort of bodies the 3D entities had, or whether there were any animals on that planet, or just vegetation.

That is my understanding. But plants are also 2D. 2D is a very long density. And on Sirius, 2D trees evolved directly to 3D. That happens sometimes here too, but the difference is, apparently, that no animals evolved to 3D, on Sirius, maybe because it didn't have any animals?
