WHERE SPIRITUALITY IS LORD IS TRUE HEALING ~a blog for contemplation
“He taught me also, and said unto me, Let thine heart retain my words: keep my commandments, and live. Get wisdom, get understanding: forget it not; neither decline from the words of my mouth. Forsake her not, and she shall preserve thee: love her, and she shall keep thee. Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding. Exalt her, and she shall promote thee: she shall bring thee to honor, when thou dost embrace her. She shall give to thine head an ornament of grace: a crown of glory shall she deliver to thee.”
Proverbs 4:4-9 KJAE
Cats, like writers, are willful creatures, who don’t like to be controlled.
Most authors are creative introverts and cats fit beautifully into an introvert’s world. As the American author, Andre Norton said, ‘Perhaps it is because cats do not live by human patterns, do not fit themselves into prescribed behavior, that they are so united to creative people.’
HEAL IN COURAGE, DIGNITY AND SENSITIVITY
The power of the spoken or written word is more powerful than the shattering of an atom and as penetrating to the human mind.
Sir Oliver Lodge
SENTIMENTAL STORIES LAST FOREVER
Spiritual experiences do change the way in which you portray yourself. You need self-reflection and meditation to stay at peace. You need to connect with your beliefs and feel the angels around you. Just be willing to let go of all negativity and evil.
If you have resentment you want to be free of, if you will pray for the person or the thing you resent, you will be free. If you ask in prayer for everything you want for yourself to be given to them, you will be free. Ask for the willingness to their health, their prosperity, their happiness, and you will be free.
Do it every day for two weeks, and you will find you have come to mean it and you want it for them, and you will realize that where you used to feel bitterness and resentment and hatred you now feel compassionate understanding and love.

AWAKEN TO A REALIZED SECOND BEGINNING
Nothing is more creative than death, since it has the whole secret of life. It means that the past must be abandoned, that the unknown cannot be avoided, that “I” cannot continue, and that nothing can be ultimately fixed. When man knows this, he lives for the first time in his life. By holding his breath, he loses it. By letting go, he finds it.
Alan Watts
Experience a New Dimension in Healing, Spiritual Awareness and Understanding
In the mind we create our world. Our reality can change by changing our mind. Trust yourself. Create the kind of self that you will be happy to live with all your life. You can design your life for someone you can be happy about.
When the inevitable departure of a loved one comes, the shock can be overwhelming. Sometimes we need an ear that can hear. Many times we just need to make sense of the chaos.
Honored Cat Bereavement Services can help soften the blow or ease the pain through peer support, listening and compassionately assisting the grieving process utilizing a twelve step model.
Some find through sharing their loss in zoom counseling or portrait writing can significantly help in focus and alignment for healing.
A bibliography lives on in your memories as well as ours. Imagine the amusement your cat brought to all of you.
Epilogue writings create a new perception and therefore a new experience. The truth well told gives us new meaning to realized beginnings.
What if we could create an environment where our common stories of grief, pain and loss could be transformed in writing?
What is your story?
I would like to share mine in hopes to develop an ecosystem of unity. There is a commonality we all have, or will face, in the departure to the “other side”of our dear companion(s).
If we can create the bridge between veterinarians and veterans who both face the challenges of stress, grief and trauma, perhaps we could utilize the majesty of the cat spirit to lift us up and walk courageously across the bridge to the other side of happiness, joy and fulfillment in spite of everything.
Let’s transform the experience as an opportunity for spiritual growth in understanding ourselves better.
Rites Of Passage To Higher Dimensional Understanding
See death as a life phenomenon in its suchness. We fall apart-renew. Appreciate the suchness and respect it.
All of life is unexpected suddenness —surprise.
Life is made up of beginnings and endings; or is it endings and beginnings? What would it be like to go to sleep and never wake up? Or, wake up and never fall back asleep?
The ebb and flow of living brings many new things to us just as the old recedes. The precise moment of ending—even with its sadness and loss is the precipice of beginning with its freshness and joy. Sometimes it’s just a matter of viewpoint whether we catch the difference and get on with the adventure and experience, or stay stuck with what has already happened.
THE HONOR OF ONE IS THE HONOR OF ALL
Inspire others to rediscover the child you left behind while working; so then you get to be something and regain the potential you lost.

A cat has an interdependent spirit. Those who claim it are responsible, nurturing, punctual and use the tools of measure and balance.

Bad chapters can still create great stories. Wrong paths can still lead to right places. Failed dreams can still create successful people. Sometimes it takes losing yourself or a dear one to find yourself.
Trust in Divine TRUTH
To end anger, there is nothing better than poetry; to set aside worry, there is nothing better than music.

Good things to know when times get hard
Transition periods have their challenges and this one will not be much different. The good thing about challenges is that they are not meant to destroy you.
They are meant to make you stronger, wiser and more mature. This is just what your angels want of you for the next phase of your development.
To let ourselves wholly grieve our losses is how we surrender to the process of life and recovery. Genuine Recovery Art can help you FIND YOURSELF AGAIN.
Some experts, like Patrick Carnes, call the Twelve Steps “a program for dealing with our losses, a program for dealing with our grief.”
How do we grieve?
Awkwardly? Imperfectly? Alone? Usually with a great deal of resistance. Often with anger and attempts to negotiate. Ultimately, by surrendering to the pain.
Let’s explore and discover another alternative. All answers are met within our sphere of influence, which is our interpretation of the event – experience.
“If we are painstaking about this phase of our development, we will be amazed before we are half way through.
We are going to know a new freedom and a new happiness. We will not regret the past nor wish to shut the door on it. We will comprehend the word serenity and we will know peace.
No matter how far down the scale we have gone, we will see how our experience can benefit others. That feeling of uselessness and self-pity will disappear.
We will lose interest in selfish things and gain interest in our fellows. Self-seeking will slip away.
Our whole attitude and outlook upon life will change.
Fear of people and of economic insecurity will leave us.
We will intuitively know how to handle situations which used to baffle us.
We will suddenly realize that God is doing for us what we could not do for ourselves.” —AA Promises
If you can laugh as much as you cry, you can make it through life.

Honored Cat Bereavement is a branch of Genuine Recovery Art; capturing, retrieving and restoring the classics in truth, wisdom and applied knowledge for spiritual awareness and growth.
My name is Martin, a Personal Development Advisor, an Intuitive Support Writer, Certified Peer Wellness Specialist and Professional Member of the Association of Pet Loss Bereavement Organization.
I specialize in domestic cats and been privileged in loving, caring and transitioning 12 cats to the other side in my lifetime.
From personal experience, I can honestly share with high emotional intelligence and humility what has worked in gracefully healing soberly.
Sobriety is not only abstaining from drinking alcohol or taking intoxicating drugs: refraining from the use of addictive substances or dependence. It is soundness of mind (sanity) which means to be intelligent, understanding and considerate to ones self and others.
The magnitude of grief due to pet loss is relentlessly challenging. A true test of suffering.
Through Art and Writing, our process can help you with awareness, focus and concentration.
This inevitable natural phase of life must be carefully embraced, experienced, honored and accepted.
Our pets are family.
Honored Cat epilogues intuitively capture the imagination and preserve rich inspired memories from feline death for Memorial Bereavement.
Honoring the interdependent spirit of your loved companion is integral in the process of healing from loss.
Grief is personal for each person.
Life implies death, and death implies life.
Let me help during this spiritual process of healing, personal discovery and transformation with Hope, Dignity, and Encouragement.
Honor yourself, the family and the majestic cat spirit in you.
