We are doing really good today. Everything has consciousness - birds, fish, trees, as well as animals, and so do we. However, animals are group souls.
Humans are individual souls.
I am still a little bit unclear on what I specially relate to is how a family dog, which only interacts with us. So, I am little unclear on where the rest of his group soul is, I guess. You might have a dog, or you might have a cat, that you have individualized out of a group soul area. However, put them back with dogs and cats for a few months and they will be a dog and a cat, just like any other dog and cat, forgetting all about humans. At the weekly fire ceremony all the devotees offer their prayers in a small basket.
