September 21, 2025. DREAM. In my bedroom at the Davie, Florida headquarters, Cheyenne was there. She climbed into the bed after I’d gotten up.
In another dream snippet, I was in my office at the Tennessee headquarters, sitting at my desk working. Shasta was lying on her doggy bed a few feet away, watching me intently.
In a final dream segment, I was at my family home in Lufkin, Texas. Jonathan and others of the family also were there. Tremendous rains poured down and there was great flooding. The house and all of us were washed downstream in the flood, but everyone remained safe. I wondered what had become of Shasta.
Interpretation: More inner plane connections with my two former dogs. They are keeping track of me, as symbolized by the vibrational lines of force linking us interdimensionally. The flooding at my family home is symbolic of the cleansing of my emotions as I continue to adjust to Shasta’s transition.
October 6, 2025. DREAM. It had rained heavily and our driveway was muddy. Starting down near our bridge, I crawled up the driveway on all fours. Although the going was difficult, I made it through the mud to the level pad near Trinity House, and finally stood up.
Suddenly, from behind me, Shasta playfully grabbed my right hand in her mouth, apparently to get my attention to her presence. Delighted to see her, I knelt down and greeted her, petting her lovingly as I repeatedly called out her name: “Shasta! BooBoo!” (The latter was one of my affectionate nicknames for her.) It was so wonderful to see her again!
Shasta appeared smaller, as if she were younger, perhaps a puppy less than a year old. Also, I noticed that some of her features were not distinctly materialized. I awoke.
Interpretation: The rain and the mud, as in past dreams, represent the emotional cleansing and release I have gone through since Shasta’s passing. It has been a struggle at times, but I have “slogged” through it. Shasta, in her playful nature, makes contact from the other side of the veil. Her youthful appearance indicates that she has been “reborn” in the Spirit, adjusting to (materializing) and growing in her new life on the astral planes. Our interdimensional reunion is an unexpected, delightful exchange.
October 13, 2025. DREAM. Shasta had come with me to visit relatives for a few days. My mom and dad also were there. While preparing to go home again, I grabbed Shasta’s food bowl and began washing it at a nearby spigot. Shasta, who had been out playing, came bounding up to me, bright-eyed and curious, to see what I was doing. She was young, happy and healthy, full of energy. I noticed that she was growing a new coat of fur.
Interpretation: As with my dream of October 6th, Shasta has been “reborn” in the Spirit. She is happy and well adjusted on the other side of the veil. She exhibits a youthful, playful energy. Growing a new coat of fur represents an ongoing adjustment to her new astral existence.
She remains connected with me through our soul threads. She accompanies me to visit “relatives,” who represent astral groups I am connected with akashically. That includes my mom and dad, who both made the transition years ago.
These recent dream contacts with Shasta are healthy and normal astral connections with my beloved animal companion. They symbolize progress also in my own soul-emotional healing since her transition in mid-August. I give thanks to Spirit that Shasta is happily adjusting to her new life beyond the veil. I feel blessed by these inner plane reunions whenever Spirit deems them proper for our mutual evolution, man and animal together as creations of the Divine.

accompanied me. Also, while I talked with the shopkeeper, my former dog Cheyenne appeared. The shopkeeper went back inside to check his stock, but I remained outside. Happily, I petted and interacted lovingly with both my dogs. (In the dream, I had no awareness that Shasta recently had made the transition, yet I knew that Cheyenne had been my former dog.) Two other large dogs, apparently the shopkeeper’s, also came on the scene.
downstairs apartment. Periodically he or she would go stand in front of the door, expecting to be let in, then would walk around to the side and lie down by the stairs, under the balcony. The dog did this maneuver two or three times as I continued to walk toward the house.
August 15, 2025. This afternoon just after two o’clock, my beloved dog Shasta was put to sleep, after bouts of illness over the past month. A Black Lab/Great Dane mix, she was eleven years old (she would have turned twelve on October 30th). She rebounded well initially in July, but recently fell ill again and stopped eating finally. Last April at her annual exam she weighed a normal 91 pounds. This week she was down to 75, skin and bones, and was losing also her mobility with her back legs.
A friend mentioned that Shasta was a “joyful spiritual companion amidst the sorrows.” How true! This morning, while lying awake in bed before dawn, I was thinking how much Shasta was my “therapy dog” or “support animal,” one could say, helping me with her unconditional love to maintain balance amid all the stresses and vicissitudes of life. She was a daily comfort to me. Our bond of love is eternal.
I continued periodically to turn around my grief by sending Shasta waves of love and light, showering her with blessings. I am so grateful to God for the years Shasta and I enjoyed on this plane. Our eternal bond of love now will be expressed interdimensionally. I trust in Spirit that all is well and is moving forward in the right order.

The third state of evolutionary growth of man with man, of society with society, of nation with nation has yet to come. The signs and marks of the age are prevalent in this department as well as in all other departments too. But they have not reached that perfected level as yet. They have not reached the point where man can take the gauge of which I now speak and say to himself most honestly: we are only, in some cases, at the second stage of evolution, and finally must come to the third stage of complete cooperation and coordination. . . .
in contact as you try to transmute them from second stage evolvement to third stage evolvement. Obviously, it is that type of thinking which is willing to come to a truce and to live in a sense of harmony with all others who are differing from them in color, in nationality, in race, in religion and in basic governmental precepts.
The Fifth Ray, which is the Ray of Integration and Unity, obviously is the ray which teaches man and all other life forms and expressions to have a sense of balance, harmony and respect and to begin to unify his vibration, his speciality or function with all others.
But when this condition made manifest an awakening too sudden and not controlled by the higher plane focus or spiritual workers of other planes, and many who had achieved such mastership took the matters into their own hands and aborted the true and higher plan for the sons of men who were in third dimensional frequency, we had to abandon our schedule and to begin again. . . .
Planning until that point is sometimes equivalent to many years, or many lifetimes in some cases, even for a master demonstration. It cannot be measured in mortal terms, nor is it meant to be measured in mortal terms, because it has to do with the plan of Spirit affecting the entire race, and certainly as it is proper for that individual soul in his evolutionary progress and for the part he must play within the masses. So, there is no hindrance or no stigma attached to the fact that in the case of some individuals the raising of the kundalini in a physical body may take several lifetimes. . . .
Since Spirit is in all of these areas and regions, since Spirit creates and controls all life form, Spirit alone knows the hour and the moment for the final full awakening, when any one individual can demonstrate the powers of God, the knowledge of God, the love of God and the beingness of His cocreative life; a son in full-manifested glory. This is the crowning glory of any of the light workers and sons of the realm of Godship. It cannot be premeditated, it cannot be planned, it cannot be proclaimed by man alone. It must be prepared and it must be presented by the Spirit alone.
Man’s questioning concerning his responsibility to love is reflected in the historical dramas of many scriptures. For example, from the beginning to the end of the Holy Bible, from the book of Genesis to the book of Revelation, we have this question: Am I my brother’s keeper? The selfish part of ourselves destroys the unselfish; the mortal tries to murder the immortal. Yet, Jesus, who enacted for us the role of the Christ Self in each one, concluded the entire saga of man on this planet with, “I, if I be lifted up, will raise all men unto me.”
Self-examination on a frequent and regular basis is essential to answering honestly these questions. Repeatedly going within and connecting with your I Am spirit will help you discover your love potential for your fellowmen. The following passage is ideal for spiritual study and regular self-analysis. It is taken from the book Teach Us To Pray by Charles and Cora Fillmore, published by Unity School of Christianity. Charles Fillmore, cofounder of Unity, had incarnated previously as Paul the Apostle, and is now on the etheric planes as Hilarion, Chohan of the Fifth Ray.
That ever has been the purpose and the need for our higher spaceships in the outer fringes of Earth plane matter. You have known of this and you have delivered much in the way of information concerning those etheric ships so stationed. They are the protectors of the Earth’s atmosphere during the configuration of the planets, and the problems caused by thought forms and energies concluded on Earth in the ending of this age, known as the Mark Age period and program before the beginning of the New Age or Golden Era that shall come in short order and according to divine plan and purpose.
been too important or essential to the overall cause. For what we have done by projecting our vehicles to the Earth for very short spans of time — minutes; to the utmost, perhaps several hours, in a few cases — has been to prepare the frequency of Earth plane matter in accepting and holding that light vibration.
You may now begin to understand why we have taken all these precautions to experiment and to draw out the plan through the sleep or the unconscious state for many long years before it is brought to your conscious attention and allowed to be conducted from the conscious level. This then means the marriage between the conscious self and the superconscious Self that takes place in the Christing of the individual during a specific personal episode of life. That was accomplished on many occasions upon the Earth, but mainly used and demonstrated through the personality we call Jesus the Christ. So that you have this example, it has been given over and over again, and that has led you to dwell upon this as the primary example for the Earth. And truly it is that primary example, as has been stated over again through this channel and many others before her, and will be again after.
So, in one sense it is the merging of us on a higher plane with those of you on the Earth who are ready and receptive to our vibration and visitants. It also is the merging of your higher Selves or light bodies with your physical bodies in such a way that you are conscious of the two operating simultaneously, whether or not the two bodies are operating in the same plane and whether or not they are operating in the same place upon the planet at the same time. . . .
