Starlight and Echo: A Reincarnation Comparison

Is reincarnation real?

For some, no proof is possible.

For others, a “know” is all they need.

In 2005, my horse friend, Echo, extended part of her consciousness into the body of a kitten.

He told me in advance that he would come to be a cat with me.

The day the kitten was born, she telepathically announced herself to the Siamese breeder and said: “Echo, I’m coming.”

That same morning, I heard Echo tell me, “I’m blind.” “Kittens are born with their eyes closed,” I told her.

“I have toes,” he murmured with curious delight as he wiggled them.

Horses’ feet are actually just one toe, anatomically speaking.

Echo had told me a few weeks before that the kitten would be Siamese, female, and would arrive at the same kennel where Violet, my other Siamese, had been born.

The breeder was easily able to identify the kitten as Echo. Some friends picked her up for me when she was 9 weeks old.

For the past 5 years, I have reveled in Starlight.

I also discovered what I personally consider “evidence” of Echo’s presence as Starlight.

Clearly, a cat’s body and a horse’s body are different. Some of the similarities described here have been adapted to differences in size, structure, and species.

In each instance of, I observed the essence of the individual.

1. Starlight arrived with her lower back very tense and somewhat misaligned just above her sacrum. This exactly matched an injury Echo had in the last year of her life that we never fully resolved. Since then he has been treated with chiropractic and resolved at Starlight.
2. Starlight’s rear end is more typical of an equine build than a feline one. My chiropractic vet pointed it out to me.
3. Starlight instantly recognized a song she used to sing to Echo while riding her. It was “You Are My Shining Star,” which is, Echo tells me, where the name Starlight comes from. She hadn’t made the connection to the song until Starlight was already with me. I played it on the computer one day while she was in my arms, and her eyes lit up with recognition.
4. Echo loved to jump cavaletti and logs and even thin branches lying on a path. My TV tables have a bar between the legs that looks a lot like cavaletti, and Starlight, when he was a little kitten, would run and jump on them just for fun.
5. Starlight is very compassionate, sweet and full of joy, just like Echo. Like Echo, she is very gentle, loving, kind, and spiritually advanced.
6. Starlight is a lot of fun, especially when she’s playing. She is the only cat I have seen that, like a cartoon character, she can start running in one place before taking off. Echo also had a sense of humor and liked to outsmart me and other people.
7. Starlight hates conflict and will walk away, rather than fight or defend herself. Echo was at the bottom of the equine pecking order and avoided conflict by leaving situations where they were conflicting. She would take care of another horse that was injured instead of trying to drive them out of the herd.
8. Echo had big, solid legs for a horse his size. Horses’ feet are actually just one toe. Starlight has unusually large toes. When she was a kitten, it was very difficult to find her tiny claws to clip. They’re easier to find now, but her toes are still impressive for her size.
9. Echo had big, soft, gentle brown eyes. Starlight has big, soft, blue eyes, with love pouring out of them.
10. Echo used to shed most of the year, which is unusual for horses, which usually only shed in the spring and fall. Starlight also seems to shed year-round, which is just as unusual for a cat.
11. Starlight likes to groom me by licking my hair, like one cat grooming another. Echo used to move her muzzle on the back of my head and in my hair, like she was a horse.
12. Echo was a gray horse, a horse born a darker color that has no grey. Starlight is a blue point Siamese, her predominant color being grey. This may be coincidental, but since Starlight kept changing color for many months before settling on this one, I think she chose it, and the breeder confirmed that some kittens “pick” the color they want to be after trying different shades of color. Siamese.
13. When Echo told me she was coming as Starlight, she said, “now you can take me.” One of Starlight’s favorite games is getting into a tote bag so she can carry it upstairs from the basement.
14. When Violet and Sakhara were alive, Starlight always let them eat first, even though she had her own plate of food. Echo did the same when she fed with other horses, always coming last in the pecking order. Starlight still does this with Melissa, who is 3 years younger than Starlight.
15. Echo, and horses in general, would rather jump up than jump down. Starlight doesn’t mind jumping on things, but jumping down is hard for her if she’s higher than 3 or 4 feet, like on the refrigerator. And Starlight can barely conceive of jumping to heights that Melissa thinks are ordinary, like 5 feet or more, because she can’t imagine how she would get down.
16. Echo was always very careful to only put her feet on solid ground, as horses don’t like unsteady steps. Starlight is also careful with her feet. Unlike most cats who love cushions and fluffy pillows, she won’t step on anything that moves under her feet.

As you can see, there is a very long list of features that Starlight and Echo share. While this may not constitute “proof” to anyone, to me it is evidence supporting my original experience, ie Echo telling me that she would come back to me as a Siamese cat.

Of course I don’t need any external test at all. I can FEEL they are the same being. And that’s all I need, personally speaking.

My horse came back as a cat, and my internal “truth testing” center confirms it.

After all, I am telepathic with animals, and if you don’t believe it, well, that’s your choice. Our experiences and beliefs may differ.

I’m not out to try anything here. I just want to share my experience.

Namaste.
