DO ANIMALS ALSO GO TO HEAVEN?

William Judge gave the following answer:

« Looking at the question in the light of Theosophical theories, we see that a wide distinction exists between man and animals. Man reincarnates as man because he has got to the top of the present scale of evolution. He cannot go back, for Manas is too much developed. He has a Devachan because he is a conscious thinker. Animals cannot have Manas so much developed, and so cannot be self-conscious in the sense that man is. »

(Path, April 1894, p.5)

Blavatsky also noted that when humans were just beginning to form, they had neither Kama-Loka nor Devachan, because although these subtle plans already existed in Creation, the humans still did not have sufficiently developed their principle Kama (desires) and their principle Manas (mental) to be able to experience those states after death.

Master Pasteur indicated that animals already have these two principles (Kama and Manas) and consequently animals already desire and think, but on a much more basic level than humans.

William Judge pointed out that the animals after they die, they remain for a short period of time on the astral plane, before reincarnating on Earth, either in the same species or in a more developed species.

And I suspect that the most advanced animals must already experiment after their death, a small Kama-Loka, because their Kama principle (desire) is already sufficiently developed to be able to experience the Kama-Loka, although this will be much more basic than human experience.
