THE PARABLE OF RASTUS — How a Killer Cat Became a Master Healer …

THE PARABLE OF RASTUS — How a Killer Cat Became a Master Healer (and What That Means for Your Transformation in 2026)

Have you ever felt stuck in a behaviour you don’t like … but can’t seem to stop?

Have you ever thought:

“I know better. Why am I still doing this?”
“Why does this old pattern keep running me?”

Or maybe you’ve tried to change something, a reaction, a fear, an instinct, a habit; but your nervous system keeps dragging you back into the same loop.

If so, you are in good company.

Because even Rastus, our beloved cat, once lived inside that battle.

And his transformation holds a powerful secret about your Vertical Core and your next evolution.

When the Hunter Woke Up

Years ago, we brought four chooks and two ducks onto the property.

We were living our peaceful bush dream … until we remembered ONE small problem:

Rastus had a past life as a chook killer.

The moment he saw the chickens:

• His eyes sharpened
• His tail twitched
• He stormed around the house like a furry tornado
• He climbed the curtains
• He clawed my antique couch
• He sharpened his nails with Olympic enthusiasm

Within hours, he had separated one poor chook and was preparing for the kill.

Our peaceful sanctuary was suddenly feathers and chaos.

Rastus was running on old wiring, old instincts, old survival patterns; completely outside his true nature.

Sound familiar?

Because humans do exactly the same.

The Day Everything Changed

After multiple failed attempts to restrain, lecture, or negotiate with a determined feline murderer, I suddenly had a moment of inspiration:

“I’ll give Rastus a Miracle Method Session and delete his killer instinct.”

Before Pete could protest, Rastus was on the lounge-room mat — licking his lips,
plotting his next attack, radiating mischief.

As I tuned into his system, I found his “hunter program”, the primal loop that was running him.

And I cleared it.

Halfway through, he released a wave of grief.

The old identity dissolved.

Then, in dramatic Rastus fashion, he sprinted around the corner and shredded my workshop notes into confetti … a final protest.

But from that moment, everything changed.

He never touched a chook again.

Not once.

Not even when they strutted past him cackling provocatively.

A complete reset at the deepest level.

Rastus Today: The Buddha-Cat

Now at eight years old, Rastus is the calmest, wisest, most grounded energy on our property.

He follows me everywhere.

He protects the chooks, ducks, and even newborn ducklings.

He sat in our Miracle Method Immersion circle like a seasoned healer, holding emotional space for the group’s inner-child work with an astonishing presence.

Students cried … he walked over and comforted them.

Students broke open emotionally … he sat beside them like a guardian.

He became a healer because he aligned with his Vertical Core.

How Rastus Teaches Us About the Vertical Core

When Rastus lived from his old “hunter” identity, he was completely horizontal:

• Reactive
• Instinct-driven
• Scattered
• Ruled by the past
• In survival mode

This is exactly what happens to humans when we are pulled sideways by old emotions, trauma, beliefs, and nervous-system loops.

But the moment his old program dissolved, Rastus dropped into his Vertical Core, the central axis of presence and truth.

And everything changed:

• His energy became calm.
• His awareness became clear.
• His instincts softened.
• His presence became healing.
• He anchored into who he truly was.

This is what happens when ANY being reconnects with their Vertical Core:

• Their nervous system regulates
• Their identity shifts
• Their reactivity calms
• Their intuition opens
• Their field becomes coherent
• Their soul finally leads

This is what YOU experience through the Miracle Method.

Rastus is simply the furry, adorable demonstration model.

THE MORAL FOR YOU

A leopard can change its spots.

Old patterns can dissolve quickly and permanently.

Your nervous system can be rewritten.

Your true self is waiting beneath the old programming.

And dropping into your Vertical Core is the key to your evolution in 2026.

If Rastus can transform from killer to healer…

If Cedric can walk through his stubborn gate…

You can absolutely step into your higher self too.

YOUR CALL TO MIRACLE MOMENT

If you feel:

• Stuck in an old loop
• Held back by instinctive reactions
• Inflamed, overwhelmed, or exhausted
• Disconnected from your true self
• Ready for the next version of you …

This is your Rastus moment.

• Book your session.
• Start your protocol.
• Say YES to your healing.
• Say YES to yourself in 2026
• and open the doors to the transformation your soul has been waiting for.
