Animal Communication

What Is Animal Communication?

One of my favorite quotes (with thanks to a website visitor, who provided the source) is:
"We are not physical beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a physical experience."
[  - Pierre Teilhard de Chardin:   a French Jesuit, scientist, and philosopher  * *   ]
This includes all of us, man, animal, plant, stone.... All Our Relations on this EarthWalk are, first and foremost, spirit. The physical manifestion of that spirit world is but a reflection, a shadow, an echo. One adventure in a great journey, and we all are journeying together.

As spirit, we are all of the same essence, intelligent beings who can interact, communicate, and learn from one another. Throughout my life, many of my most precious and respected teachers have been animals. I have learned much from them about tolerance, life, love, and about what it really means to be "human". I have talked to the animals all my life, but only recently has it dawned on me that I can help those animals to a better life here on earth by helping others to communicate with them as well. As more and more people are able to connect with their animal friends on a true and deep level, as equal spirits in diverse forms, the world, one voice at a time, becomes a better place for all.

"Animal Communication" is not a precious gift given only to the chosen ones, although it is true that certain humans have an easier time with it than others. Telepathic communication is a skill we are all born with, and due to the way humans interact with society and raise their children, most of us gradually lose. By the time we are "adults", the thought that we can talk to animals is something that only makes sense in the movies and story books. Good old Dr. Doolittle ... he wasn't far from wrong, you know!

With training, practice, and a large dollop of faith, people are able to regain, or strengthen if they have never lost it all together, that ability, if they so choose. If learning more about interspecies communication is your choice, perhaps I can help you to take the first steps.

[** The source of the quote had initially been attributed to Deepak Chopra, as it was used (apparently without a source reference) in one of his publications. However, it seems that the quote is much older than that, and Mr. Chopra had in fact borrowed it as well. Recently, Julie S. emailed me to say that she had been pointed to the original source of the quote, and the notation above has been updated accordingly. Pierre Teilhard de Chardin was born in Orcines, France, in 1881 and died in 1955 in New York City. I'm still open to further research on the quote, but the above appears to be the earliest source found so far.]
