Communication Behavior in Animals - Recognizing that Special Connection

Humans have traditionally held themselves as being separate and more intelligent (read "important") than other Beings. They perceived animals to be different ("they don't talk or look like we do; therefore, they are obviously inferior to us").

Until recently, this has been easy to believe where animals are conce
ed. They cannot speak "the language" like we do (of course, they don't have the vocal apparatus humans do which makes this feat basically impossible!). And, after all, humans can often control, dominate and manipulate them.

However, recent studies have shown that animals are much more intelligent than previously thought, and in fact, may surpass human intelligence in some ways. Researchers have observed multiple levels, methods and types of communication that were heretofore unknown and unsuspected.

Animals (and plants) use a variety of communication techniques to converse with each other. Alte
ate frequencies, projections, sounds and body language have been observed, and researchers now know there are additional variables that have yet to be discovered. I believe that these variables are telepathic in nature, and that every Being is born with the ability to communicate on this level.

Every animal love
knows they have a special communication connection with the animals in their lives. Many young children can "hear" animals talk and can talk back - that is, until their parents convince them that this isn't possible and they are being silly.

When we succeed in conforming our communication to the accepted modes of speech used by other humans, we shut ourselves down and begin to box up other species into neat packages that we can then pretend to manipulate and control. And, sadly, we lose an important part of ourselves and our connection with all of Life.

What if all creation contained a Divine Spark and God dwelled in each and every living thing, regardless of body shape or function? What if each separate Being was really like every other Being - the only difference was the type of body through which life was experienced? What if all Creation shared common essence, feelings and needs?

Many of us live with master teachers, healers and seekers disguised as animals... Who are you living with?
