A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE


Choosing to open the door to this wiser, more mystical concept of animals demands that we examine with new eyes how we relate to our companion animals. It calls us to shape-shift how we co-exist with them. If we are open to this new paradigm, we will come to know what the individual members of our animal families truly think and believe in. We will discover what they know to be true, that they, too, have a soul, karma, a path and a purpose.  As we accept this, we will come to know that we are in each other's lives for a reason and purpose well beyond what convention would have us believe or accept.

How we look at them, how we relate to them and how we champion them must be forever influenced by this knowledge. Whatever "problems" might exist will be revealed as lamplights along this path of purpose. These lamplights will lead us to a new way of being, seeing, believing and understanding. This wiser, more mystical concept will ask us in every way, at every level how do we now conduct our lives in relation to them and for them? For that matter, how do we now conduct our lives in relation to everything?

As an animal communicator and shaman for over twenty years, I have come to believe and accept, with all my being, that this is the truth. At least it’s my truth...

“But I don’t want to go among mad people,” Alice remarked. “Oh, you can’t help that,” said the cat, “We’re all mad here.”

Lewis Carroll, ALICE IN WONDERLAND

This way of being will require willingness and a deeply grounded courage to think, be and act differently.  You will be asked to take on the role of your animal companion’s advocate in a reality that does not support much of what you will come to know.   In opening to you in this way, your animals will require of you that you stand in this truth.  They will call for you to claim what they have shown you as real to the world.  Consider and contemplate carefully before you choose this road.  It is far crueler to open this door for them and later allow it to fall shut, because you were unable stand up for what they need and deserve, than it would be to never open it at all.

Know that for the challenges that this path brings, it also can create change and bring gifts in amazing and wondrous ways. It will filter and tunnel it’s way into every aspect of your life and create positive personal change in ways you would have never imagined.

At the end of your journey together, you will have peace in knowing that you each gave and got all that was meant from your time together.

And yes, this wiser, more mystical concept could just help to heal the world...

"I'm sometimes asked, 'Why do you spend so much of your time and money talking about kindness to animals when there is so much cruelty to men?' I answer: 'I am working at the roots.'"

George T. Angell, (1823-1909), reformer and founder MSPCA
