Communicating with Animals

Penelope Smith and Mr. Pinkerton at the workshop

Our interspecies communication workshop with Penelope Smith  was wildly successful. The trouble with telepathic interspecies communication, as per Amanda our web person who is very practical, is that it is hard to believe some of the things people say the animals say. She has summed up one of the reasons this work is controversial for so many people – that when we go to the more diffuse, non-verbal, more feeling levels in our brain, we are vulnerable to confusing our own feelings and wishes with what we are receiving from outside. We do receive things from the outside all the time. We receive on many channels, only some of them conscious, but we can only hear them if we tune into them. Just like a radio dial - the signals are here but we can’t hear them unless we tune to that channel. For all intents and purposes they don’t exist for us.What Penelope teaches in her interspecies communication workshops is to quiet down, go deep, search for and tune oneself to other channels, and begin to learn to make that very distinction, by feel.

What comes from outside; what comes from inside. I invite her here because it is so important to her to be as ethical and accurate as possible. She also says the proof is in the pudding – if the animals respond or not in actuality. Do they heal; quiet down, stop the problem behavior. Is the reading of their physical ailment borne out by a vet. That balance between seeking to explore beyond accepted reality while keeping ones feet on the ground is very precious and a wonderful thing to strive for as we try to understand the world around us. Though I myself do not receive telepathic messages that I know of, I do believe that it is possible that some people do and it is a worthwhile avenue to explore with the animals – and to explore without prejudice the nature of the universe in which we live.
