Unicorns and Enlightenment
In 2013 a ground breaking research article on animal sentience was published http://www.livescience.com/39481-time-to-declare-animal-sentience.html . Many of us already have experienced this and it is not news to us, and many cultures have subscribed to this "discovery" for tens of thousands of years; however industrialized nations worship science so thank goodness for this article.
The majority of current industrialized cultures believe that the animal "human" is at top of the evolutionary chain with the paradigm that evolution stopped with humans as the crowning glory. The most interesting proposal regarding our placement in evolution is presented in the fascinating award winning book Ishmael https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ishmael_%28novel%29. In Ishmael it is proposed that we humans have crossed a wall of fire via our pre-frontal cortex gifting us with meta-cognition https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metacognition which is the ability to self reflect-- to know what we know. Ishmael suggests that we are only the first species to cross this cognitive wall of fire and all other species (plant and minerals possibly as well) will be following. And the question he asks is, do we turn around and lend a helping hand to the ongoing evolutionary and transcendent process, or continue to embrace the ethnocentric "Humans are God" position that ultimately will create our own demise.
Not all humans are enlightened or even "awake." And just like humans, animals exist at all levels of consciousness and awareness. It is clear that people and cultures who believe animals are equals, are allowing animal consciousness to evolve rather than enslaving animals (or other humans). We can observe the growing number of videos on YouTube exemplifying animals saving each other, illustrating inter-species compassion and caring and love, and the use of logic and tools to problem solve!
My animals are my equals. They have rights.... the right to argue, demand, ask questions, and to have complex wants and needs. My animals will not tolerate being ignored, locked up, talked down to, or abused by any one. Just like children that have been consciously raised, they are thinking and feeling evolved beings that express themselves, negotiate, show remorse, and set boundaries. You will not the see blind obedient compliance that arises out of repression (or abuse) which you see in mistreated, ignored, or oppressed humans as well as animals. Animals talk to me in my head. My animal family expresses their opinions and are allowed choices-- which we negotiate as is done in (healthy) human families. My needs and their needs form a daily intricate dance. My dogs cannot be crated for convenience nor my horses put in a small corral living on top of their piss and poop. They are all now high maintenance-- the price one pays for allowing consciousness and sensitivity to exist. Parents who allow their children to truly thrive pay the same price. And it is a price completely worth paying! But there is no turning back. Once "awakened" one cannot be returned to the land of denial and ignorance. Well, you can, but it takes power and force to shut down a being.
Higher development, enlightenment, awakening. Whether for yourself, your children, or your furs/feathers or scaled family members and the land you currently live on, enlightenment and awareness demand a different lifestyle. Definitely one I embrace. But there are drawbacks. Along with incredible connections, love, and adventures, you will find you are considered a weirdo by many. Additionally, my animals cannot tolerate being around other animals or people who are experiencing abuse, oppression, or are in physical or emotional pain. They will not stand for it-- they say something, they act out (animals have to speak through behavior as we humans are often so dense). Not only do I sense and "know" when animals are in pain (emotional as well as physical), so do my "kids," I also sense this with Mother Earth. There are areas of pain on land and we can sense and then help to heal if we chose to do so (as do all indigenous cultures that have a relationship to Earth-- if you have lost your talent for this, it can be re-gained with practice). Try explaining these perceptions, sensings and feelings to "normal" humans (muggles). There is a bit of isolation that occurs once your cross the line into allowing other species their evolutionary rights and allow yourself to tune into the energies of Earth.
I believe that Spiritual Animal Caregivers and Earth Caregivers are gatekeepers to the evolutionary option so beautifully explored in Ishmael. We are ushering in beings with a new consciousness and we are the lucky ones. We may lose some human friends, however we do get to be in deep relationship with these Beings who are our Teachers as well as our Beloved Friends.
As animals evolve, animal psychology becomes a necessity, not a luxury and not all animal communicators have a broad base of knowledge or experience. (As is true with so many psychics who have a gift but absolutely no psychological tools or knowledge to help people in an appropriate manner-- or parents that have absolutely no knowledge of the physical, neurological and emotional stages of development of children.) This is why you see Cesar Milan and Jackson Galaxy help well known animal communicators with the psychology of their pets. Just as children have stages of development based on neural capabilities as well as cultural influences, animals have different priorities, needs, and logic that are species specific. Animal communicators talk to animals, but they do not necessarily understand species psychology and there is a growing need for that especially with domestic animals who have to cope with human behaviors (often unhealthy behaviors) as well as interact with other domestic animals that might have problems based on abuse or neglect.
Animal Readings are different than animal communications. Communications tell you what the animal itself already knows. Readings can discover complex hidden problems for animals just as different therapies help humans to discover and face hidden and deep underlying problems or issues. If you have an "indigo" star child evolved animal who is facing some challenges or has some behavioral issues (and behavior is the main form of communication with animals.... not language as we know it), you might want to consider a Pet Reading. If there is some unsettling energies in your house or on the land around it, you might want to consider an Earth Healing session. LIFE PATH READINGS AND HEALINGS.
