My son has the ability to communicate telepathically with animals and spirits.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My son also has the ability to see things inside the body that even high powered electron microscopes can&amp;#39;t see. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He can also move energy....for example, he can look at t spoon and make it bend without touching it. After it bends, if you touch it, it feels hot to the touch.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Why is everyone so surprised when animals display &amp;quot;intelligence&amp;quot;? &amp;nbsp;First of all, intelligence is a human construct. &amp;nbsp;It cannot be measured. &amp;nbsp;Secondly, why is it that an animal must display an &amp;quot;intelligence&amp;quot; similar to that we think we demonstrate ourselves in order to be worth our respect? &amp;nbsp;People say it&amp;#39;s okay to kill and eat cows because they are stupid. &amp;nbsp;So are a lot of people, but we don&amp;#39;t kill and eat them.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The bottom line is, people will have a lot to answer for in the end, because unlike the Holocaust, of which the desired result was extermination, the murder of animals for food is ongoing....and will continue to go on as long as there is money to be made. &amp;nbsp;People have done horrible things to each other, but what we are doing to animals goes far beyond that.&lt;/p&gt;

The floor, no cages, had cats, dogs, and rabbits who seemed to be asleep. My cat had trouble with the dog smell until she put her nose in my arm pit. About a third of the class got it and it blew my mind for three months. Practice session. A new cat? No, but we moved last year. If she can do this can she do that? Usually yes. On a whale watch we were always the first to cross the deck. Sea sick on the hatch but she was sometimes the first to mention an unusual sight. In a park, the ranger wanted a leash but admitted when the dog, a hundred feet away, walked in a square she had control. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;On her web space the herbs work also.&lt;/p&gt;

I think it is totally possible to have animal products such as unfertilized eggs and raw milk and be able to treat the species providing them very well (appropriately lovingly), with no harm and no collateral harm such as veal calves, etc. Some point out that you have to feed your dog, etc., meat (preferably raw) so killing another animal will be necessary, as it is for animals themselves. It would take too long to address this &amp;nbsp;question in its full scope but I will point out that the right `attitude' (not a typical pet-owner's kind of unconscious identification with their pet) will transform the needs of both the owner and the pet. It shouldn't be too hard to extrapolate the sometimes extraordinary results of TFT and EFT and things like Body Electronics to realize that many things (I would say all) are the way they are because the mind is stuck there. If you choose not to eat animals out of love (rather than sentimentality), recognizing their innate spiritual nature, you will be transformed. In extraordinary cases of someone refusing to kill and eat an animal even in the face of hunger, they and and the animal can be transformed. This transformation will likely be met with some challenges, however. The depth of determined love must be commensurate with the circumstance.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This is why I think that doing EFT to take away the guilt of eating animals, while being able to help this change of state, is ultimately missing the point (another large topic).&lt;/p&gt;

I know it's the smell that makes her act that way because she will be friendly with those same people when they don't reek!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;She also jumped up once and pinned me against the back of a couch that was beside an open window while we were visiting a friend. My friend had forgotten about my sensitivities and had opened a container of a chemical. By the time I started to notice the smell, Duchess went to the door whining incessantly to go out so I went outside with her and she settled right down. How do they know?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;in Waikiki. There are lots of formations of dark, craggy, very&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;textured rock out there in about 8 feet of water. They are habitat&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;for all sorts of tropical sea life. &amp;nbsp;The smallest fish tend to &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;shelter quite close to the rocks so its fun to swim up and check&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;them out. From 3 or 4 feet away I became aware that a portion of the upper&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;edge of this one rock was actually an amazingly well camoflagged little octopus.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It was perfectly still, the exact color and texture of the rock it was plastered&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;against. &amp;nbsp;I thought wow what an incredible adaptation. I was in awe, amazed &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;that a creature could evolve to look just like those rocks. I wondered if my own species&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;had evolved in such a conscious way. I was in admiration. Slowly he or she&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;kind of slid to the top of the rock &amp;amp; took more like the shape of an octopus&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;turning a brick color in the process with some of the knobby, craggy texture still dark.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In a couple of seconds the skin become satiny smooth and I was bowled over. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This incredible foot long octopus then showed me a whole range of colors, some so quick it&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;was like a flash. I was mesmerized and so touched that he had felt my admiration and&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;decided to show me his stuff. I even got worried that maybe he was getting carried away and&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;might be putting himself in jeopardy from other predators. Octopus is a delicacy in Hawaii but&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;he was totally confident that I was a diver he could trust. He knew my mind and my heart&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;and taught me a real lesson about how our thoughts and feelings and intentions communicate with other sentient&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;beings.&lt;/p&gt;

LOL!) &amp;nbsp; My cats have responded fabulously to animal communication sessions and have helped me to help them with health issues. &amp;nbsp;The communicator told me things she could never have known unless the cats told her. &amp;nbsp;Amazing....I'm sure there is much more we don't yet know about animal intelligence and psychic communication. &lt;/p&gt;

She's 14 years old now, and has never ceased to amaze me with her personality. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The best example of her being psychic is her ability to 'predict' earthquakes. We live in NZ in a part of the country that gets them fairly regularly, and every time without fail she'll do backflips down the hall and get a wide-eyed, wild look in her eyes between 5-6 hours before they arrive. She gets very jumpy, jumps sideways, and follows me around staring into my eyes with hers, like she's trying to tell me something. It's very sweet but also a bit scary as you never know how big it'll be but you know it's coming! As a child I would also wake up 15mins before them - haven't done it in years, but she still manages.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;She's also a very moody creature. She'll ignore you for days very deliberately if you've annoyed her - refusing to look at you, coming in and talking to everyone but you, making as if to come for a fuss and then taking off when you look at her... it's very funny. Then she'll give up and be all lovey and smoochy and purr around you again. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;She also likes to talk on the phone when I travel overseas. She has full-blown conversations, licks the phone, purrs... there've been times where nobody has seen her all day, but within minutes of a phone call starting she'll suddenly appear in the room and start kissing the phone trying to talk. It's quite uncanny.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I love pets.&lt;/p&gt;

It could be that the development of speech is what puts these in the background. I have observed that infants, from birth to about 6 months of age (before speech) will respond to thoughts. I have often passed a mom carrying her child, and I 'think' to the child &amp;quot;Hi little one&amp;quot;. They will instantly turn and look for the source of the communication. When they are aware of me as the source I will think &amp;quot;I love you&amp;quot; and they get the biggest smile on their face. Once language developes this ability diminishes into the recesses of consciousness. Try it.&lt;/p&gt;

I was interested in the geometry of gravitation theory hence the switch from physics to mathematics.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I completely lost respect for science, and am glad i left.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Science is good for measuring the material reality(sometimes), and scientists are standing on very thin ice when trying to address what might be &amp;quot;supernatural&amp;quot;. Most scientists do not seem to understand that their whole system is based on unproved axioms that are accepted as true. Quantum mechanics was based on Logical positivism which has been showed to be flawed.To assume that the narrow grid of definition throrugh which reality is viewed is all of reality takes incredible amounts of arrogance.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I have expereinced things that are not scientifically verifiable, things that boggle my left- brain logical mind. Things like a dead pet visiting me and waking up to feel his paws running across my arm. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;OR..When i would drive home from grad school cross country my favorite dog would wait in the window all day for me...He had no way of knowing i was coming.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Like any pet owner i can share dozens of instances of empathy and even mystical type experiences with my animals.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;OTOH I would warn people that many of the 'pet communicators' out there are not genuine and say that &amp;nbsp;you are perfectly capable of communicating with your animal yourwself.&lt;/p&gt;

And it is not by chance they are very eloquent, persuasive, brilliant and of course blindly stubborn in their arguments. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Shine a light that could see all their past behaviors, perhaps even past lives, and I think you'd find behaviors which could only be justified if such things did not exist. We all &amp;nbsp;have such histories, some more than others. &amp;nbsp;We all need to forgive ourselves and others, to come to a higher place, where such powers as intuitive compassion, telepathy will be considered normal. &amp;nbsp;The intellect is not our highest faculty. &amp;nbsp;Unconditional love, compassion, wisdom, a sense of knowing, the higher mind, intuition, connecting to higher energies and intelligences - these are our higher faculties. If you throw these away all you have left is - intellect. So it becomes highly developed. It is very encouraging that our culture is waking up slowly to this. A university education will not make you more moral, spiritual or more happy. It can make you smarter, yes. It can help you find work, yes. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
