I would be far, far, far more skeptical about animal communicators and whether there is in fact an ability to send “messages”, be they pictures, feelings, or whatever, save for some life experiences I have had. Given the general tone of this thread, some of them are too deeply personal to want to share, but there is one that I will. Remember-- this is not an experience I sought out. I was a kid, I knew nothing about telepathy, metaphysics, etc. I grew up in a house where my dad was a trained medical doctor, my mother a social worker using Freudian theory-- i.e. very science and scientific process oriented.
One day after Christmas, my beloved dog got out of the backyard and followed my mother ( who was walking) to the local grocery store. We had some neighbors over-- casually-- and so there were lots of people at the house. I did not know the dog was out. All of a sudden I had a horrible feeling of dread and anguish sweep over me, and I began to cry and scream, “My dog is dead, my dog is dead.” My dad said I became so hysterical he thought I had gone mad. My family-- save for my mom-- and neighbors were there. In other words-- lots of people who saw this. Some moments later, my mom was dropped off at the house in a strange car with the body of my dog in her arms. The car had hit my dog, killing her.
I remember the living room of the house falling silent, and everyone just looking at me.
I don’t know how I knew what I knew-- but I did. And there were people to witness it.
I used to also be able to know who was on the phone, who they were calling for, back in the days of landlines. I just thought this was normal. I would say, “Oh Dad, Mr. X is calling for you.” My parents and sisters thought this was odd, and then got used to it. It took me awhile to realize this was not something everyone could do. Yes, I was right far beyond what time, coincidence and circumstance might say about who was on the phone.
There are some others-- experiences that happened, not ones that I sought out-- but I do not want to share them here. Suffice only to say that this sort of thing happening was sometimes frightening and disturbing. It was not something I liked occurring. I did my best to just close myself off from “it”-- to block that part of my brain or whatever from – whatever.
I do not claim to be a physic, I do not consult them. I used as AC on my horse once, out of curiosity. I do think there are ACs with a gift of some sort that allows communication on a plane others of us have blocked-- we could do it-- we have blocked the ability or the desire to do it. There are also people parading as ACs that are frauds. But a fraudulent AC does not mean the whole field of people are frauds-- only that one.
How did a 10 or 11 year old child know about the death of her dog… before she could have known? All these years later, it makes me feel very sad, I feel the loss and grief as I remember that situation. It is not pleasant recalling it. I put it on the message board as the one incident I can point to where there were plenty of witnesses. They all saw what happened. I don’t have a ready explanation, and no one else does either. But I knew. And because of that, I do not readily discount that there are many things about this world we do not understand, and just because we do not understand them does not mean they do not happen, cannot happen and are not there.
