I just want to say when ppl start trotting out quantum mechanics to support chicanery and folderol it’s a strong indicator they 1) know zero about frosh chem 101 (and that chapter on quantum mechanics) and 2) they forgot 8th grade science where the scientific method was fairly rigorously explained.
I won’t say we know it all in the science world, but to the OP: hiring a con artist to dx a horse for illness or lameness is tantamount to animal abuse.
Personally I know there are connections we make in our minds and between minds, but it doesn’t replace a doctor when someone is ill.
Also, animals have strong nonverbal communication skills, duh, right? They didn’t evolve speech.
Humans, alternately, did and we miss a metric sh!t tonne of information because of it.
It we stop behaving like the deaf/blind animals we are (in comparison to animals other than us), we might observe more, hear better, and not need “communicators” who for some reason are able to “see” and “hear” from thousands of miles away.
Humans love anecdotal information. They seem, we seem, to be unable to grasp hard science and statistics in a meaningful way. Example: lotto. Long, long, long odds. To the point of being fruitless, yet people play. Vaccines: anecdoteal accounts of autism and people open the door for diseases that kill children instead of vaccinating.
The list is endless, well rife is the word that comes to mind. From online scammers to “As Seen On TV”, people find reasons to believe in nonsense.
When people get shilled to get suspect information from an animal that doesn’t articulate the way a human does ( they say a picture is worth a thousand words, well ever see a mare lift a nostril, flick her ear back and swing her head? Probably an encyclopedia, but humans grasp a miniscule portion).
Now before someone takes umbrage and says “wut about gawd”, that is a personal belief system that has its ups and downs. I mean really, shall we deconstruct levels of belief to even contemplate who is right or wrong? Because there are those whose belief isn’t enough or correct, or properly expressed, so equating a personal philosophy is very inappropriate. In fact it’s downright foolish. Good scientists hold a variety of faiths, but that doesn’t/shouldn’t cloud judgement. Bringing it up just muddles your own argument.
Yes, I concur there is a lot we still don’t know. Horses are emotionally expressive animals and we take their tractability and remove them from what they evolved to rely upon as well as wholy understand. I would rather spend time watching and understanding my horse than call an “intuitive” across country who is probably doing as much guessing as anything else.
The worst part, is that posters here behave like these charletons are moving neuroscience forward. Grasping at oddball/obscure research is not strengthening your case. Calling Dr. Venkman.[/QUOTE]
Intuition is a process that gives us the ability to know something directly without analytic reasoning, bridging the gap between the conscious and nonconscious parts of our mind, and also between instinct and reason.
In essence, we need both instinct and reason to make the best possible decisions for ourselves, our businesses, and our families.
The word “intuition” comes from Latin verb intueri translated as consider or from late middle English word intuit, "to contemplate".[3] Intuition is often interpreted with varied meaning from intuition being glimpses of greater knowledge[4] to only a function of mind; however, processes by which and why they happen typically remain mostly unknown to the thinker, as opposed to the view of rational thinking.
In order to make our best decisions, we need a balance of intuition – which serves to bridge the gap between instinct and reasoning – and rational thinking, according to Francis Cholle, author of The Intuitive Compass. But the cultural bias against following one’s instinct or intuition often leads to disregarding our hunches – to our own detriment. (Huff Post)
So this isn’t just about emotions. Emotions are dynamic, this is more of a spiritual/soul level thing that doesn’t waver based on circumstances.
Emotions can be read as part of the deal, yes, but they don’t drive the ship. Just as physical aspects can be read too…
The best way it is described is SOUL READING. It doesn’t have to be connected to God, unless you want it to be.
Or if you are not a believer in that, it can just be more of a snapshot of physical and mental aspects-- leave the soul part out of it-- but that is how the foundation works.
WHAT IS ANIMAL COMMUNICATION?
Communicating intuitively with animals means mentally sending and receiving thoughts, images, and emotions. In this kind of communication you do not read body language or make guesses based on behavior. Most animal communicators work from a distance using just a description and do not even see a picture of the animal.
Animals are masters at intuitive communication. They talk to each other intuitively and are able to intuitively ‘sense’ people and the environment very well. (Take heed if your otherwise pleasant dog suddenly displays an intense dislike for a stranger.) In humans, on the other hand, intuitive ability has been suppressed and repressed by our modern cultures. We still use it - for example, to scope out a strange person or new situation - but our intuition is usually unconscious and uncontrolled.
Intuition is not gift possessed by a few special people. Everyone is intuitive and can learn to communicate intuitively. If you love animals, then on some level you are already doing this. With study and practice you can learn to do it very well.
The idea of intuitive communication with animals and nature challenges long-held beliefs, like the beliefs that other species are inferior to humans intellectually and do not have the emotional or spiritual capacity humans do. In my work I have come to see these beliefs as untrue and now identify them as some of the root causes for the ecological imbalances and crises we are now facing.
Intuition in Everyday Life
Even though most people don’t believe they have intuitive abilities, we actually use these abilities every day. See if any of the following situations seem familiar to you:
Knowing how someone is feeling emotionally or physically (even if you are not with the person).
Realizing that someone is angry or upset even if there is no outward sign.
Knowing who’s on the phone before you pick it up.
Recognizing when someone is lying to you or trying to manipulate you.
Thinking about someone and then getting a visit, card or call from that person.
Knowing how someone else feels about you (even if they have given no outward sign).
Suddenly feeling an unexplainable dislike or uncertainty about someone or something. (This is your intuition telling you to watch out.)
Whenever you say, “I have a hunch…” you’re really saying that you’re getting an intuitive impression about something. You’re making a guess based on little or no data by relying on your intuition. Just about everyone has had an experience (or knows of a friend’s experience) that can only be attributed to intuitive ability. You may also have found that when you follow your intuition things usually work out better.
How Intuitive Communication Works
To communicate intuitively you use your intuition to connect with another being, sending and receiving information mentally in one of these four main ways:
Sending and Receiving Feelings
You can send a feeling to an animal by experiencing the feeling and then imagining that the feeling is traveling (whatever distance) to the animal. When you receive a feeling intuitively, you get a sense of the emotions an animal is experiencing. For example, once I was talking intuitively with a horse and suddenly felt overcome by grief. It turned out the horse was missing his previous owner and was very unhappy in his current situation. All I knew was that it wasn’t me, because I had been feeling fine before I sat down to talk to him. This ability to feel the feelings of another is called clairsentience (clear feeling) and also empathy.
Using your intuition you can also feel or sense the physical feelings that an animal is experiencing; you can tell if the animal is in pain and where the pain is. When you practice this you can get more specific information, like the quality and duration of the pain. You can even get impressions about the state of an animal’s health - all of which can be helpful data for the animal’s health-care professionals. This type of ability is known as medical intuition. It is NOT diagnosis, and the accuracy of these impressions can only be verified by a health-care professional.
Communicating Mind-to-Mind
In intuitive communication you can send and receive thoughts mentally. This ability is called mental telepathy or clairaudience (clear hearing). When doing this, you actually hear words and phrases mentally. In a consultation I had with a horse long distance, I recall distinctly hearing the horse say, very emphatically, that his rib was out-of-place on the left side of his body. I was talking to him from California and he was in Wisconsin. Later that day, the horse was seen by a chiropractor who confirmed that the horse had the fourth rib out on the left side.
Receiving Visual Images
Using your intuition you can send a visual image to an animal and you can actually mentally see a picture sent to you by an animal. This ability is called clairvoyance (clear sighted) and also applies to being able to see into the future and the past. I use this ability every time I work with lost animals. I ask them to show me a picture of where they are and how they got there. From this I get specific data about direction, details of the route the animal took and what it can see now - all in pictures like a movie. For example, a cat I worked with (who was in another state) showed me his exact route, the warehouse he was in, the train tracks to the side of the warehouse and the ministorage building down the street - all details that were corroborated by his people when they found him exactly where he had shown me he was hiding. I also use this ability to find out what happened in an animal’s past. To do that I ask the animal to show me pictures of the past and past experiences.
Knowing When Something is True
The ability to know something is true without any logical reasoning or factual support (and even without knowing how or why you know) is another aspect of clairvoyance. Usually, when information comes to you this way, you feel very certain of it and no one can talk you out of it.
Contacting An Animal From A Distance
People find it hard to believe that I don’t need to see an animal in person to be able to do what I do. “How do you know you have the right black cat named Blackie?” they ask. Some day the physicists may be able to describe just how this can happen. For now there is no easy explanation, I believe that part of the key is my sincere intention to contact that very black cat named Blackie in a specific geographic location who is associated with the person who is calling me. The description, name and other identifying information about an animal functions as do the call letters of a radio station and tuning into the animal is like tuning into a radio station. When I talk to an animal, I do not need a photograph; I can work just from the name, age, sex and breed and description. To communicate with the animal I close my eyes and use the description provided to form a picture of the animal in my mind. Once I feel I have made contact, I introduce myself and begin communicating.
Skepticism is Unavoidable
For all the skeptics reading this, I can only say that, as a person trained in scientific methods, I, too, was skeptical when I began studying animal communication. At this point, however, I have worked in this field for more than a decade, testing myself for accurate results using verifiable experiments. I have proved to my own satisfaction the reality and accuracy of animal communication. I would not have been able to do that if I had not maintained an open mind and been willing to experiment.
