Telepathic Communication With

Animals, Plants, and Other People

Lecture based Questions:

1. Draw or describe a reminder or symbol of one of your helpers.

You know what to do!

2. What interferes with correct empathetic information between yourselves and others?

Projection, and no one is immune from this foible. You must always be wary about what you don’t want to know, what you wish others were feeling, and what you think about yourself in relation to the world. These are the false images that disturb the ability to receive the real connection that you desire.

The first projection that you need to discard is the notion that anyone is thinking about you. Call it ego-centered, call it modified paranoia, but this idea is always erroneous when it comes. The bona fide experience of someone thinking of you comes in a singular fashion. When the mind wanders and lights on a specific person, this is the true indicator that this person is simultaneously thinking about you.

The second projection is the displacement of your own opinions and feelings onto another being who cannot use words to communicate. Sometimes this mistake even occurs among family members who can express themselves verbally. The trick to sorting out this boo-boo is simple. You express your personal feelings in words. You receive actual telepathic and empathetic messages in pictures. The exception to this is that occasionally a helper will drop a single word loaded with meaning into the mind in order to guide the attention to a specific answer.

Denial is another form of projection. And don’t we use this one a lot! Incoming information is shoved aside because it is not expected, because it is unpleasant, or because you are afraid.

Desire can be an aspect of projection when your perceived need turns into the impulse to manipulate wordless beings (including your own bodies, organs, and cells). This would be when the will force is in use and one compels those who are smaller or less powerful to be living playthings. Respect for the person inside the body is the key to avoiding this pitfall.

3. Why are some people more successful at animal communication than others?

Interest is the factor that makes one person better at this than another. Of course, this applies to any subject! Some people have more history with animals than other people do. Adults with violence and other forms of chronic abuse in their childhoods tend to have too much on their minds already to perform this function clearly. Also, the self-image is at work; if one feels convinced that one cannot understand any being except through words, then the Astral Body obeys this command.

The greatest factor for working empathetically with animals and other beings is the ability to suspend the point of view. That is, to remove the identity from one’s central point of reference and move it to the being with which one desires to communicate.

4. Is there a step-by-step process that we can use to do this?

It would be a ponderous way to go, but you may use the following checklist for a few times until you become more confident in the naturalness of the art of phasing.

1) Invoke the Spirit of Truth. All you have to say is, “Thank you, Spirit of Truth, for leading me in the right way.” You don’t even have to say that. You can just allow the Spirit of Truth to enter your heart and your mind. You can also ask your Guardian Angel and the Angels in charge of your subject to give you the information that would bring enlightenment to all concerned.

2) Clear away distractions. Turn off the radio, TV, and other entertainments. Tune out the chatter of the people around you. Eventually you will be able to concentrate your focus in the midst of a busy crowd, but until then, give your mind a chance to practice undisturbed.

3) Get into the skin of the person you are reading. Actually what you are doing is phasing in with the client’s Astral Body, meaning that both of your Astral Bodies are becoming one temporarily. This is the easy part if you are an empathetic person. Everyone has a sense of self—people, animals, plants, body organs, microorganisms. This translates into your mind as a combination of emotional qualities. For instance, a small terrier may view himself as feeling metallic like a sword, edgy and fierce, with a deep appetite for physical contact. A house plant may feel vulnerable, curious, with a sense of camaraderie with the other house plants. A fly may feel very strong and on the prowl for an interesting meal. A man’s liver may feel eager to do the work, large, sleek, and curious about life. The pet psychic lady on Animal Planet sometimes does this by moving into a posture similar to her animal friend (when there are many distractions around her). Touching someone is an easy way to make this connection, but it is not necessary. Everyone loves to be touched in the right way, however, and it is a great service of love to affectionately caress a person while phasing in.

4) Get to the issue. Here would be the reason why you are doing this in the first place. The topic does not have to be important or complicated. Sometimes an animal is just eager to share opinions and memories with you. A plant can tell you what it needs, or whether it is fine. Once a dog friend was really glad that I had dropped by, because her water dish had been dry for over three hours and none of the people in her family had noticed. She was miffed about their being clueless. This is the part of the experience when you receive thoughts in picture form. The rapport can be involved and intricately detailed or simple. Sometimes the message is so short that it seems to be no more than a directing burst of energy. As long as you are paying attention, there is no problem with this step.

5) Talk back. Not necessary out loud, but do confer with the subject in a respectful and loving manner. Everybody likes to be treated as the equals that we are. Animals love to have things explained to them aloud; they consider it to be great fun. They also enjoy formal introductions. Everyone has their favorite mode of communicating, and when you are in phase it is easy to choose this mode. What should you be telling the person? Always state your intentions and your role. Always ask for any special requests or declarations. Always bless the person.

6) Give thanks for the moment of affinity. The Pet Psychic always thanks the animal out loud for sharing with her. This is a wonderful thing to do. Also great is to leave thoughts of friendship for now and for future lifetimes. Many animals have a traditional farewell, which roughly translates to “May our bond be continuous and supportive throughout eternity.” Plants are not usually so formal, but they love to have a mutual hug (if not physical, then mental) and a sense of intimacy. The function of gratitude lays down deep reverberations of healing, blessing, and discovery for both parties.

5. How do we communicate by distance?

The Astral Bodies of animals and other beings respond well to remote connections, but their physical consciousness does not. If you speak to them over the telephone, this is helpful in making a physical impression. The burden of result lies in your ability to focus. There are several methods that we can use to achieve quick physical response.

1) You must be certain and focused on achieving physical resolution. There is a fine line between this and between imposing will force upon the situation. So we must always be aware and be careful about our motives. Speak from the crown chakra and the heart, not from the “beak” of energy around your nose and chin. You may use an affirmation such as, “Josie the cat and I achieve harmony and agree upon a change for the better. We work together to bring peace and satisfaction to ourselves and to Josie’s mommy.” If your attitude is timid and not wishing to shake things up, your results will bring you knowledge but no physical improvement. Be clear as to why you are making a remote connection in the first place.

2) Use a visual aid to help your mind anchor on the subject. You may use a photograph, draw a picture, or use a model. Sound like voodoo? The voodoo rituals certainly employ this method in distance work. Use of a surrogate has been around for a long time. You, however, are using it for the mutual benefit of all concerned, and the work is hedged with blessing and built with surrender to the Divine Plan. You may also touch an object that belongs to the subject (psychometry).

3) You may also work in concert with the caregiver of the person. For instance, arrange for Josie’s mommy to hold the cat at an appointed time. The mommy empties all thoughts in a meditative state and acts as a physical surrogate to you. This is actually a very powerful form of action, as the energy involved in the triple coordination moves with depth and amplification.

6. Exercise: Doing It

Using the steps in number 4, let us have a meaningful interaction with a plant, an animal, and a microorganism.

Plant—Observe the plant and its self image. Gently touch and stroke the plant. How does it respond to your sincere inquiry after its wellbeing? You may also address the Devic being that cares for the plant.

Animal—Observe the animal and the “hood” of its identity. After introducing yourself, note how it responds to your friendly presence. Sometimes it is helpful to remove your own self-consciousness. Remember to give the appropriate farewell.

Tiny Life—Observe a glass containing algae. In your mind’s eye, picture a single spirulina cell surrounded by its siblings. Note its quality of peacefulness. Allow friendly feelings to pass between you.
