This might seem like a ridiculous question to many of you who are still ridiculed or misunderstood for being a vegetarian, but I believe it is a distinct possibility. We have all become vegetarians/vegans for a variety of reasons. For some it is because you can no longer eat fellow sentient beings; others cannot deal with the system of bringing animals to slaughter in this country or the treatment of animals in the process of providing human food; others still have health reasons for making this switch. |

I believe that all sentient beings have the same innate rights to life, freedom and pursuit of their life mission. I believe that all sentient beings have a mission. Whether we are talking about a human, a cat or a praying mantis, all have a mission and all have an innate right to pursue it without threat of harm or containment. My experiences with interspecies communication has intensified this belief. You can't communicate this way with animals and then eat them.
But even though I believe this with my whole heart, and I support the Declaration of Animal Rights, I struggle living it out. |

Is animal communication a gift? Can anyone do it? Can you learn to do it? Can only certain people with "the gift" do it? Is it something "others" can do but not you? Well the answer to all these questions is everyone can do it. "psychic ability" is not a special gift. Intuition is not something to scoff at or relegate to "women's intuition". It does take putting aside our skepticism, our "empirical" mindset, our left brainitis. It is a right brain function. |

What do you do when what you believe so strongly, when what you know in your heart to be true clashes so intensely with what someone you love deeply also believes and knows in her heart to be true?? What do you do?? What do you do when the rights of animals conflict with the rights of humans and you don’t believe that one species is more valuable than another??What do you do? What do you do when the choice is between torturing pregnant monkeys, killing their children and perhaps making healthier human babies? |

What do mainstream religions say about animal communication? Well those who believe in the Catholic tradition have this story in their repertoire: ST. FRANCIS AND THE WOLF: While Francis was staying in that town he learned of a wolf so ravenous that it was not only killing and eating animals, but people, too. The people took up arms and went after it, but those who encountered the wolf perished at its sharp teeth. Villagers became afraid to leave the city walls. Francis had pity on the people and decided to go out and meet the wolf. |

Defying gravity? Are you a fan of the Wizard of Oz? Have you seen the musical Wicked? What does any of that have to do with Interspecies Communication you ask? Well before Jan 1st I would have asked the same questions. But this morning, today my whole sense of the world of OZ is upside down and it has EVERYTHING to do with interspecies communication or rather the lack thereof. If you have either read Gregory Maguire’s book or have seen the musical Wicked, you know that the entire plot of turning the main character Elphaba, against the Wizard of Oz and into the Wicked Witch of the West, revolves around a conflict with talking animals. |

Code of Ethics For Interspecies Communicators Formulated in 1990 by Penelope Smith Our motivation is compassion for all beings and a desire to help all species understand each other better, particularly to help restore the lost human ability to freely and directly communicate with other species. We honor those that come to us for help, not judging, condemning, or invalidating them for their mistakes or misunderstanding but honoring their desire for change and harmony. |

Once upon a time, the creative force of love hovered over the chaos of the universe and said, “Let there be life”. And the universe shuttered and heaved, rocked and rolled and Life was born. Life came in many forms and many varieties, but all life was intelligent, beautiful and good. Life took up space in the universe and all Life lived in unison with each other, the four legged, the two legged, those who could fly, those who slithered across the land, from humanoid to insectoid, all Life was in communion. |
