The "Why"

​If all physical entities on Earth - animals and plants alike - are merely temporary dwellings for our souls, and if our souls are just drops of water belonging to a vast, interconnected ocean of the One, then why is human connection so fractured?

​There are countless animal communicators who can telepathically connect with other species. Yet, we humans, who self-recognize as "the same species," rarely speak of communication that goes beyond words and physical vibrations. We should be able to telepathically communicate with each other, shouldn't we? Why aren't we doing it? Why don't we even believe in it?

​The "why" is simple: animals are pure, open, and spiritual. They communicate with their hearts, their whole bodies, and their intuition. Humans, on the other hand, generally exchange thoughts using only our minds, leaving our hearts out of the equation. We habitually block our intuition. Our minds are always guarded, on defense, and under control. We carry too many secrets and have too much to hide; hence, we build layers of resistance to ensure we don't let anyone in, or let ourselves out.

​Of course, we were born pure. When we were children, our minds and hearts were wide open. We still possessed a deep connection to Mother Nature and a soul-level awareness of the One.

​But power-hungry humans, who succeeded in controlling and ruling others, fabricated social structures and ideological systems specifically designed to lock us away in our own tiny mind prisons. Organized religions, ideologies that serve the ruling class (such as Confucianism, practical Communism, Materialism and Consumerism), patriarchy, and rigid hierarchical structures have birthed an endless array of social norms. Their goal? To keep our minds locked up and our hearts barred from our daily affairs, leaving them cold and inactive.

​I have been sinking into this idea for the past few days. This morning, I went to my 10:00 AM pole dancing class and saw an instructor I hadn't seen in a long while. Months ago, I had enjoyed a conversation with her about dogs. As I greeted her this morning, I updated her on my life, mentioning that I now aspire to be an animal communicator.

​She replied, "Yeah, I have been able to communicate with animals my whole life. I was just born with it. I’ve never actively searched for the terminology, and I’ve never formally practiced it. Maybe it's a little rusty now, because the community I live in deems it 'crazy,' so I subconsciously suppressed it. But I'm sure I'll get it back if I reopen that door. Since I was a child, I’ve talked to animals and ghosts - people in my family who passed away long ago. I’ve talked to pets, squirrels, birds, and once, even a tree."

​I asked her what she thought about human-to-human telepathic communication. She told me that in her early adulthood, there were two or three times she telepathically communicated with other human beings. They just sat in a room, having full conversations without using a single spoken word.

​She is now the third real-life friend of mine - all three of them women - who has calmly told me that they can see animal or human ghosts and communicate with beings telepathically.

​I guess to reach enlightenment, the first step is to see through the prison or trap you are currently stuck within. As I examine the depth of the lightless abyss we have fallen into, I see the advancement of human technology driving us further and further away from Mother Nature. I see AI, which is based solely on the most limited method of human-to-human interaction: verbal language.

​I look at my children and realize how many hours of their lives are being ruthlessly consumed by laptops and digital devices. Today, I took a deep breath and made a demand. I told them that today, they are not going to use any devices or receive any digital information. Instead, they are going to go outside, see what the birds in the trees are doing, and check how ripe the peaches are.
