Who Are The Dumb Animals Again?

Are animals dumb? I have heard that said before. As we are evolving into the next step of human evolution, everything about how we interact will change. When I am looking for examples of how humans will be, I always look to two groups to give me the answers. One is young children under 10 and the other is nature. One of the characteristics of new human behavior is the attribute of unconditional love for all things and knowing that we are all connected by an invisible web. This shift into unity consciousness is constantly bringing up questions for me about how we will change in different areas that are present now. Like eating, shelter, daily activities and as in my last article - language and communication. This is a continuation of the discussion of language in the new age.

We like to think that we are better than animals because we have the ability to think and speak. I always thought that this notion was kind of elitist but since my awakening in 2000 I know this to be a myth. I am no different than that whale in the ocean or the ant crawling along the dirt. We like to separate our selves from animals because that is how we have been. We have lived in a consciousness of duality where we believe that we are separate. Not only separate but better than the animals and also each other. To use animals as anything to emulate is a silly concept. Isn’t it? Anyone who studies animal behavior or is a true animal lover may not agree.

In my last article, I brought up the point that we may use non verbal communication as opposed to speaking with words as words leaves room for misinterpretation. Communicating by using body language, eye to eye contact and possibly telepathically are some examples of non verbal communication. Mass consciousness is a concept that modern physics is just scratching the surface on and if you read science journals you will see that objects communicating through an unseen connecting web is now almost considered a fact in quantum physics. This web is what new age spiritualists (labels are so limiting and divisive) have talked about for 20 years or longer. Is communicating with each other in this way so far fetched?

Look at the animals. How do they communicate? They seem to know what the others in their flock or herd are doing or going to do. How do they do that? I believe that they do that through the unseen web that connects them. Animal scientists will also say that many species use differing verbal sounds to communicate different things. Things like threats that are nearby or where to find food sources. Have you ever watched birds? If one finds some interesting morsel they all seem to come out of nowhere to join in. The insect world is a great example of non verbal communication.

They are amazing at getting together as a unit to accomplish whatever they attempt. Ants are a beautiful example of co-operation and living in harmony with each other. They, to me, have a very sophisticated level of communication between each other. We use the word “dumb” at times to describe someone who doesn’t speak. Are animals dumb just because they don’t speak words like we do?

I was reading an article about the problem Tokyo was having with crows. The crow population has wildly increased in the last 10 years and they are causing problems with the electrical grid. They are nesting on power poles and shorting out transformers causing power outages. Tokyo’s electric company has a special brigade of workers that go around and spot nests and destroy them. The article was about how the crows have adapted to this attack on their nests by building “dummy” nests that are empty in an attempt to divert the “crow brigade” away from the real nests. Doesn’t sound very dumb to me. Do animals think? This must take some pretty high level communication between them to accomplish this trickery and also some process of thought.

Communication between the cetaceans (whales and dolphins) has been well documented and studied. Of course from my “wild” perspective it is obvious that these mammals would have a very intricate level of communication as I believe that they possess the highest, most enlightened consciousness of any species on earth, including humans. Their sounds may seem like chatter to us but what does our chatter sound like to them. Whales and dolphins are excellent examples of unity, harmony and heart to heart communication that will be attributes of human behavior in the new age.

You may say that animals are dumb creatures that just sit around all day and do nothing. How can we be like them.

We seem to gauge our existence and our worth by what we “do.” We run around, chase the dollar and are seemingly unhappy unless we are doing something. With a new perspective on what life is and who we are, that behavior will also change. The animals probably look at us and say to each other - Those humans are sure silly. They race around in circles just to end back at the same spot and then think they are smarter than us because we just relax and enjoy the day. Who are the enlightened ones?

It is well known that migrating animals use the unseen magnetic grid to guide them in their migrations. The idea that there is an unseen web for communication between us may seem the stuff of science fiction but it wasn’t long ago that gravity and magnetism occupied that same position in our consciousness. I know we like to proliferate the concept that if we can’t see it, isn’t real but surely there has been enough proof of grids around us that serve different purposes for us to believe that there may be a web that we tap into subconsciously to communicate with each other. Animals use it every day.

Language and communication for awakened humans on the new earth may resemble our animal brothers and sisters, where we use non verbal communication as our primary connection. Nature seems to get along just fine without words. I believe that we know that we are merely one species of animals, but for me to suggest that humans are the same as animals will probably not go over very well.

Looking at the animals as an example of an enlightened human’s behavior makes perfect sense to me. They are certainly not dumb and their methods of communication are highly evolved. If we learn to trust non verbal communication as real and valid then it may be the new form of language for the new human on the new earth.

Then we can be “dumb” like the rest of the animals on earth.

What Language Will Be Spoken in The New Age

May 1, 2008 · Filed Under Humanity · 3 Comments 

I was watching a video from Google god Matt Cutts the other day and he said there are over 5000 languages on earth of which Google is available in 100 of them. 5000 languages. 5000 different ways to say “hello, goodbye, I love you.” With the awakening of humanity that is happening right now, a topic I have written extensively on, we will know that we are one with all things. How will we communicate with each other. Will it be a universal language? Will it be telepathy?

The spoken word is such a poor way to communicate because it leaves itself open to misinterpretation. It is very difficult to convey feelings. Humans love to confuse things by not speaking their truth. With the next step in our evolution that factor should be gone but describing concepts like the essence of god within or, as I said, communicating feelings will still have it’s downfalls. Throw in the factor of 5000 different ways to say the same things and something will have to change.

I was born on the Canadian prairies where English was and still is the predominant language. I went to school in the 60’s just when Canada was becoming an officially bilingual country. It was mandatory for us to take French. What I was taught was Parisian French which is useless in Canada as Quebecois (French spoken in Quebec) is almost like another language. I always enjoyed French class and loved the romantic sound of the language. Thirty five years later I moved to Quebec. Anyone that knows Canada would say “What the heck are you doing in Quebec?” as Quebec is virtually 100 percent French-speaking.

In the 9 or 10 years that I took French, I learned a lot of nouns and verbs but the people in Quebec can’t understand them when I try to talk so I have to learn French again almost from scratch if I want to communicate any more than hello, goodbye and I love you. My communication consists of a lot of hand gesturing and body language. Deep conversations of the ones I enjoy are almost impossible. but I love Quebec and the Quebecois people so I am determined to learn French.

I spent last winter in Mexico. I left a place where I talked like a two year old, nouns and verbs in present tense, to a place where I had even less knowledge of the words spoken.

I found Spanish to be much easier for me to pronounce words as each letter is pronounced. In French there can be a 10 letter word where you only pronounce the first 3. I am unable to talk fluently in French or Spanish but it’s been fun thinking in English and saying si or oui or gracias or merci. I would walk down the street in Mexico saying bonjour then come back to Quebec and say hola. I was confused. How do people that know multiple languages do it?

It made me think about what the next step in language and communication will be on the New Planet Earth.

Maybe this is the future for language.  Speaking them all!
