This is an article I received in Lynn McKenzie's last newsletter. This article was something I considered to be a message in itself, as the main character is an African Grey parrot whose name is N'kisi. When I was first reading it and came upon the parrot's name, I had to do a double-take, as his name at first glance looked SO much like one of Nissa's mainstay nicknames, Niski. And in fact, it's an anagram of her name. Upon REreading his name, I also saw it was so like a "Nis'-kiss", my word for Nissa's kisses. Add to that, this parrot is grey and all this, in total, is another one of Nissa's patterns of getting me to recognize her continuing presence....her name, or something very close, along with a reference to "grey". I already knew she'd decided on sending me her name wherever she could, but now also see the continued reference to her colour as well! Then of course, there's the point of the article itself, that being telepathy and communication, something that was a central theme in my relationships with both Sabin and Nissa.
I later thought that this article might also be of help to those who want to believe this form of communication exists, but are skeptical or just don't understand HOW it could possibly be (or think that messages such as the ones above are 'reaching'). To that end, I'm submitting it here, in hopes it may help doubters understand and see that it IS indeed possible.
Feature Article
I recently received an article from a friend that describes a parrot with an unparalleled power to communicate with people. N’kisi, an African Grey, invents his own words and phrases such as ‘flied’ for ‘flew and ‘pretty smell medicine’ for aromatherapy when he is confronted with ideas for which he does not possess vocabulary for. He even jokes around and introduces interesting phrases into conversation.
The intelligence of this being is in itself is amazing, but the part of the article that really sparked my interest was the part about interspecies telepathic communication. If you have always wanted to believe in animal communication but felt that you needed some ‘concrete’ proof that it is in fact possible, I think this may do it for you.
“In an experiment, N’kisi and his artist owner were put in separate rooms and filmed as the artist opened random envelopes containing picture cards”. Obviously parrot and woman were still in complete communion with one another despite the separate locations as “&%^ysis showed the parrot, from the other room, had used appropriate keywords for the cards three times more often than would be likely by chance. This was despite the researchers discounting responses like "What ya doing on the phone?" when N'kisi saw a card of a man with a telephone, and "Can I give you a hug?" with one of a couple embracing.
As I was preparing to write this article, a timely newsletter from Liz Mitten Ryan arrived in my inbox with the following quote from her new book:
"Consciousness is ALL and ALL is consciousness. There is only one consciousness. When you realize the implications of this truth you realize that thoughts anywhere in the world, human or animal, are all available. It is harder for humans to tap into the consciousness of ALL, but it is possible, and even more so, when we connect with animals and nature. Like Monet says, you must make it routine. It is similar to meditation, but a meditation done in the company of animals and nature. It is particularly easy in the presence of horses, as the vibration of their energy is large and of a high frequency."
"The reason animals are all connected to consciousness is that they have not formulated any rules or limitations as to how the world works, - they simply respond to their intuition rather than discounting it as unscientific. Science is beginning to discover that infinite possibility does not follow rules."
I couldn’t have written it any better myself, it echoes my sentiments exactly. Each of us can communicate with our animal companions and all of life by accessing the collective consciousness. All it takes is trust, intention, practice and a little time spent in solitude with nature and the animals. I am currently working on a new in depth home study audio course and manual to help you to do just that. Keep an eye out for further details.
