Is Animal Telepathy Hocus Pocus Or Reality?

By Amanda Baird


Today many people are interested in animal telepathy. Scientists study it, psychics practice it, pet owners solicit it, and scoffers belittle it. There is no definitive proof that humans and animals can communicate on a mental level, but there are fascinating studies and testimonials on this subject that can lead even the most pragmatic to wonder.

Science has some evidence for non-verbal communication that does not seem to involve body language. There is no definitive proof one way or the other to present to sceptics. However, some of the research is very interesting, not to mention disturbing to our human complacency.

For instance, there were studies done with plant and animal species that showed fascinating results. If tiny shrimp were thrown into boiling water in a closed room, plants in adjoining rooms would show a disturbance in inner electricity which was being tracked by sensitive monitors. Moving the plants into rooms farther away did not change the results. Evidently the plants reacted to moment-of-death emotional responses of the shrimp.

This is disturbing to those of us who eat plants, shrimp, and other organic foods. Of course, we have to eat something, and it does not seem possible to survive on inorganic material. We can be reassured by biblical accounts of the Creator providing plants for our food and Jesus partaking of the Passover lamb. We just have to come to terms with the fact that our food might be sentient.

So why should it be impossible to tap into the thoughts of 'higher' kinds of animals? (It was once thought that single-cell organisms, for instance, were less advanced than more complex organisms. The electro-magnetic microscope and DNA studies have changed that thinking.) It makes sense that creatures that can communicate with each other - like whales and dolphins and migrating birds - could communicate with humans.

Horses are subjects that psychics say they can communicate with. Many owners consult an animal communicator if they feel that they do not understand one of their equine companions. One owner was told that her new horse was wondering where his blanket was. It was true that the former owner had always blanketed the animal in the stall and that the new owner did not.

Christians are instructed not to ask for guidance from psychics, but to rely only on God and the Holy Spirit. However, there is a gift of the Spirit that gives wisdom and discernment. It seems probable that a godly person could both have and/or profit from this gift on behalf of animals. It is something to pray about, certainly.

Animal telepathy does seem to exist. Whether you want to participate in it is a matter you must decide for yourself. Whether or not it's true communication between animal and human is still controversial, so do some research and then decide for yourself.
