quite an unanticipated but it was 77 00:04:20,660 --> 00:04:17,940 very natural it was sort of a wonderful 78 00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:20,670 experience we had a conversation all the 79 00:04:27,320 -->

00:05:30,780 see the bar and ahead there were maybe 105 00:05:35,659 --> 00:05:32,610 six of us in the ride and the owner of 106 00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:35,669 this eco village to the retreat was up 107 00:05:41,300 --> 00:05:38,610 front and her name is Debbie so at this 108 00:05:44,990 --> 00:05:41,310 point he says you can actually 109 00:05:47,020 --> 00:05:45,000 understand me can't you and

00:06:00,509 training oh so I got off of the horse 116 00:06:04,939 --> 00:06:02,460 and I waited till the other guests were 117 00:06:06,469 --> 00:06:04,949 gone because I didn't really know what 118 00:06:10,010 --> 00:06:06,479 to make of this or what people would 119 00:06:11,990 --> 00:06:10,020 make of me where I'm sure and I waited 120 00:06:14,149 --> 00:06:12,000 to tell Debbie privately in the tack 121 00:06:16,969 --> 00:06:14,159 room she gave me a funny look when I 122 00:06:18,740 --> 00:06:16,979 told her and then a few hours later at 123 00:06:21,890 --> 00:06:18,750 dinner she came up to me in the dining 124 00:06:26,089 --> 00:06:21,900 room and whispered how do you know about 125 00:06:27,980 --> 00:06:26,099 that and I said about what she said how 126 00:06:29,689 --> 00:06:27,990 do you know about teton I don't 127 00:06:31,610 --> 00:06:29,699 understand how you could know the 128 00:06:33,230 --> 00:06:31,620 stableman and I the last week had been 129 00:06:35,180 --> 00:06:33,240 talking about sending him back for more 130 00:06:37,879 --> 00:06:35,190 training please explain that to me 131 00:06:40,490 --> 00:06:37,889 that's where it began wow that's 132 00:06:42,170 --> 00:06:40,500 interesting I was wondering to the 133 00:06:44,300 --> 00:06:42,180 trainer and so on if that was in Costa 134 00:06:45,710 --> 00:06:44,310 Rica probably their native tongue is 135 00:06:48,470 --> 00:06:45,720 Spanish too right 136 00:06:51,170 --> 00:06:48,480 well the these horses were all born and 137 00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:51,180 raised other okay 20 in the herd there 138 00:06:58,490 --> 00:06:54,930 and they work they work you know Taurus 139 00:07:00,680 --> 00:06:58,500 doing um okona workshops and carrots so 140 00:07:02,180 --> 00:07:00,690 they are going to hear mostly Spanish 141 00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:02,190 because the stable men speaking Spanish 142 00:07:07,970 --> 00:07:05,010 right Debbie always speaks in English 143 00:07:11,150 --> 00:07:07,980 but i don't think that language exactly 144 00:07:13,190 --> 00:07:11,160 yeah yeah yeah what happens I think what 145 00:07:15,020 --> 00:07:13,200 happens although I would love to talk 146 00:07:16,790 --> 00:07:15,030 with a linguist about this or maybe a 147 00:07:19,580 --> 00:07:16,800 cognitive science I don't know who would 148 00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:19,590 really have the answer but I'm so fun 149 00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:22,770 presupposing that that the mind the 150 00:07:30,290 --> 00:07:26,850 brain itself mm-hmm forms meaning mm-hmm 151 00:07:33,230 --> 00:07:30,300 and the intention to convey or express 152 00:07:36,620 --> 00:07:33,240 that meaning to another and then words 153 00:07:38,090 --> 00:07:36,630 are sort of ascribed to express that 154 00:07:41,030 --> 00:07:38,100 meaning right I'm thinking them yeah 155 00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:41,040 comes after after the formulation of 156 00:07:47,510 --> 00:07:44,370 intent to communicate I think so I was 157 00:07:52,610 --> 00:07:47,520 interesting point I don't know what your 158 00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:52,620 personal feelings are about ETS possibly 159 00:08:00,710 --> 00:07:56,690 communicating with humans aliens and ETS 160 00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:00,720 communicating with humans but I am told 161 00:08:07,700 --> 00:08:04,050 and I have experienced a communication 162 00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:07,710 that was in my mind and formed English 163 00:08:15,159 --> 00:08:11,010 words and other people have to had that 164 00:08:19,370 --> 00:08:15,169 happened in whatever language they spoke 165 00:08:22,670 --> 00:08:19,380 from from the et presence so since they 166 00:08:25,540 --> 00:08:22,680 communicate directly telepathically why 167 00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:25,550 not horses and dogs and cats and others 168 00:08:34,909 --> 00:08:30,450 could be I am I certainly stand willing 169 00:08:37,250 --> 00:08:34,919 to learn and I don't have a clear idea 170 00:08:40,310 --> 00:08:37,260 of the mechanism the biological 171 00:08:42,409 --> 00:08:40,320 mechanism but I trust what I heard and 172 00:08:44,540 --> 00:08:42,419 it certainly been corroborated many many 173 00:08:47,780 --> 00:08:44,550 many times over since that first 174 00:08:50,930 --> 00:08:47,790 experience six years ago well from 175 00:08:54,710 --> 00:08:50,940 reading your most recent book that you 176 00:08:58,820 --> 00:08:54,720 actually you have a publishing party 177 00:09:01,910 --> 00:08:58,830 coming up on now I believe that 178 00:09:06,740 --> 00:09:01,920 your latest book walking to beauty I was 179 00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:06,750 struck by how much your experiences in 180 00:09:13,490 --> 00:09:10,290 the book was very much like mine in many 181 00:09:17,630 --> 00:09:13,500 ways and also entirely different by that 182 00:09:19,970 --> 00:09:17,640 i mean the the actual experiences were 183 00:09:24,770 --> 00:09:19,980 very much the similar not the same but 184 00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:24,780 similar but then the way you reacted or 185 00:09:30,770 --> 00:09:27,090 interacted with those experiences were 186 00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:30,780 what totally different and so i was i 187 00:09:38,450 --> 00:09:34,650 was very fascinated by that and really 188 00:09:41,870 --> 00:09:38,460 enjoyed the book thoroughly so um are 189 00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:41,880 you going to continue and write another 190 00:09:47,990 --> 00:09:44,490 book of that nature well you know what's 191 00:09:51,740 --> 00:09:48,000 really funny this is this is interesting 192 00:09:54,050 --> 00:09:51,750 to me you are anticipating without 193 00:09:56,780 --> 00:09:54,060 realizing what you've been saying twice 194 00:10:00,440 --> 00:09:56,790 you you've said the book title as 195 00:10:02,540 --> 00:10:00,450 walking beauty and it's waking to beauty 196 00:10:04,940 --> 00:10:02,550 but what's really funny is the next book 197 00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:04,950 that I've just begun is Walking with 198 00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:08,730 Raven and I thought maybe you perhaps 199 00:10:13,370 --> 00:10:11,010 you've tuned into that somehow already 200 00:10:15,710 --> 00:10:13,380 well that's possible because I wrote 201 00:10:18,410 --> 00:10:15,720 down here waking to beauty no but you're 202 00:10:20,510 --> 00:10:18,420 talking twice and I have

isn't that interesting huh yes it is 206 00:10:29,660 --> 00:10:27,870 maybe that's a whole other conversation 207 00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:29,670 about time and weather would even exist 208 00:10:33,950 --> 00:10:31,530 right so that's a different that's a 209 00:10:36,020 --> 00:10:33,960 different answer that's a very link th 210 00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:36,030 and it would be a very very long 211 00:10:41,330 --> 00:10:38,370 discussion as to whether time exists and 212 00:10:42,950 --> 00:10:41,340 what it means in all of that who's Raven 213 00:10:46,460 --> 00:10:42,960 is that another horse or is at the 214 00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:46,470 actual Raven this is a great story I was 215 00:10:52,130 --> 00:10:49,890 hired by one of my clients i now am 216 00:10:54,220 --> 00:10:52,140 offering my services as a neckline and 217 00:10:56,450 --> 00:10:54,230 path and i have about 15 clients who 218 00:10:59,180 --> 00:10:56,460 occasionally bring me on to their horse 219 00:11:00,440 --> 00:10:59,190 farms to help them communicate with 220 00:11:03,380 --> 00:11:00,450 their horses and figure out what's going 221 00:11:05,470 --> 00:11:03,390 on and one of my new clients had adopted 222 00:11:08,780 --> 00:11:05,480 a horse from the virginia equine welfare 223 00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:08,790 society the uws and about six months 224 00:11:12,170 --> 00:11:10,890 later they wrote to her and said you 225 00:11:13,639 --> 00:11:12,180 mentioned a woman wrong 226 00:11:15,410 --> 00:11:13,649 sunburn who helped you with your horse 227 00:11:18,980 --> 00:11:15,420 we're having trouble with one of our 228 00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:18,990 newest horses do you think she could 229 00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:22,770 come so my client Renee as a gift to 230 00:11:27,980 --> 00:11:26,370 them hired me took me there it's got an 231 00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:27,990 hour and 20 minutes ride from where I 232 00:11:32,660 --> 00:11:30,450 live in central Virginia and I went and 233 00:11:35,150 --> 00:11:32,670 I was helping them with a horse who had 234 00:11:37,370 --> 00:11:35,160 been rescued from a pretty traumatic 235 00:11:39,310 --> 00:11:37,380 situation a place called New Holland 236 00:11:42,470 --> 00:11:39,320 rest new holland which is where they 237 00:11:46,639 --> 00:11:42,480 they ship horses who are on their way to 238 00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:46,649 be sold for meat packing etc at anyway 239 00:11:51,290 --> 00:11:48,930 yeah anyway they had pulled her out of 240 00:11:53,570 --> 00:11:51,300 this off with this facility and were 241 00:11:58,160 --> 00:11:53,580 trying really hard to help her to be 242 00:12:00,050 --> 00:11:58,170 well and stabilized and then be adopted 243 00:12:02,329 --> 00:12:00,060 and she was struggling so there I was 244 00:12:04,940 --> 00:12:02,339 and I was working with her and then 245 00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:04,950 while there I started checking in with 246 00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:06,330 some of their other horses I thought 247 00:12:11,980 --> 00:12:08,250 might not be helpful and talk to the 248 00:12:14,690 --> 00:12:11,990 others and I'm focusing on a horse named 249 00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:14,700 rain and I'm standing there looking at 250 00:12:18,260 --> 00:12:15,810 her and there's a group of people 251 00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:18,270 standing around and up behind me walks 252 00:12:23,930 --> 00:12:22,050 this horse whose name is Raven and it 253 00:12:25,370 --> 00:12:23,940 was a little bit distracting because I'm 254 00:12:27,140 --> 00:12:25,380 trying to talk to rain and she's 255 00:12:30,140 --> 00:12:27,150 actually talking to me but then I here 256 00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:30,150 Raven and I hear her right behind my 257 00:12:36,380 --> 00:12:33,810 right shoulder and she's saying I'm the 258 00:12:38,870 --> 00:12:36,390 horse that you need I'm the horse it's 259 00:12:41,540 --> 00:12:38,880 gonna help you deep in your work take me 260 00:12:44,990 --> 00:12:41,550 home with you ha and I finally stopped 261 00:12:47,420 --> 00:12:45,000 and turned around and said Raven I heard 262 00:12:49,730 --> 00:12:47,430 you I heard you but I need to focus on 263 00:12:53,090 --> 00:12:49,740 what I'm doing and I continued to talk 264 00:12:57,410 --> 00:12:53,100 to rain and then I left and got in the 265 00:13:00,260 --> 00:12:57,420 car with my client and Raven was in my 266 00:13:02,900 --> 00:13:00,270 heart she was just there and I couldn't 267 00:13:06,019 --> 00:13:02,910 stop thinking about her and so three 268 00:13:08,030 --> 00:13:06,029 days later I wrote to the facility and I 269 00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:08,040 said I've never owned a horse before I 270 00:13:12,410 --> 00:13:10,170 don't even consider myself a horse 271 00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:12,420 person I do this because it's a gift and 272 00:13:16,790 --> 00:13:14,130 I feel called to do it but I feel like 273 00:13:19,300 --> 00:13:16,800 Raven are supposed to be with me long 274 00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:19,310 story short Raven is my horse now 275 00:13:24,769 --> 00:13:23,010 wonderful wonderful person and the 276 00:13:25,940 --> 00:13:24,779 journey has begun it's already quite 277 00:13:27,740 --> 00:13:25,950 profound so I am 278 00:13:29,390 --> 00:13:27,750 working on a new manuscript it may take 279 00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:29,400 me a year or two but it is called 280 00:13:34,850 --> 00:13:32,970 walking with Raven oh wow because it's a 281 00:13:37,460 --> 00:13:34,860 little harder than adopting a dog or cat 282 00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:37,470 it's a lot harder than adopting a cat 283 00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:40,290 with faculty need about two to four 284 00:13:47,510 --> 00:13:44,610 acres pleasant barriers and oh yeah 285 00:13:50,390 --> 00:13:47,520 that's not an inexpensive hobby indeed 286 00:13:52,310 --> 00:13:50,400 it is not well and so things have worked 287 00:13:54,590 --> 00:13:52,320 out well with Raven and she is the 288 00:13:57,770 --> 00:13:54,600 subject a lot a large amount of the 289 00:14:00,290 --> 00:13:57,780 subject of your newest book so my newest 290 00:14:03,620 --> 00:14:00,300 book that just came out the subject is 291 00:14:06,620 --> 00:14:03,630 beauty she's a mayor who lives in Costa 292 00:14:08,330 --> 00:14:06,630 Rica yes Raven is happily boarded my 293 00:14:10,610 --> 00:14:08,340 husband and I have put up our house from 294 00:14:13,790 --> 00:14:10,620 for sale we're moving to a horse farm so 295 00:14:16,370 --> 00:14:13,800 they think with us so as I say I'm her 296 00:14:18,890 --> 00:14:16,380 person but she's settling in nicely and 297 00:14:22,130 --> 00:14:18,900 I will probably be engaging her to work 298 00:14:23,810 --> 00:14:22,140 with me um to to seminars and and to two 299 00:14:27,350 --> 00:14:23,820 readings with people facilitated by 300 00:14:29,570 --> 00:14:27,360 Raven that's that's my new life beauty I 301 00:14:32,900 --> 00:14:29,580 have known for six years she is a wise 302 00:14:35,900 --> 00:14:32,910 being she's a being that appeared to me 303 00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:35,910 in a waking dream state and asked me to 304 00:14:41,450 --> 00:14:39,450 continue to write and I went then to see 305 00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:41,460 her to find out what it was she thought 306 00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:43,290 I should be writing about that's the 307 00:14:52,010 --> 00:14:45,690 whole second half of the book waking to 308 00:14:53,900 --> 00:14:52,020 beauty yes so horses horses are always 309 00:14:57,950 --> 00:14:53,910 have I've always loved horses they've 310 00:15:02,120 --> 00:14:57,960 always seemed to be incredibly noble and 311 00:15:05,630 --> 00:15:02,130 yet I haven't ridden much since I was a 312 00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:05,640 teenager and in fact uh you know have a 313 00:15:09,890 --> 00:15:08,130 certain amount of well beyond respect a 314 00:15:12,380 --> 00:15:09,900 little bit of fear of getting on the 315 00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:12,390 back of horses but I do trust them on 316 00:15:17,030 --> 00:15:14,490 the other hand I think that I would 317 00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:17,040 probably only be hurt because of my own 318 00:15:25,850 --> 00:15:22,890 in abilities hmm well you're speaking to 319 00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:25,860 someone who's not a writer I I can ride 320 00:15:31,820 --> 00:15:28,290 I it's not something that I have longed 321 00:15:34,220 --> 00:15:31,830 do to do the one reason why that book is 322 00:15:38,330 --> 00:15:34,230 titled walking with beauty is it that's 323 00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:38,340 what we do I I walk next to her for 324 00:15:42,830 --> 00:15:39,690 exercise 325 00:15:44,420 --> 00:15:42,840 writing my gosh it's a whole world that 326 00:15:49,340 --> 00:15:44,430 I'm learning about and it runs the gamut 327 00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:49,350 from the racing industry to dressage to 328 00:15:55,700 --> 00:15:52,410 barrel racing and Rubio Raven used to be 329 00:15:58,220 --> 00:15:55,710 a barrel racer to trail riding horses my 330 00:15:59,930 --> 00:15:58,230 exposure now is broadening because my 331 00:16:02,780 --> 00:15:59,940 clients are coming from all those 332 00:16:05,180 --> 00:16:02,790 different areas I can say that when I've 333 00:16:06,860 --> 00:16:05,190 been on trail rides most of them not the 334 00:16:09,260 --> 00:16:06,870 place in Costa Rica but most of them the 335 00:16:11,570 --> 00:16:09,270 horses are so checked out there so 336 00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:11,580 sullen and withdrawn that I can't reach 337 00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:13,290 them I think that they're sort of just 338 00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:16,530 broken down yes they seem sad and when 339 00:16:24,140 --> 00:16:20,130 I've ridden when I have worked in New 340 00:16:26,030 --> 00:16:24,150 York State as an entertainer and have 341 00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:26,040 been given the privilege of being able 342 00:16:32,990 --> 00:16:29,130 to ride a horse the day before the day 343 00:16:36,140 --> 00:16:33,000 after my booking it always seemed sort 344 00:16:39,890 --> 00:16:36,150 of sad to me the horses seemed sad and 345 00:16:43,490 --> 00:16:39,900 very most of them very very nice but 346 00:16:49,550 --> 00:16:43,500 just as you say checked out perhaps but 347 00:16:52,310 --> 00:16:49,560 very sad you know weary and sad but I do 348 00:16:54,980 --> 00:16:52,320 i do love and respect horses and i think 349 00:16:57,530 --> 00:16:54,990 they have wonderful hearts well that's 350 00:17:01,280 --> 00:16:57,540 the thing about a horse they're their 351 00:17:03,710 --> 00:17:01,290 capacity to pump blood um is many many 352 00:17:05,510 --> 00:17:03,720 many times greater than ours in terms of 353 00:17:08,030 --> 00:17:05,520 the volume that's moved through their 354 00:17:11,270 --> 00:17:08,040 bodies a minute they are heart-centered 355 00:17:13,010 --> 00:17:11,280 creatures and although of course their 356 00:17:16,970 --> 00:17:13,020 other organs are engaged in their 357 00:17:19,100 --> 00:17:16,980 survival just like ours with some reason 358 00:17:21,020 --> 00:17:19,110 they are still very much centered in 359 00:17:23,110 --> 00:17:21,030 their hearts the healthy ones right the 360 00:17:28,580 --> 00:17:23,120 healthy ones the ones have been broken 361 00:17:30,980 --> 00:17:28,590 in brutal and you know abused I'm sorry 362 00:17:34,670 --> 00:17:30,990 no I think they are of all domesticated 363 00:17:36,500 --> 00:17:34,680 animals the most abused it's some of the 364 00:17:38,690 --> 00:17:36,510 purposes that they're used for it's just 365 00:17:41,420 --> 00:17:38,700 hideous and slaughter is probably number 366 00:17:44,780 --> 00:17:41,430 one and number two I I don't know the 367 00:17:47,660 --> 00:17:44,790 racing industry done properly I guess is 368 00:17:51,020 --> 00:17:47,670 ok but it there's so much shenanigans 369 00:17:53,420 --> 00:17:51,030 it's ridiculous I get doped up yes yes 370 00:17:57,680 --> 00:17:53,430 I'm sad what about what I'm learning 371 00:18:00,110 --> 00:17:57,690 I yeah me too it's true with a lot of 372 00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:00,120 our industries that are so intensely 373 00:18:06,550 --> 00:18:03,690 driven by the profit motive but I I have 374 00:18:09,410 --> 00:18:06,560 to believe in hope that individual 375 00:18:11,630 --> 00:18:09,420 owners love their horses my husband and 376 00:18:14,870 --> 00:18:11,640 I just watched Secretariat you know the 377 00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:14,880 Disney film yes and of course it's 378 00:18:21,260 --> 00:18:19,170 portrayed in a certain way right though 379 00:18:24,230 --> 00:18:21,270 it still made me cry because of the love 380 00:18:26,300 --> 00:18:24,240 that that horse was so devoted to to the 381 00:18:28,100 --> 00:18:26,310 people in its life it appeared to be and 382 00:18:30,770 --> 00:18:28,110 that's the thing that about these these 383 00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:30,780 creatures we we do abuse them and they 384 00:18:37,730 --> 00:18:34,610 continue to support and service despite 385 00:18:39,470 --> 00:18:37,740 yeah I ADIZ feel too I mean certainly 386 00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:39,480 you obviously have a connection to 387 00:18:44,270 --> 00:18:42,330 horses do you think that as Farrugia 388 00:18:46,310 --> 00:18:44,280 mentioned at the beginning certain 389 00:18:49,430 --> 00:18:46,320 people have an affinity towards certain 390 00:18:52,550 --> 00:18:49,440 species well yes my sister's a dog 391 00:18:55,670 --> 00:18:52,560 person and here's an example she served 392 00:18:58,100 --> 00:18:55,680 as a sheriff for the LA Sheriff's 393 00:19:01,640 --> 00:18:58,110 Department for until she retired 394 00:19:05,180 --> 00:19:01,650 recently and she was held in very high 395 00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:05,190 esteem and as a professional police 396 00:19:11,990 --> 00:19:09,690 woman she was only once taken off of her 397 00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:12,000 job and reprimanded and it was because 398 00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:14,730 she hesitated to shoot a dog that was 399 00:19:20,450 --> 00:19:18,330 lunging towards her aah and she could 400 00:19:22,340 --> 00:19:20,460 she was traumatized by because she 401 00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:22,350 couldn't she couldn't kill it even 402 00:19:27,350 --> 00:19:24,570 though it was positioned to attack and 403 00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:27,360 hurt her it was a dog on a site where 404 00:19:34,730 --> 00:19:31,890 they

is one day the director was there 443 00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:39,720 not the girl and she was talking with 444 00:21:45,020 --> 00:21:43,410 Debbie about one particular girl and the 445 00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:45,030 horse who'd been assigned to this girl 446 00:21:51,290 --> 00:21:47,970 was in the area and started getting very 447 00:21:54,740 --> 00:21:51,300 agitated and clearly needed to talk and 448 00:21:59,090 --> 00:21:54,750 I tuned in and he wanted to talk about 449 00:22:01,430 --> 00:21:59,100 the girl and I didn't and long story 450 00:22:04,010 --> 00:22:01,440 short we actually called her she had 451 00:22:06,020 --> 00:22:04,020 stopped talking and withdrawn and would 452 00:22:07,580 --> 00:22:06,030 not communicate with anybody at the 453 00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:07,590 house and was sort of hiding and 454 00:22:11,180 --> 00:22:09,690 cowering and they didn't know how to 455 00:22:13,910 --> 00:22:11,190 help her and the horse was hearing this 456 00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:13,920 whole conversation so I talked to the 457 00:22:18,740 --> 00:22:16,290 horse and I actually then asked them to 458 00:22:20,750 --> 00:22:18,750 call the girl on the telephone ouch they 459 00:22:22,730 --> 00:22:20,760 did and then they brought 460 00:22:24,650 --> 00:22:22,740 the phone towards me and next to the 461 00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:24,660 horse and I explained to her that the 462 00:22:29,030 --> 00:22:26,250 horse was listening and what he was 463 00:22:32,780 --> 00:22:29,040 saying and then you could hear her begin 464 00:22:35,900 --> 00:22:32,790 to sob and then I understand she began 465 00:22:38,390 --> 00:22:35,910 to talk and so he was able to reach her 466 00:22:41,090 --> 00:22:38,400 indirectly in that way but he sensed her 467 00:22:44,660 --> 00:22:41,100 and he could pick up that she needed him 468 00:22:46,700 --> 00:22:44,670 in being just hearing them discuss what 469 00:22:50,060 --> 00:22:46,710 was going on with her it was quite 470 00:22:52,310 --> 00:22:50,070 moving yeah really it's there are 471 00:22:54,740 --> 00:22:52,320 wonderful programs of that nature I 472 00:22:56,810 --> 00:22:54,750 don't know how many people have your 473 00:23:00,200 --> 00:22:56,820 ability to actually hear the horses 474 00:23:02,930 --> 00:23:00,210 speak but I do know that a young girl of 475 00:23:06,310 --> 00:23:02,940 my acquaintance

00:23:14,190 on the horses like you know younger 479 00:23:18,470 --> 00:23:16,380 teenagers I believe who had 480 00:23:21,350 --> 00:23:18,480 developmental difficulties and they were 481 00:23:23,900 --> 00:23:21,360 withdrawn and as they got up on the 482 00:23:27,620 --> 00:23:23,910 horses and were able to have this girl 483 00:23:30,050 --> 00:23:27,630 walk the horses and with you know with 484 00:23:34,120 --> 00:23:30,060 that child on the horses back the 485 00:23:37,730 --> 00:23:34,130 children improved greatly in their 486 00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:37,740 socialization and became a lot more 487 00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:43,170 pliable and workable I there are so many 488 00:23:47,150 --> 00:23:45,090 wonderful stories all over the world 489 00:23:50,870 --> 00:23:47,160 these programs are proliferating and I'm 490 00:23:54,020 --> 00:23:50,880 so very glad that and such a wonderful 491 00:23:55,850 --> 00:23:54,030 you so I hate even were use the word use 492 00:23:58,910 --> 00:23:55,860 but such a great purpose for the horse 493 00:24:03,160 --> 00:23:58,920 once is a fulfilled in this world yeah 494 00:24:06,470 --> 00:24:03,170 yeah um they are so wanting to have a 495 00:24:08,570 --> 00:24:06,480 something valuable and helpful to do 496 00:24:12,350 --> 00:24:08,580 with their lives I mean they really do 497 00:24:14,360 --> 00:24:12,360 like we do but people want to feel like 498 00:24:20,150 --> 00:24:14,370 we have a purpose in our lives and the 499 00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:20,160 horses are the same and so I understand 500 00:24:24,530 --> 00:24:22,650 they're also working in with some people 501 00:24:26,870 --> 00:24:24,540 who are incarcerated and working with 502 00:24:29,750 --> 00:24:26,880 vets who are still dealing with some of 503 00:24:32,820 --> 00:24:29,760 the stress post-traumatic stress yeah 504 00:24:36,120 --> 00:24:32,830 and so and even you know even 505 00:24:38,430 --> 00:24:36,130 the companionship of a horse who's 506 00:24:40,799 --> 00:24:38,440 ridden by a police officer right that 507 00:24:43,289 --> 00:24:40,809 becomes a very supportive relationship 508 00:24:45,180 --> 00:24:43,299 potentially for that officer yes yes 509 00:24:47,639 --> 00:24:45,190 indeed yeah there are all kinds of 510 00:24:49,620 --> 00:24:47,649 wonderful ways that we can honor their 511 00:24:53,340 --> 00:24:49,630 willingness to support us the way they 512 00:24:55,940 --> 00:24:53,350 do so beautifully and and and dogs as 513 00:25:00,500 --> 00:24:55,950 well like to feel as

late captain Haggerty he always felt as 517 00:25:10,799 --> 00:25:08,830 though he was a dog famous dog trainer 518 00:25:13,529 --> 00:25:10,809 in the New York area and with theater 519 00:25:15,810 --> 00:25:13,539 and so forth and he felt dogs most of 520 00:25:18,180 --> 00:25:15,820 the dogs that he had always wanted to 521 00:25:20,909 --> 00:25:18,190 work wanted to have a job wanted to be 522 00:25:23,129 --> 00:25:20,919 told what to do particularly the German 523 00:25:25,049 --> 00:25:23,139 Shepherds which he worked with they were 524 00:25:27,149 --> 00:25:25,059 always guarding things and they wanted 525 00:25:29,669 --> 00:25:27,159 to be told sit over there and if 526 00:25:32,879 --> 00:25:29,679 somebody comes bark and then run down 527 00:25:35,039 -->

00:25:41,820 --> 00:25:40,000 when they did it um there are some 531 00:25:43,799 --> 00:25:41,830 muches though in the dog world there are 532 00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:43,809 muches in the dog let me

about your communication 536 00:25:58,379 --> 00:25:56,169 with the horses as opposed to and I have 537 00:26:01,200 --> 00:25:58,389 done you know some professional work 538 00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:01,210 with cats as a you know a cat 539 00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:03,730 communicator with other people's cats 540 00:26:10,610 --> 00:26:06,970 besides my own and I I get some very 541 00:26:13,889 --> 00:26:10,620 interesting feedback from them and 542 00:26:16,620 --> 00:26:13,899 finding out about their life and and 11 543 00:26:19,740 --> 00:26:16,630 cat in particular the family was going 544 00:26:23,340 --> 00:26:19,750 to move to California and the cat told 545 00:26:26,549 --> 00:26:23,350 me he in no way wanted to go please tell 546 00:26:29,340 --> 00:26:26,559 them I do not want to go and I told the 547 00:26:31,529 --> 00:26:29,350 family he did not want to go but they 548 00:26:34,860 --> 00:26:31,539 were determined to move to California 549 00:26:37,470 --> 00:26:34,870 I'm determined to take the cat well the 550 00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:37,480 second day they were out there he got 551 00:26:42,120 --> 00:26:39,970 out the door and he was immediately run 552 00:26:44,730 --> 00:26:42,130 over and killed oh great so that was 553 00:26:46,740 --> 00:26:44,740 that not a happy ending but that was not 554 00:26:51,870 --> 00:26:46,750 my point my point 555 00:26:54,750 --> 00:26:51,880 my question to you has to do with in my 556 00:26:57,990 --> 00:26:54,760 communication with cats and a few other 557 00:27:01,320 --> 00:26:58,000 animals they will tell me what they want 558 00:27:03,750 --> 00:27:01,330 to eat or what's going wrong or things 559 00:27:07,650 --> 00:27:03,760 of that nature who they like best and 560 00:27:11,550 --> 00:27:07,660 things directly about them but with the 561 00:27:15,660 --> 00:27:11,560 horses you seem to get other stuff such 562 00:27:19,650 --> 00:27:15,670 as like you know more global concerns 563 00:27:23,970 --> 00:27:19,660 which of thus far I have not received 564 00:27:31,020 --> 00:27:23,980 that form of communication from anything 565 00:27:33,270 --> 00:27:31,030 but the trees mmm yes so I would um want 566 00:27:37,410 --> 00:27:33,280 to explain that beauty is an unusual 567 00:27:39,710 --> 00:27:37,420 horse in that way and so most of the 568 00:27:44,660 --> 00:27:39,720 horses I've communicated with are 569 00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:44,670 talking about ailments emotional issues 570 00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:47,770 people that are long no longer in their 571 00:27:52,010 --> 00:27:49,330 lives or horses they've been separated 572 00:27:54,390 --> 00:27:52,020 from very practical rather mundane 573 00:27:57,540 --> 00:27:54,400 things that are helpful for their own 574 00:28:02,040 --> 00:27:57,550 lives that's ninety-five percent of it 575 00:28:04,380 --> 00:28:02,050 ring it's a rare horse beauty and then a 576 00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:04,390 horse named police here in Virginia and 577 00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:06,610 then 10 the stallion who had to chime in 578 00:28:14,670 --> 00:28:11,290 when you were beauty talking our arm are 579 00:28:18,150 --> 00:28:14,680 they are working with people who come 580 00:28:20,130 --> 00:28:18,160 for therapeutic support or who don't 581 00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:20,140 realize that they come for that in their 582 00:28:24,540 --> 00:28:22,450 lives change as a result of being having 583 00:28:27,990 --> 00:28:24,550 encounters with these voices in the 584 00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:28,000 opponent program so beauty is seeing 585 00:28:33,360 --> 00:28:31,450 people on a very different level she's 586 00:28:35,460 --> 00:28:33,370 engaging people in her daily work 587 00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:35,470 supporting children with various 588 00:28:41,250 --> 00:28:38,050 disorders and ailments and and and and 589 00:28:43,020 --> 00:28:41,260 struggles supporting people who are just 590 00:28:44,910 --> 00:28:43,030 stressed out emotionally broken and 591 00:28:47,010 --> 00:28:44,920 she's taking it in and observing and 592 00:28:50,070 --> 00:28:47,020 thinking about it and that's what's so 593 00:28:51,870 --> 00:28:50,080 extraordinary yes of us assume that 594 00:28:53,730 --> 00:28:51,880 because they're animals they don't have 595 00:28:55,740 --> 00:28:53,740 this capacity that all they're going to 596 00:28:58,140 --> 00:28:55,750 be concerned about are their basic 597 00:28:58,830 --> 00:28:58,150 fundamental needs and desires right 598 00:29:01,500 --> 00:28:58,840 eating 599 00:29:06,270 --> 00:29:01,510 getting outside and sweeping etc and 600 00:29:08,670 --> 00:29:06,280 that's why I feel like I really do need 601 00:29:11,070 --> 00:29:08,680 to talk about this because what I've 602 00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:11,080 learned is that at least in the case of 603 00:29:15,780 --> 00:29:13,450 these animals and I think it's probably 604 00:29:19,250 --> 00:29:15,790 true with others perhaps elephants and 605 00:29:22,190 --> 00:29:19,260 maybe dolphins some of them are 606 00:29:25,260 --> 00:29:22,200 processing and thinking and considering 607 00:29:28,380 --> 00:29:25,270 larger issues than themselves and beauty 608 00:29:31,590 --> 00:29:28,390 is absolutely concerned about humanity's 609 00:29:33,090 --> 00:29:31,600 survival hmmm well just like people I 610 00:29:34,950 --> 00:29:33,100 mean there are some people that are just 611 00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:34,960 very mundane and people who really are 612 00:29:40,410 --> 00:29:37,210 deep thinkers and try to help the rest 613 00:29:43,290 --> 00:29:40,420 of us like my students range that way 614 00:29:45,540 --> 00:29:43,300 yeah you know what interest me too is 615 00:29:48,750 --> 00:29:45,550 that you obviously communicate with 616 00:29:51,900 --> 00:29:48,760 horses and your sister with dogs um some 617 00:29:54,060 --> 00:29:51,910 of the native peoples would you fill me 618 00:29:57,210 --> 00:29:54,070 in on this term Farrugia adopt certain 619 00:30:00,380 --> 00:29:57,220 animals is like which is how to math 620 00:30:02,700 --> 00:30:00,390 yeah a totem animal thank you uh I 621 00:30:04,590 --> 00:30:02,710 wonder if that hasn't been true 622 00:30:07,890 --> 00:30:04,600 throughout history that some people 623 00:30:10,620 --> 00:30:07,900 really did have the ability to not adopt 624 00:30:12,930 --> 00:30:10,630 but really communicate become one with 625 00:30:16,100 --> 00:30:12,940 another animal with another species that 626 00:30:20,220 --> 00:30:16,110 certainly has been a very prominent in 627 00:30:22,260 --> 00:30:20,230 the Native American yo cultures you know 628 00:30:25,380 --> 00:30:22,270 various cultures whether it be north or 629 00:30:27,300 --> 00:30:25,390 south american cultures i mean the 630 00:30:31,050 --> 00:30:27,310 people down in south america have a 631 00:30:32,730 --> 00:30:31,060 close relationship with the Condor and 632 00:30:34,530 --> 00:30:32,740 even on the cave drawings they didn't 633 00:30:37,380 --> 00:30:34,540 draw each other they drew animals that's 634 00:30:39,350 --> 00:30:37,390 right and uh other any other people in 635 00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:39,360 your family that also have this ability 636 00:30:45,030 --> 00:30:42,850 not that I'm familiar with and I don't 637 00:30:47,670 --> 00:30:45,040 know that my sister would claim to be a 638 00:30:50,460 --> 00:30:47,680 dog communicator but she certainly is so 639 00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:50,470 very connected to them yeah is deeply 640 00:30:56,400 --> 00:30:53,890 right like Mia she does she does on some 641 00:31:00,480 --> 00:30:56,410 level I'm sure she does probably so she 642 00:31:04,490 --> 00:31:00,490 would some I once was on it on a walk in 643 00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:04,500 the country of Belize and the tour guide 644 00:31:09,750 --> 00:31:07,690 clearly he grew up he said he grew up as 645 00:31:12,570 --> 00:31:09,760 a boy playing in the jungle by himself 646 00:31:15,509 --> 00:31:12,580 and he 647 00:31:21,029 --> 00:31:15,519 I was tuned into all of it yeah all of 648 00:31:23,940 --> 00:31:21,039 it the birds the trees the whole life 649 00:31:27,180 --> 00:31:23,950 force of that forest was he was a tomb 650 00:31:32,159 --> 00:31:27,190 too and i think i want to believe that 651 00:31:35,399 --> 00:31:32,169 it has been innate in human beings since 652 00:31:40,019 --> 00:31:35,409 our you know early beginnings but that 653 00:31:42,450 --> 00:31:40,029 over time as we have developed as more 654 00:31:44,370 --> 00:31:42,460 Agraria and technological we've 655 00:31:46,769 --> 00:31:44,380 developed other parts of our brain and 656 00:31:49,620 --> 00:31:46,779 moved away from those sensing capacities 657 00:31:51,450 --> 00:31:49,630 that that would be my hunch I think 658 00:31:54,180 --> 00:31:51,460 you're right I don't agree just about 659 00:31:56,610 --> 00:31:54,190 Native Americans or the people living in 660 00:31:59,279 --> 00:31:56,620 in the Amazon it's actually about the 661 00:32:01,230 --> 00:31:59,289 human being and how we've developed our 662 00:32:04,350 --> 00:32:01,240 cultures in our societies and our 663 00:32:06,810 --> 00:32:04,360 tendencies and that's my guest right 664 00:32:09,570 --> 00:32:06,820 because you had the Druids you know 665 00:32:11,970 --> 00:32:09,580 right over they were in Ireland Scotland 666 00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:11,980 area who were very connected to the 667 00:32:18,570 --> 00:32:15,250 earth force and the ended and the Divine 668 00:32:21,450 --> 00:32:18,580 Mother practices and I think that it's 669 00:32:25,500 --> 00:32:21,460 just more about modernization of society 670 00:32:27,750 --> 00:32:25,510 the rapid movement of information are 671 00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:27,760 high dependence on technologies that 672 00:32:33,860 --> 00:32:30,450 have shifted our perceptions and our 673 00:32:36,090 --> 00:32:33,870 capacities for such communication I 674 00:32:40,350 --> 00:32:36,100 agree with you a hundred percent well I 675 00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:40,360 think that you are right especially in 676 00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:42,010 some of the things that you have written 677 00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:45,250 about basically the earth being alive 678 00:32:52,259 --> 00:32:49,330 and we're all part of it and as we move 679 00:32:56,820 --> 00:32:52,269 away from the awareness of the living 680 00:33:00,210 --> 00:32:56,830 Earth you know we get closer to the to 681 00:33:03,419 --> 00:33:00,220 our own annihilation and unfortunately 682 00:33:05,820 --> 00:33:03,429 as we get closer to it I think that as 683 00:33:07,289 --> 00:33:05,830 helpful as the horses and the Dolphins 684 00:33:10,409 --> 00:33:07,299 maybe there's a certain amount of 685 00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:10,419 self-interest there because basically 686 00:33:16,909 --> 00:33:13,210 all mammals may go the way of the dodo 687 00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:16,919 bird if we do know why do you say that 688 00:33:21,450 --> 00:33:19,570 well it probably what are you thinking 689 00:33:23,639 --> 00:33:21,460 nuclear Wars no I mean does nuclear 690 00:33:26,670 --> 00:33:23,649 meltdown is one thing i don't i'm not or 691 00:33:29,070 --> 00:33:26,680 just ruining me the ecology 692 00:33:31,860 --> 00:33:29,080 of which could be wrong you seeing that 693 00:33:34,770 --> 00:33:31,870 already with a lot of species yes but 694 00:33:37,470 --> 00:33:34,780 some of it can be ruined with the 695 00:33:40,650 --> 00:33:37,480 nuclear materials as we seen in 696 00:33:43,500 --> 00:33:40,660 Fukushima and places melting down eat 697 00:33:45,930 --> 00:33:43,510 right here in the United States not so 698 00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:45,940 far away from where we are what is it 699 00:33:51,810 --> 00:33:48,850 over here the Oh Indian Point indian 700 00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:51,820 point there so they do this into is all 701 00:33:55,980 --> 00:33:53,530 mammals have made a carbon hydrogen 702 00:33:58,950 --> 00:33:55,990 oxygen some of their little atoms and 703 00:34:01,140 --> 00:33:58,960 the more that once pc sucks it all up 704 00:34:03,180 --> 00:34:01,150 it's less for the others so that's true 705 00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:03,190 and it's just matter on the elephants 706 00:34:08,100 --> 00:34:05,890 right now the said I'd I can't go there 707 00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:08,110 is no it's just not on to sad you know 708 00:34:12,630 --> 00:34:10,090 you mentioned before like communicating 709 00:34:14,970 --> 00:34:12,640 with animals I mean the people that work 710 00:34:16,860 --> 00:34:14,980 with elephants really know they 711 00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:16,870 absolutely communicate with some 712 00:34:22,680 --> 00:34:20,050 constant absolutely absent and oh yeah I 713 00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:22,690 there's a woman whose name is jami 714 00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:26,290 sieber and she played music for my 715 00:34:32,370 --> 00:34:29,610 wedding two years ago and Jamie actually 716 00:34:35,550 --> 00:34:32,380 has a recording that she's made with 717 00:34:39,030 --> 00:34:35,560 elephants accompanying her she's a she's 718 00:34:41,340 --> 00:34:39,040 a cellist and oh it's haunting they pick 719 00:34:44,250 --> 00:34:41,350 up these bamboo sticks and bells and 720 00:34:46,170 --> 00:34:44,260 play while she's playing and Wow touches 721 00:34:48,450 --> 00:34:46,180 my heart so deeply because the animals 722 00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:48,460 are truly connecting with her through 723 00:34:54,300 --> 00:34:51,490 the music and I think that you're right 724 00:34:57,630 --> 00:34:54,310 that mammals are as much threatened as 725 00:35:00,900 --> 00:34:57,640 Oh other mammals as we are but I'll tell 726 00:35:04,950 --> 00:35:00,910 you what we'll survive no matter what we 727 00:35:08,460 --> 00:35:04,960 do would be the plants they are yep 728 00:35:10,950 --> 00:35:08,470 they're the ones that have adapted so so 729 00:35:12,810 --> 00:35:10,960 so much sophistication through these 730 00:35:16,850 --> 00:35:12,820 billions of years and they will they 731 00:35:20,460 --> 00:35:16,860 will be fine had you read anything about 732 00:35:25,110 --> 00:35:20,470 how squids are getting larger and larger 733 00:35:28,380 --> 00:35:25,120 and how how intelligent squids are the 734 00:35:31,740 --> 00:35:28,390 cephalopods and how a psychic they are 735 00:35:34,860 --> 00:35:31,750 and how they're they don't have a 736 00:35:36,930 --> 00:35:34,870 central brain but of their whole body is 737 00:35:39,570 --> 00:35:36,940 like a nervous system with a 738 00:35:40,620 --> 00:35:39,580 consciousness and how they're getting 739 00:35:42,180 --> 00:35:40,630 much just much 740 00:35:46,170 --> 00:35:42,190 much bigger and bigger in our oceans 741 00:35:48,720 --> 00:35:46,180 have you card there is their size it's 742 00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:48,730 the growth in their size relative to the 743 00:35:52,470 --> 00:35:50,290 growth in their intelligence is that 744 00:35:54,750 --> 00:35:52,480 what's being suggested or is it III 745 00:36:00,030 --> 00:35:54,760 don't know that but there are there are 746 00:36:04,470 --> 00:36:00,040 two things that uh cephalopods of octopi 747 00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:04,480 other smart and devils and squids have 748 00:36:12,210 --> 00:36:06,970 been seen to be very psychic and 749 00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:12,220 extremely smart and this in spite of the 750 00:36:17,910 --> 00:36:15,370 fact that they do not have a brain in 751 00:36:20,580 --> 00:36:17,920 the sense that mammals have brains 752 00:36:22,890 --> 00:36:20,590 inside their heads their brain or 753 00:36:25,500 --> 00:36:22,900 nervous system is throughout their body 754 00:36:30,200 --> 00:36:25,510 now concurrent to that though I don't 755 00:36:33,720 --> 00:36:30,210 know if it's entirely related 756 00:36:37,140 --> 00:36:33,730 oceanographers and biologists of the 757 00:36:39,710 --> 00:36:37,150 ocean have discovered that these squids 758 00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:39,720 appear to be getting larger and larger 759 00:36:45,660 --> 00:36:43,210 and maybe taking over the oceans and I 760 00:36:48,030 --> 00:36:45,670 say they hope they do a better job of it 761 00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:48,040 than the humans have I'd be a little 762 00:36:52,110 --> 00:36:49,930 concerned about whether there that's 763 00:36:55,050 --> 00:36:52,120 going to cause an imbalance in the other 764 00:36:58,860 --> 00:36:55,060 ocean life I probably like to read up on 765 00:37:01,440 --> 00:36:58,870 that and see what they're thinking you 766 00:37:04,380 --> 00:37:01,450 know any one species that dominates can 767 00:37:06,420 --> 00:37:04,390 throw everything off kilter well sort of 768 00:37:08,880 --> 00:37:06,430 like humans you mean yeah yeah like you 769 00:37:12,030 --> 00:37:08,890 oh yeah that's a great example isn't it 770 00:37:13,710 --> 00:37:12,040 Oh perfect nine billion and growing it 771 00:37:15,630 --> 00:37:13,720 always gets me in this area where they 772 00:37:18,170 --> 00:37:15,640 say we have to control the keys we have 773 00:37:20,550 --> 00:37:18,180 to control the deer population well yeah 774 00:37:22,170 --> 00:37:20,560 because well why would we have to do 775 00:37:23,990 --> 00:37:22,180 that well because they kill off their 776 00:37:26,970 --> 00:37:24,000 surroundings if there's too many of them 777 00:37:28,290 --> 00:37:26,980 okay so like any species it kills off 778 00:37:30,180 --> 00:37:28,300 their surroundings because there's too 779 00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:30,190 many of them should have population 780 00:37:35,820 --> 00:37:32,770 control right well well what about 781 00:37:39,420 --> 00:37:35,830 people oh no no got to be voluntary know 782 00:37:41,850 --> 00:37:39,430 it happen it does it well unfortunately 783 00:37:43,980 --> 00:37:41,860 mother nature will take care of it if we 784 00:37:46,680 --> 00:37:43,990 had any heard that gets to be too big 785 00:37:49,200 --> 00:37:46,690 all mom nature comes in and calls it and 786 00:37:52,830 --> 00:37:49,210 you see now you see the rise of all 787 00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:52,840 these various viruses Zika virus AIDS TB 788 00:37:56,960 --> 00:37:53,970 Zaun their eyes 789 00:38:00,020 --> 00:37:56,970 but measles mumps all these things that 790 00:38:03,050 --> 00:38:00,030 in the 50s look what happened came out 791 00:38:06,050 --> 00:38:03,060 with this new as one md got on about 792 00:38:08,150 --> 00:38:06,060 other is finally an antibiotic or rather 793 00:38:10,820 --> 00:38:08,160 bacteria that does it respond to any 794 00:38:13,849 --> 00:38:10,830 antibiotic what's of our and it's pretty 795 00:38:17,060 --> 00:38:13,859 prevalent in the environment oh boy Oh 796 00:38:19,339 --> 00:38:17,070 way better than that you know well we've 797 00:38:22,670 --> 00:38:19,349 gone a little bit far afield here oh I'm 798 00:38:25,550 --> 00:38:22,680 sorry no no no no that's okay okay no no 799 00:38:27,500 --> 00:38:25,560 no guilty dr. Byrne is also bioethicists 800 00:38:29,990 --> 00:38:27,510 oh that's right I think this is of a 801 00:38:33,320 --> 00:38:30,000 very real concern for yes yes so we have 802 00:38:35,330 --> 00:38:33,330 the ethics of of cloning humans or 803 00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:35,340 cloning dogs as people have done 804 00:38:39,920 --> 00:38:37,770 apparently already yes and they are able 805 00:38:44,359 --> 00:38:39,930 to get their clone doggies from China or 806 00:38:46,310 --> 00:38:44,369 something so oh well so you haven't gone 807 00:38:49,910 --> 00:38:46,320 that far afield actually because you're 808 00:38:53,170 --> 00:38:49,920 talking about mother nature I think you 809 00:38:55,820 --> 00:38:53,180 used the term sort of responding to our 810 00:38:58,220 --> 00:38:55,830 population overgrowth this is what 811 00:39:00,410 --> 00:38:58,230 beauty was talking about really yeah 812 00:39:03,589 --> 00:39:00,420 really looks after what she was talking 813 00:39:06,470 --> 00:39:03,599 about she said that she said that the 814 00:39:09,260 --> 00:39:06,480 earth is in a process of rejecting the 815 00:39:11,240 --> 00:39:09,270 human species because it's thrown off 816 00:39:14,200 --> 00:39:11,250 the homeostasis the balance that are 817 00:39:16,849 --> 00:39:14,210 visible to maintain and that we are 818 00:39:18,260 --> 00:39:16,859 running out of time although it she said 819 00:39:21,470 --> 00:39:18,270 it's not too late because we are a 820 00:39:25,280 --> 00:39:21,480 beloved species it's in the process of 821 00:39:27,349 --> 00:39:25,290 bringing it back into balance so we have 822 00:39:30,650 --> 00:39:27,359 some choices to make but we have to make 823 00:39:33,680 --> 00:39:30,660 them soon yes what do you think the odds 824 00:39:35,300 --> 00:39:33,690 of that happening are of our making 825 00:39:39,230 --> 00:39:35,310 healthy choices to bring him back into 826 00:39:43,390 --> 00:39:39,240 balance I think it would take some kind 827 00:39:45,740 --> 00:39:43,400 of cataclysmic event to wake us up yeah 828 00:39:47,780 --> 00:39:45,750 or the ice is messy we're very 829 00:39:49,720 --> 00:39:47,790 self-absorbed and we are really 830 00:39:53,120 --> 00:39:49,730 comfortable with the way we're living 831 00:39:56,660 --> 00:39:53,130 materialistic I beyond the materialism I 832 00:40:00,109 --> 00:39:56,670 think that as long as people can't be 833 00:40:04,170 --> 00:40:00,119 humane to one another and they can't be 834 00:40:08,819 --> 00:40:04,180 humane to men can't be humane to women 835 00:40:12,270 --> 00:40:08,829 and or to each other or each other or to 836 00:40:15,870 --> 00:40:12,280 their companion animals I mean it's just 837 00:40:18,630 --> 00:40:15,880 what can be expected I'm not sure my 838 00:40:22,500 --> 00:40:18,640 worry is about the the methane release 839 00:40:25,470 --> 00:40:22,510 in which case all species go down that 840 00:40:29,040 --> 00:40:25,480 that's all due to the cows you know that 841 00:40:31,530 --> 00:40:29,050 no flatula oh yeah oh hell yeah yeah you 842 00:40:32,910 --> 00:40:31,540 know how much methane a cow produces I 843 00:40:35,370 --> 00:40:32,920 thought it was and then you got 844 00:40:38,099 --> 00:40:35,380 mcdonalds pushing out cos it not wow 845 00:40:40,650 --> 00:40:38,109 that too but melting the mounting calls 846 00:40:43,799 --> 00:40:40,660 no McDonald's has what gazillion burgers 847 00:40:46,349 --> 00:40:43,809 being serviced I mean how many cows bit 848 00:40:48,540 --> 00:40:46,359 the dust on that one and they all have 849 00:40:51,180 --> 00:40:48,550 been eating crane and they've all been 850 00:40:52,559 --> 00:40:51,190 producing methane as a result of it they 851 00:40:54,089 --> 00:40:52,569 should be eating ground don't light a 852 00:40:56,730 --> 00:40:54,099 match in a cowboy and let me tell you 853 00:40:59,400 --> 00:40:56,740 I'm not going to I'm not Manning no I'm 854 00:41:01,710 --> 00:40:59,410 not joking don't but you know I'm sorry 855 00:41:03,630 --> 00:41:01,720 that really is a field but uh it's yet 856 00:41:06,089 --> 00:41:03,640 you know it's a shame but I think there 857 00:41:08,010 --> 00:41:06,099 may be a glimmer of hope for example we 858 00:41:10,140 --> 00:41:08,020 were talking before the show about that 859 00:41:12,720 --> 00:41:10,150 horrible incident with the gorilla in 860 00:41:15,420 --> 00:41:12,730 the Cincinnati Zoo right and people are 861 00:41:19,859 --> 00:41:15,430 outraged that the gorilla was killed to 862 00:41:21,690 --> 00:41:19,869 save a child or potentially save a child 863 00:41:23,569 --> 00:41:21,700 well the gorilla certainly wasn't 864 00:41:25,829 --> 00:41:23,579 threatening it would do I think 865 00:41:27,539 --> 00:41:25,839 intentionally the gorilla would not have 866 00:41:29,819 --> 00:41:27,549 harm the child but just that they're so 867 00:41:34,400 --> 00:41:29,829 very strong yeah might have harmed it 868 00:41:37,819 --> 00:41:34,410 unintentionally yes so where does the 869 00:41:41,370 --> 00:41:37,829 bioethics fall in that category um 870 00:41:47,210 --> 00:41:41,380 Rosalyn well it's just a tragedy isn't 871 00:41:54,720 --> 00:41:50,490 so with bioethics there are choices that 872 00:41:57,120 --> 00:41:54,730 we have to make to do the right thing 873 00:42:00,210 --> 00:41:57,130 and we have to sort out what that means 874 00:42:02,339 --> 00:42:00,220 and one way of thinking through that is 875 00:42:04,140 --> 00:42:02,349 what's the greatest good for the many I 876 00:42:06,690 --> 00:42:04,150 mean that's one way of thinking about it 877 00:42:08,609 --> 00:42:06,700 and then there are some absolutes like 878 00:42:11,190 --> 00:42:08,619 we don't kill for example would be an 879 00:42:13,049 --> 00:42:11,200 absolute I think this is a tragic 880 00:42:16,529 --> 00:42:13,059 situation because a decision had to be 881 00:42:20,759 --> 00:42:16,539 made very quickly yes and we 882 00:42:23,279 --> 00:42:20,769 and two we tend to want to protect human 883 00:42:26,669 --> 00:42:23,289 life over animal life if we have to make 884 00:42:29,400 --> 00:42:26,679 a choice that's that's always yes so the 885 00:42:33,029 --> 00:42:29,410 question is you know did they use their 886 00:42:35,159 --> 00:42:33,039 best judgment to protect that child and 887 00:42:37,409 --> 00:42:35,169 without having been there and I'm not 888 00:42:41,130 --> 00:42:37,419 going to rely on the popular press it's 889 00:42:42,509 --> 00:42:41,140 hard to know yes um whether they did the 890 00:42:44,849 --> 00:42:42,519 best that they knew how to do but I 891 00:42:47,069 --> 00:42:44,859 always like to presume that for people 892 00:42:49,919 --> 00:42:47,079 and just have to call this a tragedy 893 00:42:52,140 --> 00:42:49,929 that yes yes well the zoo people 894 00:42:54,239 --> 00:42:52,150 themselves were hardly happy about it 895 00:42:56,489 --> 00:42:54,249 they were very upset themselves are they 896 00:42:59,549 --> 00:42:56,499 felt it a tranquilizer would have taken 897 00:43:01,380 --> 00:42:59,559 too long to have you know the child 898 00:43:03,779 --> 00:43:01,390 would have still been endangered and and 899 00:43:06,029 --> 00:43:03,789 sometimes tranquilizers have a 900 00:43:09,959 --> 00:43:06,039 paradoxical effect and it could have 901 00:43:12,479 --> 00:43:09,969 enraged the gorilla and then he would 902 00:43:14,279 --> 00:43:12,489 have done harm so I think they to save 903 00:43:16,079 --> 00:43:14,289 the child they really had no choice but 904 00:43:18,449 --> 00:43:16,089 to kill the gorilla it's it's just a 905 00:43:20,219 --> 00:43:18,459 shame that the parents worried but I 906 00:43:22,079 --> 00:43:20,229 mean that's you know how many gorillas 907 00:43:25,499 --> 00:43:22,089 still exists though in fact of these 908 00:43:27,079 --> 00:43:25,509 bills or bad that's it is very many of 909 00:43:29,669 --> 00:43:27,089 them left now i'm not saying to 910 00:43:32,969 --> 00:43:29,679 sacrifice start sacrificing children by 911 00:43:35,909 --> 00:43:32,979 any means but there is that thought it's 912 00:43:39,499 --> 00:43:35,919 sort of like these are an endangered 913 00:43:44,729 --> 00:43:39,509 species and he was such a marvelous 914 00:43:47,279 --> 00:43:44,739 example of gorillas pulchritude yeah 915 00:43:49,649 --> 00:43:47,289 well you know it I put it I put the 916 00:43:51,329 --> 00:43:49,659 blame at the feet of the mother I mean 917 00:43:54,390 --> 00:43:51,339 you know if you take a three-year-old 918 00:43:57,479 --> 00:43:54,400 child to a gorilla enclosure I would 919 00:43:59,519 --> 00:43:57,489 assume you would watch the child you 920 00:44:02,880 --> 00:43:59,529 think yeah they're suing the zoo of 921 00:44:05,609 --> 00:44:02,890 course oh well but anyway so there's so 922 00:44:09,589 --> 00:44:05,619 much for bioethics in that so tell us a 923 00:44:14,640 --> 00:44:09,599 little bit more about Raven and your 924 00:44:16,919 --> 00:44:14,650 communications with Raven well um we're 925 00:44:20,370 --> 00:44:16,929 just it's interesting because I am 926 00:44:23,699 --> 00:44:20,380 responsible for her as her steward and I 927 00:44:26,159 --> 00:44:23,709 have not engaged her in the same way I 928 00:44:28,349 --> 00:44:26,169 have forces of my clients where I can 929 00:44:30,390 --> 00:44:28,359 walk in the door go into a meditative 930 00:44:33,359 --> 00:44:30,400 state listen to them 931 00:44:39,420 --> 00:44:33,369 wish them well and go home with Raven I 932 00:44:42,150 --> 00:44:39,430 am I am I am learning to be brave she's 933 00:44:45,269 --> 00:44:42,160 a big animal to go out into the field 934 00:44:49,529 --> 00:44:45,279 and be with her and take care of her and 935 00:44:53,400 --> 00:44:49,539 I am having to Center in and check in 936 00:44:55,710 --> 00:44:53,410 and be mindful so that I can listen to 937 00:44:58,200 --> 00:44:55,720 her but it's it's a process it's a it's 938 00:45:00,480 --> 00:44:58,210 a process because I'm also thinking is 939 00:45:01,859 --> 00:45:00,490 she going to step on me and my safe am i 940 00:45:04,319 --> 00:45:01,869 doing the right thing did they put the 941 00:45:07,380 --> 00:45:04,329 bridle on wrong you know did I hurt her 942 00:45:09,029 --> 00:45:07,390 so I'm not there yet at the level of 943 00:45:11,670 --> 00:45:09,039 communication that we had when we first 944 00:45:13,200 --> 00:45:11,680 met because I'm carrying this sense of 945 00:45:15,839 --> 00:45:13,210 responsibility and a little bit of 946 00:45:18,510 --> 00:45:15,849 anxiety in being so new to the whole 947 00:45:21,450 --> 00:45:18,520 thing so you were not raised with horses 948 00:45:25,650 --> 00:45:21,460 and no I went to summer camp once when I 949 00:45:30,109 --> 00:45:25,660 was a few weeks only the horses that 950 00:45:33,569 --> 00:45:30,119 were downtown Philly right I understand 951 00:45:36,329 --> 00:45:33,579 Khmer and your girl they are big animals 952 00:45:37,859 --> 00:45:36,339 yes they really are and yeah and they 953 00:45:40,769 --> 00:45:37,869 can't hurt you without meaning to 954 00:45:42,539 --> 00:45:40,779 certainly if and those are and I and I 955 00:45:44,609 --> 00:45:42,549 was still so taken with them I even 956 00:45:46,880 --> 00:45:44,619 remember the child staring in the 957 00:45:50,160 --> 00:45:46,890 stables at fairmont park at these 958 00:45:53,069 --> 00:45:50,170 magnificent animals and holly so drawn 959 00:45:54,450 --> 00:45:53,079 to them I went up to a horse and at you 960 00:45:57,059 --> 00:45:54,460 know central park south where they line 961 00:45:58,620 --> 00:45:57,069 up the horses yes no research and one 962 00:46:00,120 --> 00:45:58,630 was standing on the corner there of 963 00:46:02,339 --> 00:46:00,130 central park south and fifth I think 964 00:46:04,740 --> 00:46:02,349 where it comes in with the helmsley is I 965 00:46:07,200 --> 00:46:04,750 asked the caregiver if I could talk to 966 00:46:08,970 --> 00:46:07,210 his horse it haha my caregiver was 967 00:46:10,470 --> 00:46:08,980 checked out to right it means like I 968 00:46:11,549 --> 00:46:10,480 just want to get people riding and I 969 00:46:13,710 --> 00:46:11,559 went up and of course who was behind 970 00:46:16,260 --> 00:46:13,720 blinders I put blinders on their eyes 971 00:46:18,809 --> 00:46:16,270 yes they do horrid because of course a 972 00:46:21,359 --> 00:46:18,819 horse is only comfortable knowing it's 973 00:46:24,150 --> 00:46:21,369 safe it was vision and a horse can see 974 00:46:27,029 --> 00:46:24,160 almost back to its tail but with 975 00:46:30,329 --> 00:46:27,039 blinders it shuts down much of its 976 00:46:32,279 --> 00:46:30,339 sentencing capacity anyway I I felt 977 00:46:33,900 --> 00:46:32,289 nothing I found nothing I couldn't 978 00:46:36,359 --> 00:46:33,910 connect it's like the horse wasn't there 979 00:46:39,630 --> 00:46:36,369 he just said they're not just broken 980 00:46:42,960 --> 00:46:39,640 Raven on the other hand is full of life 981 00:46:45,230 --> 00:46:42,970 and we went for a walk the other day 982 00:46:48,330 --> 00:46:45,240 I did not realize that there were three 983 00:46:50,340 --> 00:46:48,340 geldings in a pasture up the end of the 984 00:46:52,410 --> 00:46:50,350 trail and they got one look at her and 985 00:46:54,210 --> 00:46:52,420 they're huge they're just huge mm-hmm 986 00:46:55,770 --> 00:46:54,220 they were actually sent down from New 987 00:46:59,910 --> 00:46:55,780 York that the border calls on the New 988 00:47:02,640 --> 00:46:59,920 Yorkers it's 30 I think they saw her 989 00:47:06,560 --> 00:47:02,650 they came running galloping across the 990 00:47:10,380 --> 00:47:06,570 pirate pastor in unison and she bolted 991 00:47:12,840 --> 00:47:10,390 Dalton I'm so scary I'm so I'm but I was 992 00:47:15,030 --> 00:47:12,850 hoping I had her on the lead chain and i 993 00:47:19,080 --> 00:47:15,040 luckily had never wrap it around your 994 00:47:21,950 --> 00:47:19,090 hand oh okay and so I'm learning step by 995 00:47:24,900 --> 00:47:21,960 step what to do and how to take care 996 00:47:27,000 --> 00:47:24,910 which is making

00:48:41,110 don't mind to mention your books again 1027 00:48:46,050 --> 00:48:43,420 and your projects because we are we are 1028 00:48:49,230 --> 00:48:46,060 winding down to nearly a close here oh 1029 00:48:53,400 --> 00:48:49,240 that's too bad i could talk a lot look 1030 00:48:56,069 --> 00:48:53,410 but yeah but oh yeah please tell us all 1031 00:48:57,839 --> 00:48:56,079 about your books and the the horse book 1032 00:48:59,940 --> 00:48:57,849 is the subject of our conversation today 1033 00:49:02,339 --> 00:48:59,950 so I'll focus on those when the horses 1034 00:49:04,559 --> 00:49:02,349 whisper I wrote four years ago after 1035 00:49:06,660 --> 00:49:04,569 meeting Teton falling in the river and 1036 00:49:09,870 --> 00:49:06,670 other horses that live in costa rica and 1037 00:49:12,479 --> 00:49:09,880 work with these groups and so that's 1038 00:49:14,309 --> 00:49:12,489 been out and getting great responses 1039 00:49:17,670 --> 00:49:14,319 from people who have read it and then 1040 00:49:20,219 --> 00:49:17,680 waking to beauty came because beauty 1041 00:49:23,299 --> 00:49:20,229 came to me in a vision and asked me to 1042 00:49:25,049 --> 00:49:23,309 keep writing and so that book is more 1043 00:49:27,420 --> 00:49:25,059 autobiographical than the first one 1044 00:49:31,440 --> 00:49:27,430 because I was trying to sort of explain 1045 00:49:33,209 --> 00:49:31,450 to readers how it is that I'm in my life 1046 00:49:35,370 --> 00:49:33,219 come to a point where I can hear these 1047 00:49:37,440 --> 00:49:35,380 animals so it's trying to trace it back 1048 00:49:39,900 --> 00:49:37,450 to my early days when I was you know 1049 00:49:42,029 --> 00:49:39,910 less than two and talking to ghosts and 1050 00:49:44,459 --> 00:49:42,039 that kind of thing to suggest that maybe 1051 00:49:47,249 --> 00:49:44,469 there was something inside of me that 1052 00:49:49,380 --> 00:49:47,259 was ready to respond to these horses 1053 00:49:50,849 --> 00:49:49,390 when they began to talk and that just 1054 00:49:53,130 --> 00:49:50,859 came out two weeks ago we're having a 1055 00:49:55,829 --> 00:49:53,140 great book release party with some 1056 00:49:57,479 --> 00:49:55,839 bluegrass and folk singers and readings 1057 00:49:59,789 --> 00:49:57,489 down here in central Virginia which 1058 00:50:01,920 --> 00:49:59,799 should be a lot of fun that the next 1059 00:50:03,900 --> 00:50:01,930 year I'll come back to the equine Film 1060 00:50:05,759 --> 00:50:03,910 Festival in New York and go other parts 1061 00:50:08,069 --> 00:50:05,769 of the country to talk about this work 1062 00:50:12,269 --> 00:50:08,079 in the book I'm probably going to start 1063 00:50:14,719 --> 00:50:12,279 a not-for-profit company for these 1064 00:50:17,370 --> 00:50:14,729 writings to be shared with others and 1065 00:50:19,620 --> 00:50:17,380 find ways to get this message out across 1066 00:50:22,699 --> 00:50:19,630 the world that in fact these animals are 1067 00:50:26,069 --> 00:50:22,709 sentient aware conscience conscious and 1068 00:50:29,239 --> 00:50:26,079 very much devoted to supporting the 1069 00:50:32,160 --> 00:50:29,249 continued driving of human life on earth 1070 00:50:35,130 --> 00:50:32,170 so I'm feeling called to do this I'm 1071 00:50:38,160 --> 00:50:35,140 excited I'm continuing to be a professor 1072 00:50:40,650 --> 00:50:38,170 but this work is very much at the 1073 00:50:42,689 --> 00:50:40,660 forefront of my time and efforts these 1074 00:50:46,109 --> 00:50:42,699 days because it's very very deep hard 1075 00:50:49,199 --> 00:50:46,119 work well it's wonderful wonderful art 1076 00:50:51,870 --> 00:50:49,209 would if some of our listeners were 1077

1088 00:51:21,990 --> 00:51:20,380 intuition and our creativity and our 1089 00:51:25,350 --> 00:51:22,000 inner attunement awareness of our own 1090 00:51:30,030 --> 00:51:25,360 body as a sensing intelligent being that 1091 00:51:32,130 --> 00:51:30,040 we can tap into to learn from and so I'm 1092 00:51:35,160 --> 00:51:32,140 working on developing these seminars 1093 00:51:36,990 -->
