Intelligence, Intellect, and the Quiet Wisdom of Other Species

What if intelligence is not best measured by abstraction, language, or complexity of thought—but by presence, responsiveness, and right relationship with life? Drawing on decades of listening to animals and the natural world, this reflection explores the difference between intelligence and intellect, and how confusing the two has shaped human ideas of superiority, spirituality, and evolution. What emerges is a more honest, humbler view of intelligence as something shared—expressed differently, but no less fully—across species.

Beyond Hierarchies: A Lived Path Toward Unity with Life

We often compare humans and animals through narrow frameworks—intelligence, emotional capacity, self-awareness, or spiritual development—using hierarchies and models created by the human mind. While such systems can be illuminating, they can also distance us from a more direct, lived experience of truth.

In this reflective essay, I explore a different orientation: growth not as ascent, but as expansion into greater inclusion and unity with life. Drawing from decades of listening to animals, nature, and inner knowing, I share why I’m less interested in spiritual ladders and more devoted to felt presence, kindness, and communion with the living world.

When Beliefs Block Animal Communication & What Animals Reveal Beyond Them

In this article, I explore how beliefs can inhibit our ability to truly hear animals. You'll read remarkable examples of animals communicating about consciousness, choice, identity, and reincarnation. These experiences invite us to listen more deeply and to remain open to truths that may stretch our understanding of life itself.

A Dream, an Animal Message, and the Mystery of Shared Souls

What if reincarnation isn’t as simple as one soul, one body, one lifetime?

In this reflective essay, I share a powerful dream recounted by a student in my Animal Communication Certification Program, a dream in which animals taught her about a phenomenon they called
soul sharing. Her experience opened the door to memories of my own animal companions, including my beloved cat Chico San and to a lifelong understanding of how souls may merge, separate, and support one another across lifetimes.

Through animals, dreams, and lived experience, this story explores the malleability of souls, the concept of soul families, and the profound ways animals help us remember the deeper truths of existence.
