Who Needs a Companion?

 Who needs a Companion? We all do. Humans are social animals. We subconsciously crave companionship. What we can't get from our fellow humans, we garner from our "pets". But, in reality, our "pets" are defined in terms of cats and dogs. It's hard to cuddle up to an iguana, a spider, or a snake. Humans domesticated dogs thousands of years ago. We did it by breeding dogs into a domesticity where they never grow up: they spend their entire life as dependent puppies . Dogs have been bred to instinctively understand that humans are, in general, their source of what they need to survive: shelter, food, and, yes, companionship. Dogs are also social animals, when "gone feral", they revert to type. They're still puppies, but they bond together in social packs. Cats, on the other hand, slide through our grasp, go through puberty and "matriculate" into full cathood. They are mature animals. As such, they are not as dependent on humans for surv...

What Makes Squirrels "Squirrely"?

 Have You Ever Merged with a Squirrel? Well, I did, and... It was a experience. I was immediately dizzy. It felt like my head was spinning. I had to pull back from the merge. once-in-a-lifetime  I had to sit down in a chair. After grounding myself and regaining my balance , I asked the squirrel what it had felt.

Perhaps squirrels and other animals live at a faster vibrational frequency than most humans, or at least than I do. Did you know that the speed at which something is shown to you can register in your mind without you "seeing" it with your eyes. If it's shown In this way, you can be "programmed." Sublim...

Let Not Adverse Critiques and Opinions Hinder Your Writing

 There are, as has always been, opinions expressed by every living soul who has received a viable brain through the process of birth, and, therefore, a mortal mind processed by that healthy brain. Even when the human body has been dispossessed of its faculties through injury or disease and has been totally unable to function, while the brain has remained untouched and unaffected by physical dysfunction, the human mind has continued to create every variety of thought, of love, hate, indifference, and, consequently, cognitive decisions based upon opinions predicated upon facts and emotional value judgments. Over a lifetime, the accumulated learning of a human being is indeterminate in terms of quantity and value. If a person seeks to acquire knowledge through continuously reading the written words of good books and studying the lessons of history, science, and philosophy that they contain, he will become able to write the expressions of his own mind with astute fineness.
