Clear communication or telepathy?

Carolyn made me smile with her message.
These are my comments.

Yes, Carolyn,

I am smiling. I am smiling because your message is a magnificent present for me. You write a few lines and these few lines put a smile on my face. Can life be better?

It is my opinion (and opinions are the cheapest commodity on this planet because we all have more than enough opinions about everything), so .....it is my opinion that we are all well-trained human beings.
But I make a difference between those who are conscious of the fact that we have been trained and many others who will strongly negate that we have been trained.
Don Miguel Ruiz calls this not "training" but the "domestication" of the human being.

If I know that what I am thinking or doing Now is the result of a training I got when I was a child, I become the observer of my own behaviour.
Then I can switch off the training program, come to the present moment, and start acting like the adult I am NOW. That moment I can take action or make decisions as a conscious human being and not as an unconscious domesticated child in an adult body.

Our dogs know this. They live in the present and can read our body language, feel our feelings-vibrations and read our minds in an amazing way.

I quote from your message:

But when he sits in front of me and stares at me, I know exactly what he wants - no water in my bowl, I need to go out, I am bored and want to play. If only he understood me as well!!

If you think your dog does not understand you well, go inside yourself. Get to know yourself. Look into your heart. Feel your feelings. Analyse and ask your self the question if you act and speak with clear communication.
It is my perception that clients who cannot communicate clearly, consistently and honestly with their dogs, cannot communicate clearly, consistently and honestly with other human beings and can certainly not communicate clearly and honestly with themselves.
These are the people who will say at the end of my first home call "I will call you". While they are saying it I can clearly read in their body language that they will NEVER call me.
When I am dealing with Spanish clients they will say things like "hablaremos". Translated it means "we will talk later" but I do know it really means "jamas hablaremos", meaning "we will never talk later".
These are the people you meet in the street, who love to talk about the weather. Before leaving they might say "You and your wife, you must come along to our place for drinks." When I then ask when, where and at what time they want us to show up on their doorstep, they will say they will call, something they never do.

These are a few examples of the superficial way we behave in many situations. Many times we simply pretend.

Our dogs never do this. They do not pretend, judge, blame or criticize. They never lie. That makes it so easy to understand them. At least for people who do not lie, pretend,judge, blame or criticize.....

LOVE

I agree - I go to the UK most months to see my mother. I never get my bag out of the cupboard until the last minute but Jack is restless all day. He settles down OK with John whilst I am away until the day I am coming home and then John says he is "like a cat on hot bricks". Several hours before it is time to go to the airport he starts whining and being a general nuisance until they get in the car to go and pick me up from the airport.

Now, whether you would call this telepathy or whether I am just a well trained human I don't know. But when he sits in front of me and stares at me, I know exactly what he wants - no water in my bowl, I need to go out, I am bored and want to play. If only he understood me as well!!

Hope the above makes you smile!
