Dear Terri: The web addresss for the Yahoo group for animal communication is: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/animalcommunication/
I have not joined this group yet, but I think Lisa ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) has joined and Nina ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) said she had checked it out. I have enough trouble with my old computer just keeping up on the email for this talklist, so that is still on my Wannado list. Until I learn how to download and save email messages onto discs from my offline mailbox with AOHell, I don't dare join any more groups as my superslow Pentium I, Windows 95 would probabaly croak and freeze up completely instead of just being incredibly balky. I'm one of those for whom the black and yellow "Dummies" books were written where it comes to computers. I do hope you will give animal comunication a look-see. I have been amazed, and often amused, by what the furkids have to say to me. They don't usually mince words but give it to you straight from their feline point of view. And they really do appreciate that you care enough to give them a chance to express themselves without their having to resort to other less genteel tactics to get your attention. Some who do animal communication can recall having the ability as a young child and then "losing" it as they grew older and were socialized away from it by adults in their life who convinced them it was just their imagination, that animals could not really "talk" to people. In her book, "Wisdom of the Animals," Raphaela Pope says that we all have this innate ability to communicate thoughts buried within our consciousness, if we but make a concerted effort to reconnect with it. Someday I hope to get enough emotional garbage cleaned out of my life and mind to be able to do just that. I also suspect that while perhaps anyone who really wants to badly enough CAN learn how to communicate with animals, just as anyone may be able to learn to play the cello given enough time and practice, not everyone will learn to play like YoYo Ma. I think there are some people who are truly gifted and able to do it naturally. Wish I'd been born with such a gift...can't think of anything that would give me more joy, except maybe finding a cure for FeLV. Sincerely, Sally in San Jose
