Animal Voices: Telepathic Communication in the Web of Life

Since I read this book, the thoughts expressed in it are always with me. These thoughts come from the authors of the book: non-humans. They are whales, insects, horses, etc.They speak about themselves, their history, and us (watch out!). They talk about predator and prey, which includes us. They talk about karma, multi-dimensional reality, their role as pets, their 'captivity ' in zoos and on and on. They all seem to acknowledge multiple incarnations as a given. You probably should read this book if you want to expand your horizons considerably. Also, at this point in our evolution, our relations with the "animals" is strained and one might say, destructive to us and them. Their voices are channelled by about two-dozen animal communicators and the whole is brought together by Ms. Brunke, an excellent editor and writer and a very good soul.I also have been communicating with earthly-non-humans in the past few years. However, they don't seem to speak in the twentieth-century new-agey jargon that I find in this book. I guess it's just how the communication comes out. The animals I communicate with don't use language as we know it or the thoughts behind language as we know it. Their minds are much more silent and not as chatty as some of the creatures herein: they do and they simply do. They help me to do. I think that's what we have to learn form the animals. The constant reflective thinking that we do is not what they do. So where do all of the words in this book come from? I have no doubt they come from the animals as interpreted by the communicators. Just be.Contact with animals is a valuable tool for understanding our mother, Earth, as many species, such as insects, have been here far longer than we have. If we want to know what living on earth is all about, we must learn it from the ones who evolved and perfected themselves to live on earth millions of years ago. I've been trying to learn from them for a couple of years. My first real teacher was a small geometrid moth, who chose me since I had helped her when she was an inch worm ( I was just helping an inch worm one day, out of love for all of us). She died 5 days later. But guess what: she was still there after death and still helped me. She sent her daughter to me. That I could get help from a moth (what an idea!) was given to me by this book. This is why I recommend it.Let's say we want to evolve our consciousness. We read many books -- all the right books to do that, but what we have is still only human knowledge. We go beyond and closer to reality when we cross species and we get closer to the pulse of earth-life itself. This brings us closer to the Tao. On earth, the Tao teaches about earth-life. When we listen carefully, it teaches about universal life.

Great book with useful information.

This is not a light hearted read with animals chatting about their favorite activities, foods, or places to sleep. This is a collection of deep insights from the animals' higher selves. Most of the exchange is about the animals' perspective on human consciousness. Telepathic communicators relay messages like we are all connected and humans have forgotten who they really are. A dog talks about being from another planet, dolphins discuss being inter-dimensional, and several animals share the reasons they chose their current physical forms and their purposes in this lifetime. Lessons are taught - one of which is that the animals' reality isn't necessarily as we humans project it. For example, zoo animals explain that when people feel outraged at wild animals in captivity, we should understand that many of them chose that existence to share and communicate with humans (although many of us aren't listening and hearing them). In another viewpoint, some captive animals discuss being disappointed and sad because they thought their capture was temporary, sort of like a human foreign exchange student. It's definitely an interesting read and, when finished, you'll never look at animals the same again!

I bought this book as a gift for a friend of mine because I discovered that it contained a poem that she loved and had been seeking for many years. Before giving it to her I flipped through it and read some of the stories, and they were lovely! My friend is a huge animal lover, and she was THRILLED with the book. I'm so glad I happened upon it!

I don't think I have ever started to read a book that I was so disappointed by. I was expecting a great, believable, down-to-earth book, and this one was far from it. I got the impression that the writer and the animal communicators she interviewed were expressing fantastic (in the true sense of the word) thoughts thorough animals. They all seemed to make out the animals as being these Godly creatures, with no flaws. They would "speak" of the world and humans from this "better than" place. I believe animals communicate, but I do not believe that all stare at the sky and are constantly contemplating the physics of it all, just as not all humans do. I also do not believe that they are more aware of EVERYTHING than we are, and I certainly don't believe that any creature knows how this magnificent system works. There are a few parts that I enjoyed, but I put down the book feeling generally disgusted with the fact that most of the characters in this book seemed to use animals as a vehicle for their own theories. *I highly recommend "Kinship With All Life" by J. Allen Boone*

Most of the communicators interviewed are wonderful beings.It is fascinating to read their experiences. Some of the thoughts from animals sounded outrageous to me, may be I am not there yet. On the whole a fantastic read.

Great book. Very informative and helpful and full of lots of great information.

Wonderful book, so touching. Whether you believe in animal communication or not, the messages contained in this book help bring you peace of mind. We are all connected.

Having communicated with animals myself for the last 6 years, it was this book that took my understanding of consciousness to a whole new level. Don't even think about buying this book, just do it - you really won't regret it. This takes animal communication to a whole new level and one that is just awe-inspiring!

This is a truly amazing book! I loved it and it is one I know will pull me back into it again and again and again

Fascinating book and excellent service from the seller

This is one of the better reads for beginner animal communicators or those interested in it. I don't recommend it for anyone intermediate or more advanced with animal communication as Brunke explores and starts to develop her own skills as a communicator. I did find it a much better read for beginners than Penelope Smith's Animal Talk.

This is one of my favorite books and I have read it several times and recommended it for our Spiritual Book Club. It is beautifully written by someone who is highly intuitive but, at the time, had just begun to explore the world of animal communication with a healthy skepticism. My favorite aspect of the book are the messages from the animals who teach us that everything has consciousness and we are all One. If mankind would head their compassionate messages, we would quickly become an enlightened society.
