                 (Alana gives a
                      dissertation on the awareness of animals and the
                      levels of communication each has for having
                      interactions with them. We also discuss the things
                      that will lead eventually to a spiritual
                      connection.)
 
 
 Russ:
                                                  all right dear,
                                                  let’s…..what do we
                                                  have on the table?
                                                  Let’s go ahead and
                                                  work with animals and
                                                  communication.
 
 Alana: okay yes sorry,
                                                  I’m giving off those
                                                  heavy vibes aren’t I?
 
 Russ: yeah well I’ll
                                                  keep you directed here
                                                  dear.
 
 Alana: okay, now one
                                                  of the important
                                                  things is
                                                  communicating with
                                                  animals is to
                                                  understand that a lot
                                                  of them function on
                                                  emotions and instinct.
                                                  They do not have a
                                                  clear thought
                                                  processes, there are
                                                  exceptions. One of the
                                                  surprising exceptions
                                                  that are not highly
                                                  thinking are the
                                                  canine. The canine act
                                                  primarily on learning
                                                  patterns that are
                                                  hammered in to them
                                                  that if they do this,
                                                  that happens, if they
                                                  do that, this happens.
                                                  So their behavioral
                                                  patterns, although it
                                                  appears intelligent
                                                  and smart, is more
                                                  along the lines of
                                                  being rewarded in
                                                  gift.
 
 Russ: uh-huh.
 
 Alana: felines on the
                                                  other hand, a lot of
                                                  them do actuate on
                                                  instinct and emotions.
                                                  The smaller variety of
                                                  the domestic kind fall
                                                  into two distinct
                                                  categories, those that
                                                  are aware and those
                                                  that are instinctual
                                                  with little awareness.
 
 Russ: hmm.
 
 Alana: now those that
                                                  are aware tend to be
                                                  more, not so much
                                                  affectionate but more
                                                  focused in on who they
                                                  are more in tune with.
 
 Russ: hmm.
 
 Alana: for example,
                                                  there is a feline that
                                                  you have in your house
                                                  that is very
                                                  affectionate to one
                                                  person and one person
                                                  only.
 
 (Mark's cat Joey)
 
 Russ: uh-huh.
 
 Alana: that feline is
                                                  very aware, in fact
                                                  I’ve seen that feline
                                                  slouching around or
                                                  more sneaking around
                                                  up here from time to
                                                  time.
 
 Russ: uh-huh.
 
 Alana: also you have
                                                  another feline which
                                                  is not so affectionate
                                                  but is also a visitor
                                                  here from time to time
                                                  that comes up here
                                                  more for spiritual
                                                  companionship.
 
 Russ: who’s that,
                                                  Ganja?
 
 (one of the house
                                                  cats)
 
 Alana: it’s brown, tan
                                                  with black and is
                                                  little.
 
 Russ: brown, tan,
                                                  black and is little.
 
 Alana: uh-huh, always
                                                  walks around with its
                                                  tail like this.
 
 Russ: hmm, it’s
                                                  probably Ganja.
 
 Alana: yea big, about
                                                  yea tall. Really long
                                                  legs. Anyway, felines
                                                  that are more
                                                  instinctual tend to be
                                                  more affectionate
                                                  because it is you, "I
                                                  give you affection,
                                                  you reward me by
                                                  making me comfortable
                                                  and giving me food. In
                                                  return for that, I
                                                  bring you gifts. I
                                                  bring you freshly
                                                  caught birds, freshly
                                                  caught rodents."
 
 Russ: right.
 
 Alana: so it is that
                                                  side. Now, as I am a
                                                  marine biologist,
                                                  whales. Whales are
                                                  definitely sentient
                                                  but like people, you
                                                  have various different
                                                  degrees of
                                                  intelligence.
                                                  Unfortunately the
                                                  bigger they are the
                                                  less intelligent they
                                                  appear to be.
 
 Russ: hmm.
 
 Alana: you get down to
                                                  the orcas. Orcas are
                                                  highly intelligent,
                                                  highly social, highly
                                                  communicative and they
                                                  travel around in
                                                  family pods......
 
 Russ: right.
 
 Alana: and they’re
                                                  very much in tune with
                                                  each other. Going down
                                                  even smaller,
                                                  dolphins. Again, a lot
                                                  of them travel in
                                                  groups, are very
                                                  social, very
                                                  communicative and
                                                  highly intelligent.
 
 Russ: hmm.
 
 Alana: so being able
                                                  to communicate with
                                                  them, you have to
                                                  interact on their
                                                  level, on their level
                                                  of understanding. A
                                                  dog, you communicate
                                                  through short
                                                  commands, signals and
                                                  rewards. Felines, you
                                                  communicate with
                                                  through voice
                                                  commands, emotions and
                                                  rewards and gentle
                                                  tones in the voice.
                                                  Whales, now the big
                                                  ones are difficult to
                                                  communicate with, they
                                                  may interact and they
                                                  may not. Orcas will
                                                  interact, dolphins
                                                  will play. Orcas you
                                                  interact with on a
                                                  more of a spiritual
                                                  level. The same with
                                                  dolphins, you don’t
                                                  have the ability to
                                                  make the voice clicks
                                                  and whistles and
                                                  clacks and so on. That
                                                  is hard for you to
                                                  communicate. I have to
                                                  wear a special device
                                                  that makes it easier
                                                  for me to make those
                                                  noises but I know what
                                                  they’re saying.
 
 Russ: hmm.
 
 Alana: okay?
 
 Russ: okay. Now then
                                                  with the orcas, aren’t
                                                  you like a rather
                                                  small treat for them?
 
 Alana: no.
 
 Russ: I mean you're
                                                  about the same size as
                                                  a seal.
 
 Alana: nah, they
                                                  wouldn’t go for me.
                                                  They wouldn't go for a
                                                  human.
 
 Russ: why? I mean
                                                  it’s…..how would they
                                                  tell……I mean they know
                                                  the difference I’m
                                                  sure.
 
 Alana: oh yes they
                                                  did.
 
 Russ: why would they
                                                  not……?
 
 Alana: by smell,
                                                  by…..you don’t have
                                                  the flesh content or
                                                  the fat.
 
 Russ: hmm.
 
 Alana: or I don’t. I
                                                  know you don’t. You’re
                                                  not quite as skinny as
                                                  you were.
 
 Russ: true, thank
                                                  goodness.
 
 Alana: uh-huh.
 
 Russ: but even in a
                                                  wetsuit I look like
                                                  seal.
 
 Alana: no you don’t.
 
 Russ: well, two legs
                                                  yeah.
 
 Alana: you have two
                                                  legs, two arms that
                                                  are much longer than a
                                                  seal. You're shorter
                                                  then some seals,
                                                  you’re not as fat as
                                                  most seals.
 
 Russ: maybe a baby
                                                  seal?
 
 Alana: don’t even look
                                                  anything like a baby
                                                  seal.
 
 Russ: oh, so they
                                                  wouldn’t go for me. I
                                                  haven’t heard of many
                                                  orcas attacking
                                                  humans.
 
 Alana: I haven’t heard
                                                  of any.
 
 Russ: hmm, I’m sure
                                                  there’s a story or two
                                                  but I can’t…..
 
 Alana: probably.
 
 Russ: okay, so
                                                  basically they are
                                                  fairly intelligent.
 
 Alana: yes they are,
                                                  highly intelligent.
 
 Russ: okay and so you
                                                  can communicate with
                                                  them in the wild or is
                                                  that......?
 
 Alana: well with the
                                                  correct apparatus I
                                                  can.
 
 Russ: okay.
 
 Alana: uh-huh.
 
 Russ: now what’s the
                                                  purpose of being able
                                                  to communicate with
                                                  animals?
 
 Alana: well the
                                                  purpose is that
                                                  depending on what you
                                                  are communicating
                                                  with, is that you can
                                                  get them to do things,
                                                  you can get them to
                                                  relay information.
 
 Russ: well to other
                                                  animals?
 
 Alana: other animals,
                                                  yourself.
 
 Russ: kind of.
 
 Alana: kind of yeah.
                                                  However if I’m
                                                  correct, Dr. Doolittle
                                                  is purely fictitious
                                                  and fish don’t
                                                  communicate that much.
 
 Russ: right. So
                                                  working with cats,
                                                  which is all we really
                                                  work with around
                                                  here.......
 
 Alana: uh-huh.
 
 Russ: all I’ve mostly
                                                  noticed is that they
                                                  have pleasure,
                                                  satisfaction or need.
 
 Alana: uh-huh.
 
 Russ: and it basically
                                                  breaks down into those
                                                  three......
 
 Alana: yes.
 
 Russ: or two actually,
                                                  pleasure and
                                                  satisfaction would be
                                                  the same thing. So
                                                  satisfaction and need.
 
 Alana: yes.
 
 Russ: okay so we’re
                                                  talking about is going
                                                  to the next level of
                                                  communication.
 
 Alana: uh-huh.
 
 Russ: okay? And that
                                                  would be working with
                                                  them on a more
                                                  spiritual sense?
 
 Alana: yes. Can you do
                                                  some translation for
                                                  me? What’s this and
                                                  that mean?
 
 Russ: try that again?
                                                  Oh, five minutes, wrap
                                                  it up.
 
 Alana: oh okay.
 
 Russ: because it will
                                                  be 11 o’clock.
 
 Alana: ahh
                                                  yes............sorry.
 
 Russ: no problem dear.
                                                  So just real quickly,
                                                  let’s go over to take
                                                  it to the next step
                                                  with communicating
                                                  with animals.
 
 Alana: okay.
 
 Russ: specifically
                                                  cats in our case
                                                  because that's the
                                                  ones we have the most
                                                  practice with.
 
 Alana: okay.
 
 Russ: like the small
                                                  kittens out there who
                                                  are just growing up.
 
 Alana: uh-huh.
 
 Russ: no experience or
                                                  contact with other….
 
 Alana: well you work
                                                  on that point on the
                                                  reward process. You
                                                  give them something or
                                                  you try to get them to
                                                  do something, if they
                                                  do it you reward them,
                                                  if they don’t you
                                                  don’t.
 
 Russ: isn’t that the
                                                  same type of action we
                                                  do with dogs?
 
 Alana: yes but with
                                                  cats being a little
                                                  bit more intelligent,
                                                  they will learn much
                                                  faster and it will get
                                                  to the point where it
                                                  won’t be so much the
                                                  reward that they’re
                                                  after, it’s more the
                                                  satisfaction of having
                                                  done something.
 
 Russ: hmm okay, I see.
                                                  All right so we’ll
                                                  work on that, now
                                                  communicating with
                                                  them on a mental
                                                  level.......
 
 Alana: uh-huh.
 
 Russ: just start like
                                                  a mental commands or
                                                  directions or
                                                  greetings, stuff like
                                                  that and see how they
                                                  respond? If they
                                                  respond well, then
                                                  give them some of the
                                                  food.
 
 Alana: uh-huh.
 
 Russ: okay, so what we
                                                  want to work on then
                                                  is mental telepathy
                                                  with kittens.
 
 Alana: yes but with
                                                  reward process.
 
 Russ: with reward
                                                  process of course.
 
 Alana: uh-huh. Now it
                                                  can also be used I
                                                  believe, bit of
                                                  deductive reasoning,
                                                  is with
                                                  telepathy.......
 
 Russ: uh-huh.
 
 Alana: is that you
                                                  want them to be not so
                                                  much focused in on
                                                  just maintaining
                                                  themselves and getting
                                                  nourishment and
                                                  warmth. Once they get
                                                  to become more active,
                                                  that’s when you start
                                                  to communicate with
                                                  them..
 
 Russ: okay.
 
 Alana: now learning
                                                  the process at an
                                                  early age for them is
                                                  a step towards
                                                  learning how to use
                                                  that on humanoid
                                                  offspring.
 
 Russ: excellent, okay
                                                  we’ll have one of
                                                  those to practice in a
                                                  little while too.
 
 Alana: something
                                                  that’s very hard,
                                                  having trained felines
                                                  that think in the now,
                                                  it's very hard to
                                                  break them of that
                                                  habit. In fact I've
                                                  probably trained maybe
                                                  about 20 felines and
                                                  I’ve only had one that
                                                  succeeded.
 
 Russ: well dolphins do
                                                  the same right?
                                                  Dolphins don’t look to
                                                  the future or the
                                                  past, they look only
                                                  to the now right?
 
 Alana: I beg your
                                                  pardon?
 
 Russ: I don’t know,
                                                  I’ve never worked with
                                                  them but I always….
 
 Alana: they look to
                                                  the past because there
                                                  was a good hunting
                                                  ground.
 
 Russ: oh, see I’m
                                                  asking you because you
                                                  would know.
 
 Alana: uh-huh.
 
 Russ: and I wouldn’t.
 
 Alana: yes, they look
                                                  to the past because
                                                  that was a good
                                                  hunting ground, maybe
                                                  we should go back
                                                  there one day or, we
                                                  don’t go to that place
                                                  because it was…..yes I
                                                  know…..was a negative
                                                  experience, one of
                                                  their members got hurt
                                                  or killed and thank
                                                  you.
 
 Russ: bye-bye love.
 
 Alana: bye.
