The other animals demonstrate an acute use of all their senses...

[Mister Obvious]

Humans don’t do that... they don’t use all their senses to gauge situations, or conditions that are close by, or far away. They don’t use all their senses to get a “feel” for the unseen in the way other animals do. It’s like they've been programmed out of this natural behavior. They must reconnect with and hone these skills, like the other animals do.

It's not just the animals, it's the trees too.

When the trees make a lot of acorns it means a cold winter is coming our way. How the fuck do the trees know this? It's all connected somehow.

I think people could be connected like this but there is so much going on in their busy lives they don't think about it. We are so sheltered from what's natural I don't think it's possible to get anywhere near the level of knowledge a tree has.

Great point, Creamy... thank you so much. Food for thought.

I might be over thinking this but... I think I have noticed something with birds. Like when I think to myself that I don´t want a bird on the ground in front of me to fly away as I walk up to it, because I don´t want it to be afraid of me, I´ve noticed they tend to stay put on the ground, even though birds here aren´t at all relaxed around people. I´m not talking about the lame pigeons but other birds that are totally afraid of people. I have seen it work several times. Like birds that would normally fly away when they see you 5 meters away will let me walk past them just 1 meter beside them.

Maybe there´s something to it maybe those were just some tired birds. But I´ma keep trying it

It's kinda like the way cats sniff around...

Dogs tend to sniff around more than cats do, but if cats are really trying to suss something out, and figure out what's going on even at a distance...

They'll sniff and they're gathering data from greater distances than what is even immediately apparent.

They're assessing how the environment close to them is interacting with what is in the environment at a distance.

I experienced this earlier today and finally understood it... crazy shit.

how do animals operate? instinct? what is instinct? ...do animals have intuition?

how is intuition treated in human society? is it cultivated? is it bemoaned as superstition?

from whence does intuition come?

in light of such phenomena as the 100th monkey effect... should we be directing our attention to a psionic network of beings operating both inside and outside of this construct?
