JANUARY 2012 NEWS
 

Happy New Year to you.  This year, as we all know by now, is an auspicious year.  We move into the belly of the Aquarian Age and for myself, I see it as now or never time.  Do we stay routed in stuck emotions, in our sad never ending stories or do we say “ENOUGH”, time to grow, time to change and mostly, time to love ...
  
Each and every day, I learn more and more.  Not only about my favourite subjects being energy, love and spirituality but also about people.  They remain my best teachers.
 
I was invited to speak on a radio station about Animal Communication and Healing.  I was told that I would be sharing the microphone with a Dolphin Activist and with the producer/maker of a film called “The Cove” (which I have not seen).  The interview turned out to be a debate on “does one swim with Dolphins or not”.  Now, I love a debate and that is what we had.  Since the effects of human healing from Dolphins, or for that matter animal therapy, is not my field of expertise, I did some research and presented it as best I could.  But this was not what the programme was about ... was it.
 
Now, what I learnt was that I am majorly naive and should ask more questions and that people do not always understand your actions, your life and your purpose the way you do.  In this instance, it was the presenter who assumed that I was doing DAT (Dolphin Assist Therapy) as my profession.  To my knowledge, my website, which is where she heard of me, does not mention that I offer this service.  But she must have put 2 and 2 together ... I am a healer and I take people on Dolphin swim retreats ... which gave 5.
 
I do absolutely understand that some humans are not kind to animals or the universe; that we seem to consider ourselves superior to other species.  I find this reprehensible to say the least.  As animals gain consciousness, we seem to be becoming more threatened than ever.  Hence our need to control, overpower and win.  All very sad indeed.
 
The slaughter of Dolphins and other animals worldwide is disgusting and unforgiveable and I believe that as the human race we will pay the karmic debt that we are incurring but does this make all human animal interaction bad ... I wonder???
 
I also did extensive research on the issue of animal interaction in South Africa having any influence on how people treat Dolphins in other countries and specifically Japan.  I find no correlation whatsoever.  Swimming with Dolphins in a conscious, loving, respectful manner and killing Dolphins because of fear and the need for protein don’t seem to correlate at all.  But having said this ...........................
  
On my trips in Mozambique, I have seen the laws being disregarded and have heard that Dolphins have been hurt.  Always by people breaking the law.  My gripe is with the justice system that does not enforce the law and punish people appropriately.  It appears that the problems in Mozambique and Japan share two common points.  One being the total lack of consciousness of humans and the other a break down in the justice system.  Maybe Activists should focus on these two points!
 
Since being involved with Dolphin swims, I have learnt about Cetaceans, the ocean and many of its inhabitants.  I have learnt so much that eating a prawn no longer has the appeal that it once had.  If I have learnt, so have the 50+ people that have joined me.  We in turn teach others and the effect is exponential.  How wrong is this?
 
I would like to state on record that I, in no way or form, support captive or even semi captive Dolphin dives, or for that matter any animals being kept captive or breed in captivity.  Not for human healing or for any other purpose.  Neither do I support the practice of wild animals being touched by humans.  But I say that Dolphins are super intelligent and hence when they come to ones boat and actively interact, how fearful are they of us?  Do they really choose not to be with us?
 
Now this article can go on and on but my thoughts are that Activists are needed at home in South Africa.  Not cavorting around the world in Japan or any other country when our issues are as dire as they are.  Activists need to be aware of their carbon foot print in the same way as they need to be aware that leather shoes and handbags are not “pc” if they choose to make a real impression.  My choice remains education of our people, an insistence that laws be adhered to and most of all speaking out in defence of those that need us most; the elderly, children and animals.
 
What indeed confused me most was that once the interview was over, the conclusion being that I felt that conscious Dolphin interaction was not harmful to the Dolphins or environment and the presenter and activist saying that they could not possibly compromise on this issue, the presenter then offered that I use her facebook page to advertise the events and workshops that I offer!
 
At the time, I thanked her and thought no more about it but now mere hours later, the slow Taurian (me) is really puzzled.
 
Do we really know what we are about?

In conclusion, the night prior to the interview, I sat on the beach, connected to the Universal Consciousness of the Dolphins and this is what they had to say ...  
 

 
In light, love and reverence to all animals
