I'm going to have to try that with Garye the pigeon - try mentally communicating with her. See if she picks up on it.

I doubt it.

All she wants to do is eat.

Garye, if you doubt it, don't even try it; you'll be wasting your time. I think three key factors are silence and belief and awareness. Also, a sense of helplessness will aid in springing open any door (consciousness) that is nailed shut. It is a fact that every living thing recognizes danger. Even a tree knows when the flames of a out-of-control forest fire are approaching.


Phil, where are you located? I'm at Las Vegas Blvd. & Peeble.

Don't tell me you're the guy with the birds on Bermuda.

I really do believe you as I believe that is probably the only way you were able to rescue that pigeon. I WANT to communicate with this pigeon I named Garye. I like her a lot. I think in a way she knows me too. After all, she changed her hours from noon to mornings once she found out that I could only visit her and her friends in the morning. And of all the pigeons there, besides Charlie and Broken Foot, she is the only one that's always been brave enough to come right up to my car. The others scatter away.

Broken Foot will look right at me as if to try and say something to me. Sometimes I sense that with Garye.

Maybe I'll get lucky and it'll happen between us. I hope so anyways. I really like those birds and I worry about them getting harmed when I'm not around.

Yes, the tree...and the famous experiments with the venus fly trap plants hooked up to monitors who identified the person in a line up of sorts who had earlier slashed another venus fly trap to death.

I think w/out believing, this phenomena will occur in life threatening situations.
Time slows almost to a seeming standstill, enabling enhanced observational skills and the awareness of the shift in consciousness. The immediate need of impending danger, life threatening in nature, causes us to unconsciously draw on pre-existing resources not utilized in our normal daily activity. Like any path once trodden, it is easier to find again having used it even if only for that one point in time.

I agree with feralpigeon 100%. Aren't scientists always telling us that we are not using all of our brain??

There are just too many stories of people using "extrasensory" skills to dismiss out-of-hand. Using "I WILL" instead of "I TRY" will make the difference. Good luck and have fun!

That was the phrase I sought: "a frozen moment in time in which only two creatures occupy the available space."

Hi Yo Pauly,

I am on the Southern end of Down Town, more or less Main and Charleston.

Where is 'Peeble'?

Too...

'Believing' is all too easily the handmaiden of presumption and imposition.

This is more like suspending beliefs in order to enter into an acquiesence...in order to 'know' rather than to believe.

Birds are already 'there'...

Too, 'Science' has led us down many not-so-garden paths leading no where.

Forget 'brains'...as such, or as 'if' the rest of one's body were not sensitive, disposed to be aware, and able to know things and to be deferential, variously, to things. But too, if we do not use our Brains at least a little bit correctly, the synergy or concert is lost, so far as the Brain and other localizations of operative intelligence and vision, ability, knowing...and of course the deeds which rely on them.

We have a second 'Brain' also below our solar Plexus, which 'science' now wishes to prod with electrodes and so on.

This is more a matter of Brain in concert with Heart, and it is more than poetic metaphor.

The Aegyptians of old, represented the 'seat- of 'intelligence' with the stylized depection of a 'Heart'...

This was no accident or sentimental, naive allusion.

So, that would be the "brain" below your belt?

[feralpigeon]

Well, there are many developed systems available to access other states of consciousness that we may not normally use. Alot of times, what works for one person may not for another probably due to natural or "native" affinity.

But the circumstances being referenced here I think have more to do with an internal shift that comes about through crisis, a crisis strong enough to cause the individual to unconsciously reach for internal resources not normally accessed by that individual in an effort to avert crisis. In that kind of a situation, there is not time for a conscious suspension of belief. There are many documented instances of this type of experience.

Although, steadfast adherence to a "belief system" has the potential to block out "non-relevant" information, as well as provide purposeful direction.

Well, after observing my male pigeons I have to say that they think with that "brain". So the "bird brain" seems to be in the gutter (at least for the males).

I hear some people think with that part of their body too.

Thanks for the esoteric meaning of 'bird brain'.....always wondered about that....
