Do you think communication is a merely human capacity? If you share your home with a company animal and stop to think for a moment, you will surely change your mind, since our pets are capable of transmitting their emotions and their needs, hence on many occasions we get the feeling that it only makes them we need to talk.
Animals communicate in a way that is not verbal, but not for that reason we should ignore that they communicate, not only with each other, but also with us humans, overcoming any barrier that has to do with the species. Do animals really communicate with each other? How do you perceive what they want to communicate? In this article of Animals and Pets Online we speak extensively about interspecies communication.
The language of animals
Interspecies communication can not be confused with the study of animal behavior that aims to decipher the meaning of it, this is what happens for example with canine ethology, however, interspecies communication is something very different.
Interspecies communication refers to the capacity that each organism has to communicate mentally , not with specific words or messages, but through a transfer of emotions, sounds, physical sensations, forms and images.
This current defends that any animal can communicate with any other, not through certain words (which are the message of the conscious mind) but through deep symbols, which belong to the unconscious region of the mind.
To put it very clearly, and although it is very amazing, interspecies communication refers to the ability of animals to ra telepathically communicate .
Animal communication-Examples
There are scientific theories and determinations that could support interspecies communication, this is the case of the Schumann Resonance (which would act as a guide of electromagnetic waves), or the hypothesis of the collective memory defended by the British biologist and biochemist Rupert Sheldrake.
However, some statements are completely inconceivable by the scientific community , and this is the main reason why it is claimed that interspecies communication is simply impossible.
Despite this, the human being has much to reflect because it is undeniable that we live in an anthropocentric culture , which means that homo sapiens sapiens is taken as center of existence on earth and as a clear superior species.
A good example of this is that animal abuse is still considered culture in some cases and that we barely raise awareness when we consume products of animal origin, sim simply because we believe that we have that right, when it is of course important to change this relationship, since the industry "rewards" animals and nothing has to do with more traditional and less crowded feeding models, where it was important to preserve the dignity of the life of the animal during its existence.
Everything that resembles animals to the human being is quickly rejected, therefore, centuries ago it would have been a true scientific atrocity to say openly that animals are aware of their own However, at present, and demonstrated under scientific parameters, it is known that the following animals develop self-awareness:
- Chimpances
- Bottlenose dolphins
- Bonobos
- Elephants
- Orcas
- Gorillas
- Magpies
- Orangutan
- Dogs
Surely you miss the cats, because if you have a cat surely suspect very clearly that if it is c I seem to be aware of it , but this is another example of the resounding and sometimes wrong that is to say that what has not been scientifically proven does not exist.
How does communication between animals occur?
In the oldest cultures the human being has always understood the existence as a whole and in this sense he has never conceived that his life could be developed outside the understanding of natural phenomena.
Unfortunately, with the arrival of patriarchal societies and especially after the industrial revolution there is a practically irreversible fracture between the environment and the human being , and nature becomes a force that must be submitted for industrial and economic purposes.
However, since ancient times the Interspecies communication has occurred in older societies, good proof of this is found in the history of medicine, which also underwent major changes throughout history.
In indigenous societies The psychological trance was a curative medium and that allowed the unconscious to access very quickly, during the trance no clear words were perceived, but if symbolic messages and in this practice the communication was given species.
Even today it is possible to find shamanic cultures where interspecies communication remains a reality for these communities, in any case, if we can conclude that it is time to leave anthropocentrism behind and the false idea that the earth is designed only for the service and comfort of the human being.
