Default Re: Animal Spirit

Okay Im going to expand on this thread a bit because there is more to learn from human's interaction with the animal world. Many of you would have seen the movie"Horse Whisperer". It was mainly hollywood bs, but horse whispering is about learning the language that the horses use between themselves. It is fascinating to watch an accomplished horseman work in this way with horses. Seems as though the best western cowboys always worked this way. Anyway when learns this knowledge and applies it. It is quite magic.

The point I wish to make in all of this preamble is that in the old days a horse was 'broken in". What the breaking was, was the breaking of its spirit. It became an obedient automatom. And the spirit left in degrees. Its something Ive woken to gradually over the years, as I was brought up with the belief that a horse was broken in and then able to be ridden. When a horse is left spiritless, he is quite dangerous. He does think for himself. He only obeys. Is this beginning to sound similiar to what the dark side have arranged for us!!!!
