Shiloh Says

Our world is changing quite rapidly and in ways that few, if any of us, has ever experienced before.  Many of us, including our leaders, are at a loss on how to move forward in this current climate of chaos and confusion.  We find ourselves wondering “what’s next?”

New times call for new and different ways of approaching problems and issues, new ways of creating new life.  Albert Einstein (1879-1955) said: “The significant problems we have cannot be solved at the same levels of thinking with which we created them.”

So, I’m going out on a limb and saying that asking the animals for help in solving our problems is certainly a different level of thinking from the thinking that originally created the problems!

In yesterday’s post, Maverick Melberg gave his thoughts on the economy.  Today, we’re going to hear from my horse, Shiloh.

JR:  Hi Shiloh, how are you, buddy?  Are you willing to talk today about the world economy and share your thoughts with us?

S:  “I’m doing good today.  I like it when you call me ‘buddy’ and I’m always happy to tell people what I think.

“First of all, I want to say that it is good, so very good that people are beginning to ask the help of us animals and are beginning to listen to us.  We have a different perspective from you humans, and you can learn from our perspective, if you are willing to stop your antics and listen to us.

“It is important to remember that each animal will offer their perspective on your current situation.  No one perspective is right, nor is it wrong.  Each perspective offers a kernel of truth and hope, and it is when all perspectives are put together, and looked at as a whole that a true picture will emerge and you humans will begin to be able to right yourselves.

“Humans tend to look at life in black or white, night or day, either…or.  No!  You must stop looking at Life like that!  It is not me or you, it is me AND you.  It is together that we make a complete unit, not factions or fractions!

“Look at us horses.  We work together in a herd!  Our herd offers us safety and it lets every horse be who they are meant to be.  We don’t wear disguises!  I’m not a leader, I don’t try to lead.  The herd would be in trouble if I were to try to be the leader!

“Do not think in small terms when I use the word ‘herd.’  I use it to mean the collective, not groups, or divisions, or factions.  The trouble with you humans is that you don’t think in the collective.  You think too small, you think only in either….or; me OR you.  You don’t think in the big picture, you don’t think in the all together.

“When you don’t think in the collective of all, problems occur.  You are now seeing that and living the results of your either….or thinking.  It is time to come out of that, it is time to come together in your collective herd.

“You have asked about the economy, but I am talking about thinks that need to be taken care of before the issue of your economy and other situations can be solved, renewed and recreated.

“If you humans try to resolve your problems before coming together, you will only create more problems, dig yourselves deeper into the hole that you have already created.

“Now, this is what you can learn from us horses.  We teach working together, being in a herd.  We are powerful, you can harness our strength and forward motion and we will help you pull yourselves out of this hole.  We teach love, we teach compassion.  We have worked with you humans from times untold, we are willing to continue to work with you now.

“As humans learn to work more together in the collective human herd, you will notice us horses being more and more with you.  We are here for you, as all animals are here for you.”

JR:  Thank you, buddy.  I will tell others what you have said, and I’ll see you later today.

So says Shiloh.  I invite you to consider how Horse can help you in your own, personal situations of coming together, becoming part of the “collective human herd.”  Leave your comments on how you experience this; it’s very likely that your experience will help someone else on their journey.

Harmony,

Janet Roper
