CATEGORIZE. DEFINE. LABEL.
Humans like to categorize. Define. Label. In a world where we are busy categorizing, defining, and labeling all things, we then assign roles and titles to individuals. Individuals then adopt an identity from these assignments and forget what made them unique to begin with. I believe this is part of a Self Limiting Belief Cycle.
During a recent discussion with a mentor she asked me, “When will you admit what you are?” I looked at her perplexed and said, “What is it that you think I am?” She responded matter of factly, “An Animal Communicator.” I scoffed. “No, Animal Communicators, they are weird.” And with that she replied, “Exactly Jesse.”
I examined my judgmental response of Animal Communicators after our conversation. I found myself judging what I was uncomfortable with because it was not main stream in our culture. What is not proven, what is not understood, and what is undefinable is easier to judge than to embrace. I do not believe Animal Communicators are weird. In fact I believe them to be brave and brilliant. I look at their abilities with desire and envy. It was me I was judging, not them. I was pointing the finger while three were folded back pointing at me. I was judging the fact that I was uncomfortable being different and outside of what is considered main stream. I was uncomfortable believing in my abilities and believing in myself and believing that I could in fact communicate with animals.
The title itself and what I could comprehend from other Animal Communicators was also a struggle for me. Once I could get past my disbelief in myself and my harsh judgements I could feel that I carried a different ability. I could hear, feel, see what horses would tell me through different methods while I could hear, feel, see what humans would tell me through different methods. That is when I realized I translate from horse to human, then human to horse, and furthermore human to human. The only limits that exist are the walls I build. As I continue my evolution I learn to scale the walls to meet my limitlessness. So I gave myself my very own title. I am an Interspecies Translator. If one must have a label in this world make it your own and be sure to make it without limitations.
