Introduction
In Episode 7 of Talk Tracks, hosted by Ky Dickens, the focus shifts to the profound abilities of Anna Breitenbach, an interspecies communicator. Anna's work delves into telepathic connections with animals, exploring how these silent exchanges reveal deeper truths about communication beyond words.
Defining Telepathy and Interspecies Communication
Ky Dickens opens the conversation by inviting Anna to define telepathy and discuss its evolution:
“How do you personally define telepathy and what is your understanding of how it has evolved over time?” (06:49)
Anna Breitenbach explains telepathy as a "thought transference," emphasizing that it's more than just sending and receiving information mechanically. She describes it as a "direct knowing in a much more than verbal way," where she becomes one with the other being’s truth:
“What's really happening is just a direct knowing in a much more than verbal way... a simple merging with, and becoming one with the truth of that other being.” (07:17)
Anna's Journey and Experiences
Anna shares her personal journey into telepathic animal communication, beginning unexpectedly while working in Silicon Valley. Her discovery started during tracking training with the Wilderness Awareness School, where she began receiving spontaneous, inexplicable information about animals:
“It was a complete surprise to my logical left brain... I thought, one of two things is happening. Either I'm just going completely crazy and hallucinating, or there's something to this I need to investigate.” (02:37)
Her exploration led her to study under the Assisi International Animal Institute, focusing on the physics of communication, compassionate living, and indigenous practices. Over the years, Anna transitioned from pet consultations to wildlife conservation, rescuing and rehabilitating animals.
Trust in Telepathic Communication
Ky addresses the importance of trust in telepathic bonds, both with animals and within oneself:
“How important is trust to this ability to connect telepathically or energetically with another being?” (48:43)
Anna underscores that trust is crucial in both directions. She emphasizes the need for individuals to trust themselves and maintain energetic integrity:
“Trust is super important... the animals have to trust us as well. They have to trust us in the moment.” (49:29)
She recounts a poignant experience with an elephant in Botswana, highlighting how breaking trust can affect the communication and relationship:
“He got so upset with me... He tossed his head and kicked up dust and just so upset at me.” (54:27)
Communication with Different Species
Anna discusses the diversity of communication across species, illustrating that each being has unique personalities and ways of expressing themselves. She shares experiences with a wide range of animals, from bears to bees, and even plants:
“Different species have different perhaps collective personalities... But in any individual communication with an animal, I'm literally connected with that individual soul, that individual essence.” (31:50)
Her communication extends beyond animals to encompass plants and ecosystems, reinforcing the idea that consciousness permeates all forms of life:
“Telepathic communication therefore doesn't stop with animals or insects or with single-celled organisms. That's why I do refer to it as interspecies communication.” (34:55)
Addressing Skepticism
Ky explores the challenge of skepticism faced by Anna, both personally and professionally:
“How do you respond to skeptics who see telepathy as unscientific or something impossible to prove?” (42:24)
Anna expresses understanding towards skeptics, stating she doesn't seek to persuade them. Instead, she relies on personal experiences and case studies that demonstrate the validity of telepathic communication:
“Some things are true whether we believe it or not... I've got compassion for that. And I'm not on any personal mission.” (42:24)
She shares a significant moment where her communication with a cat provided undeniable evidence to a skeptical veterinarian, ultimately earning her respect and trust:
“She had a daughter named Leah. So somehow this cat had known that those were the people that mattered the most to the vet... she kept the cat.” (45:21)
Teaching and Developing Telepathic Skills
When asked about guiding others to develop telepathic abilities, Anna emphasizes practice and personal experience over formal teaching:
“The workshops that I have run over the years are less about teaching and more about helping. Remember that folks can practice with this.” (57:05)
She recommends resources like Penelope Smith’s animal talk network and encourages individuals to engage with their own animals to build and refine their telepathic connections.
Core Truths Discovered Through Communication
In the concluding part of the episode, Anna shares the profound truths she's uncovered through her silent and still communication with various beings:
“Presence with a capital P is what any animal is. They're fully where they are, inhabiting their bodies and available to the moment.” (59:13)
She highlights authenticity, the understanding of death as a mere transition, and the interconnectedness of all life forms. These insights underscore the fundamental differences in consciousness and existence between humans and other species.
