The Telepathy Tapes: Talk Tracks Ep 7—Telepathy Between Species

Host: Ky Dickens
Guest: Anna Breitenbach (Interspecies/Animal Communicator)
Date: April 18, 2025

Overview

This episode ventures deep into the phenomenon of interspecies telepathy—especially as experienced by non-speakers with autism and animal communicators. Ky Dickens welcomes Anna Breitenbach, a renowned interspecies communicator, to discuss the mechanics, history, stories, and implications of telepathic communication between humans and animals. Listeners are invited to re-examine the nature of consciousness, presence, and the silent yet profound ways all living beings connect.

Key Discussion Points and Insights

1. Introduction to Interspecies Telepathy

• Anna defines her work as “intuitive interspecies communication,” often popularly referred to as animal telepathy, but it applies universally to all beings—including insects and plants.

  "We humans come to the party mostly by connecting with other animals and relearning and remembering these skills that are actually our intuition. It's actually part of the blueprint of our brain and how we are designed."
  (Anna, 02:26)

• Her journey began unexpectedly during nature and tracking exercises, where she received inexplicable information that proved accurate.

  "I began getting spontaneous information that would later prove to be true in ways that my mind had no involvement with."
  (Anna, 03:25)

2. Defining and Understanding Telepathy

• Telepathy, as researched since the 1880s, is characterized as direct “thought transference.” But Anna emphasizes a model beyond sender/receiver—a heart-based knowing, “merging with the truth” of the other being.

  "What's really happening is just a direct knowing in a much more than verbal way... It's all totally beyond and before and outside of words or language."
  (Anna, 07:54)

3. Doubt, Skepticism, and Proof

• Anna recounts the rigors of her training—including double-blind case studies—and describes moments when received telepathic information was so precise, it surprised both her and the skeptics.

  “There was one moment that just really made me finally intend to drop that skepticism... Apparently her young husband had died a year before... he had had a tattoo of a bald eagle's head on his bicep. And that was the dog showing me ... who he was missing.”
  (Anna, 10:12)

4. Types of Telepathic Exchanges with Animals

• Animals pose questions too, often heartfelt, sometimes humorous or deeply painful (e.g., pleas for freedom or questions about human behaviors).

  "Often, given the nature of my work, I'm asked questions to which there is no positive answer... But then animals also ask about our strange habits."
  (Anna, 13:54)

• Notable anecdote: A baboon questioned why humans pick vegetables only to let them rot or “kill” them (via cooking), reflecting profound cross-species curiosity.
  (Story at 16:09)

5. Prerequisites for Telepathic Communication

• Emptiness, presence, and the absence of agenda are vital for genuine contact. Both humans and animals/other beings must trust—emotional and energetic integrity is paramount.

  “It's so, so important to be as empty as possible... just a remembering journey and we need to be still and just get out of the way.”
  (Anna, 20:29)

• Story: Conservationist Lawrence Anthony (“the elephant whisperer”) learned he could initiate telepathic conversations, not just receive. An elephant herd responded promptly to guidance, demonstrating the real-world impact.
  (Story at 21:12)

6. Wildlife Consultation—Practice and Challenges

• Anna is often called in as a “last resort” when conventional approaches fail; skepticism, secrecy, and institutional inertia can dilute the animal’s truth. But lasting behavioral changes often sway doubters.

  "One of the big obstacles... is that when they see an animal changing behavior... they have to confront... the elephant is a fully self aware, sentient being."
  (Anna, 25:56)

7. Animals’ Forgiveness and Compassion

• Despite widespread human-caused suffering, Anna consistently encounters a profound compassion and grace from animals.

  "They really have compassion because... they feel for us because it's all because we've lost our way and the separation sickness we're suffering from."
  (Anna, 29:55)

• Memorable moment: Whales holding up a sign saying “save the humans”—framing animals as compassionate observers of human struggle.
  (Anna, 31:13)

8. Species and Individual Differences in Communication

• Each animal is an individual; while general “species personalities” exist, Anna emphasizes unique voices, interconnectedness, and awareness of collective consciousness (e.g., the story of a bee knowing her hive's status).
  (Anna, 32:11)

9. Universal Consciousness—Communication Beyond Animals

• Anna regards all things—plants, minerals, ecosystems—as conscious; telepathic communication extends to all, not just “sentient” defined by human criteria.

  "Everything is consciousness in a non unit kind of a way. And we humans seem to have forgotten that as well."
  (Anna, 35:16)

10. Human Telepathy and Non-Speakers

• Anna draws parallels between interspecies telepathy and communication between non-speaking humans (e.g., those with autism), coma patients, etc. The process is essentially the same “essence to essence” channel.

  “Whether it's even being to being or whether it's coming from the field that we share... who knows?... Just being out there and having these little hellos with the bird in the garden...”
  (Anna, 39:56)

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• On Skeptics:

  "Some things are true whether we believe it or not. And I can say that of myself early on... Some things are true whether I believed it or not."
  (Anna, 42:55)

• On Presence and Authenticity:

  “Presence with a capital P is what any animal is. They're fully where they are, inhabiting their bodies and available to the moment. Another great truth is authenticity... they're not pretending.”
  (Anna, 59:45)

• On Trust:

  "Trust is super important... for us to communicate effectively and get over the inner skeptic, we do need to trust ourselves... but also the animals have to trust us as well."
  (Anna, 50:01)

• Touching Story (Skeptic Vet Converted):
  Anna accurately relays two favored names a traumatized cat would like (“Minky or Leah”); unbeknownst to her, these are the names of the vet’s dearest friend and daughter, converting the skeptic.
  (Anna, 45:52)

• Elephant Encounter:
  Anna relates a powerful story of breaking trust with a bull elephant, seeing the animal’s immediate and emotional reaction—teaching her about the consequences of severed connection.
  (Anna, 50:01)

Takeaways

• Interspecies communication is an ancient, innate human ability—one of “remembering” rather than acquiring.
• Telepathy is a holistic, presence-based, non-verbal communion that transcends mechanical models of sender and receiver.
• Trust, emptiness, and energetic integrity are foundational for authentic connection.
• All beings—even plants and single-celled organisms—are conscious and communicative; humans have simply forgotten or ignored this channel.
• Telepathic communication, approached with humility and curiosity, has transformative and practical effects for individuals, organizations, and for understanding the broader tapestry of conscious life.
