( ) As a person who has learned to communicate with the various dogs who have shared their lives with me, I was able to be open to the premise of this book. I was willing to accept the communication with the housefly, but that is probably the most unusual case of animal communication that I have ever read about. If one can accept the idea that each animal group is organized by a greater group Soul or Deva, then it is likely that there could be communication from one's own Soul level to the Soul entity embodying that group. Fascinating little book about the author's adventures in communicating with and receiving wisdom from a number of critters, including a housefly. Most memorably and eloquently, though, he tells of his time as student of the great movie dog Strongheart, whose seeming presence and intelligence turns out not to be a result of Hollywood trickery. I can't decide whether I liked this book or not. I guess that's why I gave it two and a half stars. I love the concept of communing with all animal life forms and enjoying the enlightenment that accrues from that. I can even believe that it happens. The problem I had with the book was in the writing style I guess. I wanted to keep reading to see where Mr. Boone was going with his postulation and he had a habit of leaving me a bit high and dry at the end of each chapter so that I needed to get into the next one fairly quickly to find out where he actually was going. I found that a bit "novelistic", if I can get away with using a word like that. I want more so I will read more of his writing to see what else I might learn. I wonder if he ever heard a tree scream when it was cut into. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
Is there a universal language of love, a "kinship with all life" that can open new horizons of experience? Example after example in this unique classic -- from "Strongheart" the actor-dog to "Freddie" the fly -- resounds with entertaining and inspiring proof that communication with animals is a wonderful, indisputable fact. All that is required is an attitude of openness, friendliness, humility, and a sense of humor to part the curtain and form bonds of real friendship. For anyone who loves animals, for all those who have ever experienced the special devotion only a pet can bring, Kinship With All Life is an unqualified delight. Sample these pages and you will never encounter "just a dog" again, but rather a fellow member of nature's own family. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
