The animals are at a level prior to thinking. They haven't lost themselves in thought. We rise above thinking and then we meet them again, where we're both in no-thought. There's a deep connection.

So one could say that the only real problem is dysfunctional thinking, the rest are challenges, not problems.

True intelligence operates silently. Stillness is where creativity and solutions to problems are found.

The vital function that pets fulfill in this world hasn't been fully recognized. They keep millions of people sane.

Man Made 'God' in his own image. The eternal, the infinate, the unnameable was reduced to a mental idol that you had to believe in and worship as 'my god' or 'our god'.

As you go about your life, don't give 100 percent of your attention to the external world and your mind. Keep some within.

Our animal friends’ non-reactive and forgiving natures can teach us positive spiritual lessons on a daily basis.
