Implications are that all beings live in a possible \"common mind\" from which our mass culture has disconnected, but which is only a heartbeat and some concentrated attention away. This mind encompasses microbial life and insects as well as creatures and extends to nonmaterial intelligence as well--that is to say, spirit.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCreatures as varied as a collaborating dragonfly, ants rescuing each other, a sympathetic lizard, an empathic coyote, gift-giving squirrels, crazed birds, and lots of very mysteriously smart cats inhabit the stories.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePrecognition, dreams, paranormal experiences with birds, psychic communications with cats, visitations from ghosts with messages, rolling earth spirits--not supernatural, they seem natural enough but not visible to everyone.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe intention of this book is to help people catch interactions they themselves experience with nonhuman and even disembodied beings, and who could use some support for recalling since these interactions make clear we live in a sentient world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 208\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.6 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 25, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51768488427808,"sku":"9781597091183","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/9ebd364a0f196471f624003ba1891aa4.webp?v=1780330770","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/touching-creatures-touching-spirit-living-in-a-sentient-world-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
