First Language: A Journey into Animal Communication    http://www.timelessspirit.com/NOV03/dawn.shtml

~ A short article about Queen, a cat who was getting ready to transition to the spirit world, and wanted to share the experience with her human. Another version of this story is included in Awakening to Animal Voices.

A Different Kind of Knowing: Talking with Plants

http://www.timelessspirit.com/MAY04/lifetalks.shtml

 

~ Many years ago, while undergoing a series of daily talks with a variety of animals on an even wider variety of subjects, I began to receive a persistent recommendation from some of the animals to begin talking with plants. "Experience," the animals told me. "You need more experience - a different kind of knowing, a different kind of opening." This article tells the story of talks I had with a philodendron and a cactus ~ definitely a different kind of knowing!

Our Evolving Sexuality

http://www.timelessspirit.com/SEPT04/lifetalks.shtml

 

~"Sexuality is a powerful emotion that runs through every being like a cord - something like an energetic equivalent of what the spinal cord is to mammals. It 'holds' us in a certain way." This was part a fascinating talk I had with a mother dog named Maxie. As Maxie and I spoke about her pups and her experience of giving birth, we moved from a dog-human connection to a larger version of shared consciousness in which we explored the nature of evolving sexuality. 

A Talk with the Penguin People: 

On Marriage, Duality, and the Gateway to Unity 

http://www.timelessspirit.com/NOV04/lifetalks.shtml

 

~This is another one of my columns for Timeless Spirit, the theme of which this issue was "A Unique Perspective." And, this talk with the Penguin People was definitely a unique take on gaining more fluidity in shifting one's perspective so as to see a larger version of ourselves and the world around us. I can't even classify this one or describe it very well, other than to say if you are interested in a view that is unusual in comparison to the normal human paradigm, then you might like to share a few moments with the Penguin People. Enjoy!

On Peace and the Pursuit of Perfection

http://www.timelessspirit.com/JAN05/lifetalks.shtml

 

~ "Sometimes you worry that you are not doing what you 'should' be doing. Though, of course, the 'should' is tied up in your own ideas. This is true for everyone. There is no real perfect path. There are only movements deeper into the self..." This was a long talk I had with my pal Zak about peace ('People Experiencing A Creative Eternity') and the illusive pursuit of perfection.  

Polar Bear Communication

http://www.timelessspirit.com/MAR05/lifetalks.shtml

 

~This was a really lovely talk I had with a large group of Polar Bears who had gathered together in a coastal area in the far north of Alaska. It coincided with a time in the human world in which there were many international meetings that focused on the environment and other global issues. The Polar Bears were very gracious in sharing their knowledge and the talk covered a lot of territory, including "reawakening the deeper medicine we Polar Bears hold and carry for the planet."

To See With New Eyes

http://www.timelessspirit.com/MAY05/lifetalks.shtml

 

~This article is about the first time I ever 'shifted' the shape of my consciousness and saw through the eyes of another animal--an eagle! It is about vision and trying on a variety of perspectives (such as seeing through the eyes of another) in order to experience other versions of the world.

Trust and Love: A Dream Journey Through Fear

http://www.timelessspirit.com/JULY05/lifetalks.shtml

 

~Trust and Love: key words for the evolution of all of us, yes? This article concerns a dream I had about being in an enclosure with a number of elephants. One of the elephants lowered her face and looked me directly in her eyes. Her deep, brown-eyed gaze was so gentle and even though she was calm, I began to fearful. On waking, I remember thinking this was because she was so large and I was so small. What do dreams like this tell us about ourselves? And, how can we use our dreams to help us learn more about our inner fears? My canine friend Barney was happy to help me with this dream, and the article looks at the kinds of shifts we are capable of making when we allow ourselves to be vulnerable and look more deeply into why we dream the things we do.

Inspiration From Above

http://www.timelessspirit.com/SEPT05/lifetalks.shtml

 

~"We come to you today from the air -- birds of wide, white wings. We are not well known in your time, but come from another, ancient order. We wish to speak about a resurrection of the world heart. In some ways, it is opening the past so as to better embrace the future. Let us explain..." So began a talk I had with a group of beings who come to earth to inspire and infuse us all with bits of wisdom and remembering. This is a bit of an 'out there' kind of talk, but one that I really enjoyed and one that speaks to planetary evolution as well.

A Wag of Faith

http://www.timelessspirit.com/NOV05/lifetalks.shtml     

 

~This is a story about my big, black, wonderfully loving Lab, Max, and a short talk with Spirit of Dog about the subject of faith and why dogs and humans have such a special relationship. As Spirit of Dog notes, "No matter how hardened your human feelings, if you sit with a dog, you cannot help finding that your heart naturally opens. This is a 'built-in' promise between man and dog, one that is devised to allow you movement through hardened or stuck emotions which prevent you from seeing and feeling the larger fullness of who you are"  Click the link or picture of Max to read more!

Teachings of the Earth Council

http://www.timelessspirit.com/JAN06/lifetalks.shtml

 

 

~"One early morning, not long ago, I awoke from a terrific dream. It was so vivid and powerful that its images and ideas still pulsed through my body as I opened my eyes. It was one of those multi-leveled dreams--one in which I was 'me' but also a spirit self that was part observer, part participant." This article features dream sharing and a conversation-experience with the Earth Council and some of their concerns for planet earth.

Movement of Being

http://www.timelessspirit.com/MAR06/lifetalks.shtml

 

~"I want to tell a story," Max told me one morning. "It is a true story about me, Max, and about before I used to be the big black dog that I am today." I am most always surprised when Max tells me a story, for he is not a particularly talkative guy. But this is a story of his 'becoming' that he wanted to share with me, and with you. I hope you enjoy it!

The Power of Humor

http://www.timelessspirit.com/MAY06/lifetalks.shtml

 

~"What I have come to find is that, for me, laughter is quite often a doorway into such larger spaces of seeing, feeling and be-ing in the world. Laughter opens us up to other ways of perceiving reality. And, sometimes, it changes who we are." This article features a talk with a bird and my old pal Zak, a sharp-witted canine with some sly humor. In particular, Zak helps me transform feelings of fear into light through the transformative power of laughter.

 

Expanding Horizons: The Meeting of Stone and Sky

http://www.timelessspirit.com/JULY06/lifetalks.shtml

 

~This article begins with a lucid dream of flying and merges into a talk with a group of beings who "regulate the interconnections between stone and sky." The main discussion is about the melding of realties and, especially, how this fits within the larger framework of shapeshifting.  Plenty to chew on in this talk! 

Opening to Beauty and the Goddess

http://www.timelessspirit.com/SEPT06/lifetalks.shtml

 

~This is the original, longer version of a talk that a lovely horse named Ellie shared in Animal Voices. As Ellie notes, "Beauty is about expanding and elevating your frequency. There are many places/dimensions where Beauty is incarnate. Beauty comes with developing a trust of the self." I am very glad to finally be able to share Ellie's full treatise on beauty and the goddess here.  

Interview with Hilly Rose  (1 hour program ~ Aired 2-11-03) http://radio.atlantisrising.com/HillyRose/207_Dawn_Brunke/207_Dawn_Brunke.shtml  

 

~ Hilly likes to explore ET and UFO topics and anything that is a little strange, so some of this interview tended towards the more far-out aspects of animal communication, but overall it was great fun and we discussed many topics. 

Interview with Shirley MacLaine (1 hour program ~ Aired 11-02-03) http://www.shirleymaclaine.com/i-expression/ieradioguests2003.html 

~ This was one of my all-time favorite interviews since I have always enjoyed Shirley MacLaine.  We spoke about a great many topics and had some nice laughs. NOTE: This is a pay-to-listen site, so if you want to hear the interview, you must first become a member of the Shirley MacLaine site.
