and really exploring this matter of oneness, not as some meditation retreat only inquiry once a year if I take a break from my daily life, but really my internal reactions to things, being in oneness, being connected to that essence at the heart of the foundation of every expression of life. And in this non-duality path, it really is about not walking from a place of separation.

and really exploring this matter of oneness, not as some meditation retreat only inquiry once a year if I take a break from my daily life, but really my internal reactions to things, being in oneness, being connected to that essence at the heart of the foundation of every expression of life. And in this non-duality path, it really is about not walking from a place of separation.

So in this non-separate world, I too am not separate from the critics or the inner critic. I was a big skeptic myself. I've got compassion for that. And I'm not on any personal mission. I'm really not on a personal mission. It's not about numbers or quantity. And it's not about quantity either for the animals, by the way. They are interested in quality of life and quality of connection.

So outcomes and projections and new term extinction scenarios or healing statistics and the numbers game just doesn't really speak to me anymore. All we ever truly have is the present moment. And I don't mean that as a fortune cookie or a high spiritual statement, but just truly, you know, nobody knows what's going to happen in the next minute.

And I don't mean that as a fortune cookie or a high spiritual statement, but just truly, you know, nobody knows what's going to happen in the next minute.

I think really what's being asked of me certainly is to just be quiet enough that I can see what's being asked of me in the next minute.

In the area where I lived, there was a vet clinic quite far away and where I took my cats and both the vets who were co-owners of the practice were not at all interested in me arriving and saying, my cat feels this and that. They were just rolling their eyes and you could see their thought bubble. Didn't need to be telepathic to see their thought bubble. It's just, oh, shut up.

You're not the expert, you know. Nonetheless, it would play out to be true, and the cat did have this or that, or the lump in the belly or whatever, and of course it was just, you know, put down to guesswork.

But one of those vets who was the biggest skeptic, very fundamentally religious, and there was no place in her worldview for this, which she acknowledged, and she set me up, and let me know it wasn't set up. She said, come on to my house and talk to my dogs, and then we'll see about this, you know. So I did.

I wasn't chuffed at the vibe of the whole thing, but I did go around and interviewed her golden shepherd and her beautiful retriever. And they said whatever they said about their lives that I knew nothing about. But, you know, being dogs who had a caring vet as their person, there wasn't much needing or lacking in their life.

So therefore, things they were saying, you know, could have been, you know, obvious or worked out. They were fairly sort of ordinary and they just were just too happy to have anything material to say. Then she said, oh, by the way, there's a cat locked in my laundry room.

It was surrendered to my practice and the people just never, you know, never ever came back and I wasn't able to find her a home. So she's just locked up there now, basically. And would you talk with her as well? I'm like, okay. I said, what's her name? No, it hasn't got a name. For now, I'm just saying meow. I'm not going to give her a name, you know.
