It's a Dog Life*
by Michael Levy
 Any
genuine dog owner realizes there is no basic barrier between the
connection and relationship of human and dog. The oneness that
encompasses the non-physical bond between a loving human and loving dog
is inseparable in nature's true texture.
If we look back in human history, we will discover how the dog became
man's (and woman's) best friend. Around fourteen thousand years ago,
humans started to domesticate wolves. Over a period of many generations,
the wolves lost much of their adrenaline used to hunt and attack other
animals. This altered the chemical balance in the wolves and thus
altered the physical appearance, as well as their habits and actions. No
doubt, the early wolf/dogs would be trained in the hunt for game, whilst
other wolf/dogs were trained to protect the family whilst the men
hunted.
In today's world, there are four hundred different breeds and four
hundred million dogs. There are over sixty-five million dog owners in
the USA.
The wolves that still run wild are just the same, but just look what
difference domestication made to their relatives. If a slight tilt in
the chemical balance changed wolves into dogs, then what has happened to
human beings during the same time span. I'll not go into the changes in
humanity pre-fourteen thousand years ago, because history is vague at
best before the dogs became our manmade buddies. Probably, humans
started to become more domesticated, less fierce and more social inline
with the domestication of the wolves.
There are a few question to ponder since the outset of mans relationship
with dogs ...
-
How authentic is the modern
human being in comparison to the fourteen thousand year old model?
-
Did the dog influence our
beliefs in any manner and is it a coincidence that in today's
language, dog spelt backwards is god? ... Do both give unconditional
love?
-
Did analytical intellectual
thinking evolve by slight changes in brain chemistry at the expense
of dulling the sensitivity in the minds inherent wisdom?
-
Did humans detach themselves
from their natural source of intelligence and evolve by slight
changes in brain chemistry into ego-beings, detaching themselves
from their original source of information?
-
Could it be the reason why
people hold hate, anger, jealousy and a whole host of negative
emotions are because we have lost control on how the chemicals in
our brain evolve?
-
Are all the wars and conflicts
being enacted by a mass of out of control chemicals and we do not
realize it?
-
Has the minds neglect of live
alchemy, that produces divine chemistry, been ignored, so that the
point of life has become meaningless?
Well, let's get back to the dogs for more questions and see if you can
fathom the answers.
-
Did humans, with their love
affair with dogs, make dogs their gods ten thousand years ago?
-
Did ancient dynasties make
idols of dogs and pray to them?
-
Did dog idols guard the tombs
of ancient pharaohs?
-
Did this evolve into
superstitious tales and myths?
-
Did the Greeks take this to a
higher level, and with their mythological tales, did it lay the
ground for the one male god to evolve?
-
Did unbalanced chemicals in
some human brains create world religions outside the realms of true
spirituality, at the same time as reorganizing spirituality's truths
to fit into their new be-lie-f system?
I have yet to find a dog that prays to God for something it lacks... I
guess dogs have the intelligence to know.... Thinking the lack - creates
the lack ... In fact I have yet to locate any animal that prays to the
big chap in the sky. Maybe dogs know they have everything it takes to
enjoy life and to ask for more would be futile.
So, is the male God and religious doctrine/dogmas true or did erroneous
brain chemicals alter the human mind to believe in an invisible man with
super powers?
Are humans separated from other animals and each other because they
misuse their evolved reason and logic and misplaced their divine
alchemy?
The final unresolved questions are;
-
Have humans evolved into a
caring society or one that is propelled by greed and fear?
-
Has manmade religion distorted
the spirit of nature that flows through all life forms and replaced
with a macho male God image?
-
Have the doctrine in religious
differences been the cause of wars and conflicts more than any other
form of human teaching?
-
Has universal intelligence
been annexed by people in power, who want to divide and conquer
humanities true authentic form, at the expense of just being a
connected part of nature?
The latest scientific study on dogs has revealed they can sniff out
cancer and other diseases in human beings and thus help them to recover
before the disease becomes un-treatable. Perhaps if we study dogs a
little closer and observe how they transmit unconditional love to their
owners, we may be able to return to our original form of loving, caring
humans ... Who only desire to live in peace and harmony with all earths'
creatures, large and small.
Intellectual mind believe it can wag God.
