Below is something I wrote in a discussion group with regard to people arguing about ‘methods’ of ‘training’ horses. Of course, things tends to get heated in such discussions. Here’s my own theory of why that happens
It’s funny about the “energy” thing … the “intent” thing. And the personal thing. Good horsemanship is all about energy and intent … horses are hardwired to receive all the frequencies of the energy/environment around them. That’s why even if we put a ‘smile on all 4 cheeks’ as Parelli would say (and no, I’m not particularly a fan but there’s something good to gained from everyone) if our HEARTS aren’t smiling then the horse is gonna know it. The same with the written/keyed word. I think we’re all finding out that even though we’re miles and miles away from each other that the energy of the INTENT of what’s in our hearts truly travels and is not only received by the reader BUT … it is received in a manner that is colored by the receiver’s past experiences. … Just like horses. “It’s all about what’s in your heart and how you use it.” … Anyone who is practiced in good horsemanship is (hopefully) going to be able to ‘receive’ the intentful energy and feel it just as a horse does. And we do react just like a horse – if something grates us the ‘wrong way’ then we get defensive and dig in – resist.
The trick is being able to ‘think through’ the interference and find the ‘good’ in the sender’s/writers heart. And the lesson to study is HOW to do this as well as, and more importantly actually, HOW to get past the negative energy in our own spirit so as not to be sending it out to everyone else. One can also choose NOT to receive that neg. energy. Horses can’t necessarily do this and many humans definitely can’t. The horse will resist as strongly as the energy he’s receiving. We tend to do the same. The horse reacts (think RE-acts) and humans do the same. Do we not want to teach the horse to think things through instead of re-acting? I think we all might benefit from that lesson as well. Stop-think-act instead of simply re-acting. And then if the receiver (reader of posts) re-acts, take that into consideration and think of another way to state something that might help the reader think through, encouraging positive thinking instead of negative reacting. BE the change … so others can feel it. Even across the miles. We’re not much different from horses. And horses are not much different from humans.
How and what do YOU think?
