Responses to the Coast to Coast Art Bell Radio Show

On January 17, 2002, I was interviewed on the Coast to Coast radio show with Art Bell, one of the top rated radio talk shows in the country, broadcasting then on over 500 radio stations nationwide to an audience of 10-50 million listeners nightly.

The three-hour interview (from 11 P.M.-2 A.M.) was a great experience. Art is a very intelligent interviewer and passionate about animals and getting to know how they think and communicate. Out of the flood of e-mail responses, I'll share some that show a range in public attitude.

Last night I listened to you on the Art Bell show and I never heard of anything as ridiculous as your trying to say animals were rational beings. If that was so and they were capable of reason, do you think a herd of cattle would go to slaughter without a battle? Why wouldn't all the animals in the wilds organize against humankind? Do you think a herd of elephants would turn and run from a hunter? I don't think so. Get real.

Penelope's e-mail response: Thank you for writing. Food for thought: Substitute "humans" for cattle and elephants, "people" for animals, and "oppressors" for mankind, and think of examples. What is rational? Different people have different definitions. We all have emotions, fears, and different ways of looking at things and responding. It's wonderful to listen to different individuals of different cultures or species and learn how many different ways there are to view situations. Blessings with all life on Earth.

I really enjoyed your conversation last Thursday, Jan. 17, on the Art Bell, "Coast to Coast A.M." program and wanted to share with you the reaction my cat had to you. Here is the first letter I sent Art: Thursday night when you were interviewing Penelope Smith, the animal communicator, my cat, Mike-y, was fast asleep in an adjoining room. Approximately twenty minutes into the discussion, he came trotting into my room, jumped up onto my bed, and lay next to me, as if listening to the show. At 5:00 A.M. when the show ended, I turned off the radio, and he left for a drink of water to return to the room where he'd originally been. Quite amusing and thought provoking.

Second letter to Art:
I was listening to your show Friday evening via 840 WHAS (Kentuckyanna). They broadcast the last hour of previous show, which happened to be with Penelope Smith. Amazingly, after only a minute or so, here came my cat into the room and he jumped onto the bed, seemingly the better to hear! Maybe this was not so unusual given his like behavior during Thursday's initial show with her. Of course, he only stayed that particular hour. When her segment was over, he was gone!

There was a definite perception that he gravitated to her voice. Can the same actions TWICE be a fluke? I think not!

You may or may not remember Baron or me but I feel I must write to you as again you have helped me and don't even know it. While I was at a clinic of Robyn Hood's in Vernon, BC, my chow Teddy got out of the gate while he was being cared for at home in Alberta and was killed on the highway. My other chow named Xi-Xi (pronounced She-She) was devastated at the loss of her best friend and refused to eat. It took me several days to return home and on the way I picked up a six-month old male chow named Baron. He was more than a handful and was going to be put down if I didn't give him a chance. He tried to kill everything in sight. He and I had more than a few SERIOUS disagreements. I spoke with you one night as he lay in the back porch sleeping and you assured me that he would be okay, that he needed lots of remedial work and that he would be with me "for many years". Well, he was and just recently passed on. One night recently I couldn't sleep and asked for a more concrete sign that Baron is okay in his new surroundings. I got out of bed in the wee hours of the morning and turned on the radio and there you were on Art Bell's program. I knew immediately that my 'sign' had been delivered.

I heard you about a week ago on the "Art Bell show" and never in my life have I been so spellbound to a conversation/discussion. I am a hardworking, middle-class, conservative Bronx New Yorker and must praise you on your breakthroughs in your field. May God bless you and keep you strong to continue to go down the road you've started and to spread the word of your breakthroughs to other people.

Since the 1970s, I've had a mission to bring forth a hidden ability found in everyone. The secret language that unlocks the door to understanding all species. I created the title interspecies telepathic communication to show the wider application of communicating with animals, plants, mountains, rivers…all life, in and beyond physical form. Echolng indigenous wisdom: Everything is alive. Everything communicates.

My vision: People recovering their ability to communicate with other species—realizing it is within them and can be remembered, recognized, practiced, and developed. Exchanging thoughts and feelings telepathically with other species bringing rich realizations and positive change. People living more fulfilling lives as they walk on Earth with other species and all life in mutual understanding and compassion. All beings and Mother Earth enjoying this deep connection.
