Code of Ethics for Interspecies Telepathic Communicators
Formulated in 1990 by internationally-acclaimed, pioneer
Animal Communication Specialist, Penelope Smith, and published in the Quarterly
Journal of Interspecies Telepathic Communication. Species Link available
through www.animaltalk.net.
Our
motivation is compassion for all beings and a desire
to help all species understand each other better, particularly to help restore
the lost human ability to freely and directly communicate with other species.
We honor those
that come to us for help, not judging, condemning, or invalidating
them for their mistakes or misunderstanding, but honoring their desire
for change and harmony.
We know that to keep this work as pure and harmonious as
possible requires that we continually grow spiritually. We realize
that telepathic communication can be clouded or overlaid by our own
unfulfilled emotions, critical judgments, or lack of love for self
and others. We walk in humility, willing to recognize and clear up
our own errors in understanding others’ communication (human
and non-human alike).
We cultivate knowledge and understanding
of the dynamics of human, non-human, and interspecies behavior
and relationships, to increase the good results of our work. We
get whatever education and/or personal help we need to do our work effectively, with compassion,
respect, joy, and harmony.
We seek to draw out the best in everyone and increase understanding
toward mutual resolution of problems. We go only where we are asked
to help, so that others are receptive and we truly can help. We respect
the feelings and ideas of others and work for interspecies understanding,
not pitting one side against another, but walking with compassion for
all. We acknowledge the things that we cannot change and continue where
our work can be most effective.
We respect the privacy of people and animal companions we
work with, and honor their desire for confidentiality.
While doing
our best to help, we allow others their own dignity and
help them to help their animal companions. We cultivate understanding and ability
in others, rather than dependence on our ability. We offer people ways
to be involved in understanding and growth with their fellow beings of other species.
We acknowledge our limitations,
seeking help from other professionals as needed. It is not our job
to name and treat diseases, and we refer people to veterinarians for
diagnosis of physical illness. We may relay animals’ ideas, feelings, pains, and
symptoms as they describe them or as we feel or perceive
them and this may be helpful to veterinary health professionals. We may
also assist through handling of stress, counseling, and other gentle healing methods. We
let clients decide for themselves how to work with healing their animal companion’s
distress, disease, or injury, given all the information available.
The goal
of any consultation, lecture, workshop, or interspecies experience
is more communication, balance, compassion, understanding, and communion among all beings.
We follow our heart, honoring the spirit and life of all beings as one.
